IN MOURNING

Need I say more?

Well I will, as usual I have a plan that will help the Offense, if they will listen to me.

Hopefully the OC will take my advise, that is if he reads the comments on the Jaguars.com

I have never thought of M. Lewis as a good tight end, maybe he is a good blocker but as a receiver he can't control his body. He's not able to tour and twist his body.

Therefor I would change him to full back where he could pass block and lead the blocks for our tail backs.

I have the solutions, but don't come crying to me if the coaching staff can not think outside the box.

If Del Rio could have thought outside the box we would have had a championship with David Garrad. Don't believe for a moment that the coaches know more than me or a lot of long time fans.

BLOWN AWAY!

I have been so blown away by the changes made to the Jaguars organization. Almost unbelievable. So many things that I have complained about on these pages are now coming about. Marketing, Branding, Feeding the Fans with news and videos etc. It's like Christmas to me.

If you are not excited about the changes and not excited to be part of A REAL NFL TEAM, then I guess you are not alive and most certainly not proud of what this organization is doing for this city.

Swallow your pride and your lazy backwoods life style and get with the winners Jacksonville and the Jaguars.

At this point all I can say is Thanks Mr. Kahn and it's such a pleasure to be a small part (season ticket holder) of such an up and coming progressive organization that will make us all proud to live in JAX.

I feel like I no longer have to beat the drum and try to urge people to come to games or convince owner-ship of changes needed to be a success. Mr. Kahn can do with out my help, and this humble site is not even close to having the class that the Jags now have.

FIELD PASS SUNDAY DEC. 22



What a day for football, it felt like summer. Actually it was a little too hot for football. All in all I guess I would rather be getting a tan than frostbitte.

My football buddy Sue Warren, owner of Sue's Cafe on Beach Blvd, near Southside, got me a field pass from a friend. It was good to be on the field with all the players and reporters etc. I met Sue years ago when she worked for the Cafe she now owns. She is a good friend of our whole family. When it appeared that I would not be able to drive Sue volunteered to pick me up and drive to and from the games. Thanks Sue.


One of the first observations I made from being on the field is the field now appears to be really big and the players are giants. When viewing from the stands the field and players look sort of small. Beleive me I felt like I was walking in the Land of Giants.

The first celebraty (locally that is) I saw was Jeff Lageman and sports announcer for Fox News channel 30 Brent Martineau.
. I made the decesion then to just talk to them instead of taking their photo. Beside Jeff was behind the net by the crossbar. I told him how I think he is really doing good in his online programs etc.
Later I got a chance to see Brent Martineau interviewing John Osher of the O-Zone head writer for Jaguars.com.  I also took this time to shake his hand and tell him what a good job he is doing. I love all the new media on the web site. Like I said before us fans need to be fed and Jaguars.com is now doing it.

While standing in line waiting for the players to enter the field I accidently caught Shad Kahn on camera. Look fast he's at the very start of the video. Later he came back the same way and I got to shake his hamd and tell him he is doing good for us and Jacksonville. This time it was no accident I got his picture (at least from the chin down)  but I was more interested in looking him in the eye and shaking his hand. 
You know I have been a photographer since way back in the Navy but these new fangled camera phones I'm not use to, at least that's my excuse. 
Here is the O Line warm up  from the field they look like GIANTS. 
The man of the hours. Meester. 

The north end zone MY HOME today and next year. 

and the game?  oh yes.....WE LOST AGAIN.

OH WHAT A NIGHT

Oh what a night it was, it really was!
Thursday Night Football and it brought back memories of when the Jags were a good team.
The most enjoyable game for quiet some time.

As well as all this and the Jags playing a great game.
I really had a good time. I also got to see some good friends that I use to sit behind for years. We always had a good time no matter what. They are nice people and I consider them friends and try to visit them every game. 
This is Kevin and Gara (pronounced like Sara)


and some of the other folks that sit with them, who I also remember fondly.

These folks and a lot of others from section 122 are another reason I go to the games. It's a game but it's also a social events for some of us. 

NEWS FLASH   JUST IN !!!!!

