and last time I looked, they still had a NFL team. Last year, only half the NFL teams averaged more people in attendance at the 8 homes games than the Jags. We are still a very young franchise and with the growth of Jacksonville, I have no doubt that Jacksonville can be a big sports city. Of course, a consistent winner wouldn’t hurt.

Winning will cure what ails us. The indiginous half of the city that is infected with a passion for college football will share its allegiance, and the half that relocated from elsewhere and retains its passion for another team will jump on the bandwagon like a mongoose on a snake. Or a bilge rat.

Six years of drafting and no superstars. Six years of overpaid, underachieving crack addicts and thugs and malcontents turned a city of mostly hard-working blue collar people off when it came to a team they couldn’t identify with. Wayne Weaver has made two big mistakes with his franchise. One was hiring Shack over Gene and the other was believing that putting games on tv when they should have been blacked out would eventually get more fans to buy tickets.

The colleges around our area that have a very large fan base are recruiting HIGH CALIBER PLAYERS, thats why they keep winning and keep their fans!!!!!

The JAGUARS, on the other hand, dont want to spend the money to bring in HIGH CALIBER PLAYERS, thats why we keep losing games and fans!!!!!!

1. NO, you have to win games to give the fans something to brag about….AKA no wins, no tickets!!!!!!

2. NO, as long as FIRST BAPTIST has DOWNTOWN JACKSONVILLE in a choke hole, it will never develop into a main attraction for Jacksonville…….

Atleast Tom Coughlin Opened his mouth!!!!!! and said no…..

Hey I see a 10-6 season 1st round this year!!!!

Daunte Culpepper,Mike Vick, Backup QB….Asante Samuels,or Leto Sheppard CB………, Marvin Harrison and Torry Holt WR……… Gabe Watson DT

Marvin Harrison is basically the same contract, everybody know he and Peyton got into it with each other and Peyton stop throwing him the ball…….

Gabe Watson was Arizona DT…….that basically got them to the Superbowl with his force in the middle……..

Lito WANTED to come back home and we wouldnt take him……….

Asante was just a good corner that was available..

We did get Torry Holt…….

Culpepper out of retirement is still better than any BACKUP we have and would be a great fit if Garrard went down……

Mike Vick………The Eagles PLAYED everybody by coming out first and saying that they didnt want him knowing it would spark the league teams to follow in their words knowing the whole time that they did want him………and like I have said the whole time it wouldnt be BAD to bring a changed man on the team……. and as far as Negative Publicity, it cant be any worse than it already has, so the only way to go from there is Positive……I never got that Negative part…..Its been public for two years. Not like it just happened and the team signed him two weeks later……..If the PETA protesters keep on they are gonna get burned…..This is America and we love football Period….Those people keep coming out in front of stadiums, its like they protesting football……They gonna end up in front of the wrong stadium trying to protest and get trampled…….Mark my words…….

I know everyone has heard this theory before and it may just be wishful thinking but most true Jags fans are just coming to the age where they can afford season tickets. I was seven during the first season so the Jags have been my team unlike most of the current potential season ticket holders who grew up with another franchise. I’m 20 now and still in college (WFU) but I’m going to make it to at least three games this season (Cards, Colts and Fins see you there!). The tickets are still my dad’s but once I’m out of school, I’ll be first in line to buy tickets. Hopefully enough people like us will be graduating or at the point in their careers where they can afford to be ticket holders Hell it ain’t that much!
