As we hit hump day and wait for the all important official injury report, let's take a look at some interesting notes for this Sunday's match-up with the Denver Broncos, including who the announcers will be.
For the game, the Jaguarsget play-by-play man Kevin Harlan and color from Solomon Wilcots, so get ready for the "Wisdom of Solomon." Was Wilcots the guy who absolutely adored former quarterback turned Jackson High School head coach Quinn Gray?
The most points the Jaguars have ever scored on opening day is 41, put up on the San Francisco 49ers in 1999. The most receiving yards on opening day were put up in the same game by former Jaguar wide receiver Jimmy Smith.
Care to guess who's had the most rushing yards on opening day in team history? Little man, James Stewart in 1998 against Chicago with 115 yards. That surprised me a bit, as I figured Fred Taylor or Jones-Drew would have easily bested that by now, but Taylor was notoriously a slow starter.
The Jaguars have never lost by more than a touchdown on opening day, and the most points allowed was 28 to Indianapolis in 2002. To contrast, the Jaguars largest margin of victory was 38 points in 1999 against San Francisco. Without looking it up, I'd have to guess that was the Steve Young-less 49ers?
All-time opening day the Jaguars are looking to push their mark to 10-6, where David Garrard will make his 33rd consecutive start at quarterback, the longest streak by a quarterback in franchise history.
It's set to be a hot day with a chance of thunderstorms (aka, September in Florida) and the Jaguars have played in 34 games with a temperature of 81 degrees or hotter, and lead the entire NFL with a .706 winning percentage in such games.
All-time, the Jaguars are 4-3 in the regular season against the Denver Broncos, winning the last two match-ups.

Some forecast say
the game will be very hot (88-91 degrees). Stellino wrote on his twitter page; that heat might catch up the Broncos in the 2nd half; and if the Jaguars will be in close range at halftime then they can win the game.
We will see if this theory will becoming true or not.

Steve Young did play as did TO and Jerry Rice

I remember this game well as it was when Young started to get agitated by the “Brunell is the next Steve Young” comments. This was right about the time the Jags owned this town. Couldn’t get a seat in Sneakers on Atlantic, everyone wanted to move to Queen’s Harbor, and I thought it was the coolest thing seeing Donovin Darius at Publix.
Makes you appreciate how stout we were when Damon Jones, Jason Craft, and Reggie Barlow played big roles in the game.
DAMN YOU JEFF FISHER!!!
Beasley
The Aaron Beasley INT return for a TD was a beauty. If I remember correctly, it was pretty rainy that day and Young got knocked out.

Steve Young and T.O were on that team
Um…isn’t this your job? I was at that game and I remember the blowout. I didn’t realize it was so close into the third quarter.

Coverage Map
I was looking at the weekly coverage map and our game is being shown to a large portion (geographically) of the country. I have some friends in South Dakota that are getting the game. With the Chiefs playing on MNF, we will be on in the entire midwest.
Geographically being the key word. Though two things surprise me. #1 Tally is actually showing the Jags game over the Dolphins and #2 Pensecola isn’t showing either the Jags or Dolphins

What are they showing in Pensecola?
A Saints game?
Time to get some news fans from the Midwest and extend our reach.
"HULU: An evil plot to destroy the world. Enjoy"
Real fans don’t need a reason.
"Milk the Cash Cow, Baby"
Pensacola
is New Orleans and Tampa country. Seeing as how NOLA is playing Thursday, I imagine they’ll get New England or Pittsburgh.
Totally off topic
Am I the only one visiting BCC every few hours just to check on the Comcast countdown thing?
I thought it was annoying at first
But now that’s it down to a few days, it’s definitely fun to check up on.

I have to admit....
I am jacked about the game tomorrow night. Even though it will have next to nothing do with us, the fact that there is going to be a game that counts is awesome. I can not wait until Sunday!
It was Gus Johnson...
who adored Quinn Gray. I remember the game I think you’re talking about. It was the last game of the 06 season in Kansas City. One of the few Jags games I get to watch here in midwest.