Ever the business man and progressive thinker (that be me)
Has come up with yet another earth shaking idea.  
You know how you hate to carry stuff around the stadium while trying to just enjoy getting samples and people watching? Well Mr. Kahn who reads this blog.....You think he gets all these great ideas by himself?  
Season ticket holders will have the first chance to add a LOCKER along with you ticket price and parking. I think somewhere around $10 per game or $100 per season.

Think of it no more worry about rain or cold or if you need sunscreen etc. Why think of it you could even keep your bathing suit in the locker.  Remember  the SWIMMING POOL IS COMING! 

I will let Mr. Kahn think it was his idea, but we all know who is the real brains behind this franchise. 

Here's how the lockers will look in some of the empty spots in the concourse. 
APPLAUSE NOW.......THANK YOU

ENOUGH!

       I HAVE
SEEN ENOUGH
HEARD ENOUGH
HOPED ENOUGH
BEEN INSULTED AND EMBARRASSED ENOUGH.

THIS JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS TEAM DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH TALENT, TEAM WORK, TOGETHERNESS, SKILL AND WHAT EVER ELSE IT TAKES TO BE COMPETITIVE.  


There is no answers, plans schemes or changes that could make this into an NFL team. Keep trying? What for ? They are losers and will be that......A JAGUAR CAN'T CHANGE IT'S SPOTS ...You know?

The only recourse I have like so many before me is to NOT RENEW my tickets. I hate to do this because i have been a season ticket holder for 13 years now. I guess my only option now is to not watch any of the coach or player interviews or watch anymore games on TV.  I will still go to the home games only so I can make my verbal comments heard by the actually players.  "Hey you guys stink"  Is this being a bad fan?  I don't think so. Is anyone else telling them they stink....no the coaches won't do it so it's left to me to let them know that THEY STINK  and

ARE WE THE DOLLAR STORE OF THE NFL?


NO PHOTOS, SOUNDS OR ANY OTHER DETAILS OF THE JAGUARS LOSS TO SAN DIEGO WILL BE SHOWN IN THIS POSTING....THEY ARE TOO GRUESOME.

Well what do we do now Ollie?  No one has an idea.  Remember how easy it was to blame the QB or the Head Coach, or even the owner?  Who in the heck do you blame with this kind of failure?  The fans I guess.

Well I'm not going to blame the fans, because if you are one (really) then you know how loyal we have been. We have been faithful to show up rain or shine and try hard to stay positive. We have been left down just too much in the past years.  I feel that I should get a rebate or something to show for my loyal attendance, Not me alone but all the others that come every Sunday; you know who you are. 

The Northwest corner and End zone is where we rule. Ask any player or anyone else in the stadium. We Are the Jaguars. This Sunday the security people tried to eject one of our own and were told to leave. We will police our own country thank you very much.

One of the biggest complains that comes from US is season ticket holders selling their tickets on NFL or some place and not attending them selves. These seats always end up in the enemy's hands and this causes a lot of frustration.  What are we the Dollar Store of the NFL. Shame on Jacksonville spoiled residents. You have no idea how to support your hometown team. 

I know that Mr. Kahn has said he wants to make this the hottest ticket in the NFL and that's fine but  , I would rather have it the hardest ticket in the NFL to purchase because the home town folks always fill the stadium.  Wouldn't that be grand?  

The largest scoreboard in the World and swimming pools etc. will not fill this stadium like it should be filled.  A circus is more than just the tent.  There has to be attractions in the center ring...which is the field. What we have seen in the past years is not an attraction but a depressing sideshow that promise but does not deliver. 

Come to the Side Show get free beer, see girls with short pants parading around. Sign up for prizes and get free samples. Get t-shirts, get a photo taken with cheerleaders. Free sun glasses , free fans, free sun screen. Come one come all the greatest show on..........what.  Once the pregame sideshows and free samples are over so is the experince.  Just give me a good game that leaves you feeling that it was played by professionals with emotion and pride.
Is that too much to ask? 
One of these days I will go to the sideshow and a game will break out.....you think so?

NUTS & BOLTS

Gus Bradley is a "nuts & bolts" kind of guy and exactly what a auto parts owner would hire.  I really like Gus and he is just that a plain and simple approach to managing a factory or a team. My kind of "Blue Collar" guy who doesn't come up with gimmicks or far off motivational mubble jubble.

Have you watched or listened to any or his news conferences? If not you are missing something new and fresh in this area or coach speak.  He is very aware of every moving part every machine and it's condition. Whether it's a lathe, band saw or drill press he knows it's capabilities and how to get it to work in the production system.  It's all positive and no one gets thrown under the bus.

I predict that Gus will go on to be one of the best and most loved coaches in our fair city of Jacksonville Florida. He has a great mind for details and this will catch on with the players.

GO JAGS!

WHAT ELSE ARE THEY NOT TELLING US?

I heard thru Facebook and telephone conversations with people in the Midwest and even in the northeast about the Jags offering free beer to get people to come to the game. Why didn't I and my friends who are season ticket holders ever hear about this? Or better yet why don't they offer something like this to us who have been royal fans and suffered for years?

What else are they not telling us?
Shad Kahn is really the the National Bo man?

Gus Bradley is actually Captain Picard ?

Is Gabbert and the San Diego Chicken one and the same? 
Bubba Burgers are being hand made by this man?
Are they going to reveal their "Offensive Weapon" ?
comments brought to you by "NO FRY BOWL"  a movement by fans who have been treated for heat stroke because of attending 1 o'clock games in the south during Aug, Sept. and Oct.  Our motto is 
"Don't fry me Bro"

Please call the NFL and have them change to schedules so no 1 o'clock games will be scheduled in the south until November. This could save your life.

THE PLAY BY PLAY REPORT

I had a lot of good responses to my new helmet design but I don't think that putting great fear into our opponents will help. All the team of the NFL have no fear of our offense and little respect for our  defense.

OK so I was going to give you the play by play of the game.
I bought some 50/50 tickets for charity and then got my photo taken and got a free bottle opener and a towel and a t-shirt. This was the fun part in the south end of the stadium.

Then a ride on the escalator to the Bud Light Zone for a pulled pork sandwich with BBQ baked beans. The baked beans are the best I have ever tasted.

There was a great breeze in the stadium as we walked to our seats in the North End Zone. We were early as usual and sat in the sun enjoying the pre-game stuff.

The game started and everyone was hopeful and full of good cheer and just knowing something good was going to happen today.

By the second quarter the breeze stopped and I started to fry to a nice crispy gold and I decided I should go up and get some shade and another water. I looked around for a place to sit and thought the steps going out looked like a good place. I went a bought some french fries and took my water and sat on the cool concrete steps and found that nice breeze again that was missing from the fry bowl.

I sat and ate half my french fries and then decided it must be half time and I should go back. I asked a woman coming up from the bowl and asked if I had missed anything and she said NO. On my way back down to my seat I stopped and talked to a couple of friends I use to sit near.

I sat down and half time was just over and I found that Sue my friend discovered some drunk lady behind us had stolen our bag of shirts, free sun glasses etc. The cops threw her out. I think she was on drugs. So I did miss something after all. Well things went south in a hurry as they usually do on Jax so with about 5 minutes to go in the third quarter we left to come home. 

The traffic that was suppose to be had, was actually no problem at all. I got home in time to take a nice nap. 

THE GAME?    OH  yes I almost forgot we lost again  
Me and my friend Sue Warren of "Sue's Cafe"

IT IS WHAT IT IS !

      

     I like this phrase and I use it a lot and yesterday I used it to tell myself the Jaguars "are what they are."  As fans we are usually optimistic at the beginning of the season and then after the first game we suddenly realize "They aren't who we thought they were."   

Who would've thought that the big problem area would be the Offensive Line?  If anyone thought so they sure didnt' say anything, in fact everyone thought that was our strong point.....ooops. 

Offensive Coordinator  has his work cut out for him.  I could suggest a little more imagination in play calling. To slow the pass rush I would go with 5 receivers from the shotgun and spread the field. I don't care if we only have 5 yards per catch, but at least we won't go 3 and out. The normal scheme is not working and needs more practice, in the mean while it would be nice to control the ball a little bit to give out defense a rest.

Well I guess we have now figured out that the Jaguar Team "Is what it is. All that is left to find out is....
     
p.s.   I like Henne's play as the game progressed. He has more pocket awareness then Go Go Gabbert. He was stepping up into the pocket and making plays. Good job Henne,

ANOTHER 2 AMD 14 SEASON

ARE YOU READY FOR ANOTHER 2 AND 14 SEASON?

Well you better be, because that is what I predict for this team. I can't see anything better than this record. The two games we win will be won by the Defense.

I predict that Go Go and Gus Gus will part ways and we may end the season with Ricky Bob Boy as QB. I predict that Hen Hen will be injured also and be lost for the last 5 games. 

There will also be a brief try with D Rob as QB which will cause some flaces but we will still lose. 

Kahn Kahn will have to shave off his Trade Mark mustache because of a bet he makes while in London. Dave Dave will talk privately with Tim Tim but it only is a rumor. 

There will be more fights in the stands, but not with opposing fans but between Jag fans who have decided to take out there frustrations with the person in front of them for cheering too much. What the .... are you cheering for? Can't you see it's over.

Kahn Kahn will contact Pa Pa John to see if free pizzas for everyone will help to appease the fans. There will be a new slogan formed to encourage fans. "Come and see some of the best teams in the NFL play at Everbank." 

For a couple of home games the Roar Roar will join the Drum Drum Corps and do a Honky Tonk dance routine that Will cause an arrest of all the young ladies by the Decency Authority of Jacksonville. 

Well maybe it won't be such a bad home stand after all even if we lose all home games.

WHAT HAVE WE BOUGHT INTO?

Have you ever seen the air go out of a balloon so fast as it did yesterday?  It was unbelievable. We got a blocked punt in the first series and it looked like we were going to kick some butt. Then Go Go Gabbert came on the scene and it was down hill from there. Besides that the 2 points scored was the only score we had. I think we only had about 2 first downs.  So what have we bought into? A Lemon an Edsel(for you who are old enough to remember what an Edsel was. It is still to be determined what we are going to get.

There is one thing that NOBODY has bought into and that is the selling of Gabbert. I call him GO GO Gabbert because I wish he would go some where and try a different business. He is a thumb sucking cry baby that actually has as much guts as a little girl. Oh poor baby hurt himself. Go Go get out of here. Do really know of anyone who really thinks this guy is even a third stringer?  I'm not buying thank you very much. Get his eyes checked to see if he is color blind or maybe he keeps them closed when the pass rush comes. He use to cower so not maybe he shuts his eyes.

Everyone at the game was wishing it was 2014 and we had the swimming pool in the north end zone. It was murder as we knew it would be in the toaster bowl. I think I could smell flesh burning. I spent the whole second quarter under the fans and on the cold seats in the3 concourse by the firs aid station. A lot of people did the same. We were not missing anything on the field. Why the NFL doesn't do something about the 1o'clock games being played in the south is beyond me. There should only be 4 o'clock games or night games played in the deep south cities without domes. This makes sense to me. Think about the reverse of this, wouldn't it be better to play 1o'clock games in Green Bay and NY when the cold temp would be a little better than at 4 o'clock?  I guess it doesn't make sense because they go by another sense and that is market shares etc. We can only hope that someone gets the bright idea of changing times according to weather patterns. Huh?

OK now for the food vendors. Get real! You also had the preseason to get ready and you still can't do it right. What the heck happened to the BIG WATER bottles. Now all you can buy is the small ones. Not smart. Salted French Fries are a second half treat for me. I think the salt helps to keep me hydrated, but @ $5 I think it comes out to a little under 50 cents per fry. I was going to count them but I put ketchup on them before I got the idea. Best bet although more expensive is the bar in the Bud Lite Zone. Pulled Ck or Pork with baked beans...really good. Last year they had Ruben and I hope they bring that back.

I still have fun but I could have more fun on metal bleachers and cold sandwich if the Team was winning. Heck I would even sit on the grass if the team was playing good. So much for GAME DAY experience.

WE ARE!

TAKING THE PULSE

GUS BRADLEY has his finger on the pulse of the Jaguars along with Dave Caldwell and it shows in every interview.
I really like this guy. He speaks "coach speak" like no other coach I have heard before. Gus seems to know every player really well, well enough to discuss it openly. 
There is no politician that I can see in this man at all. He is a breath of fresh air. With the first loss we will all see how he changes if he does. I don't think he will change and get defensive like so many coaches. I believe that he will simply state what went wrong and why even if it reflects on the coaching. 
I've said it before and I believe it is not "business as usual" of defending players and circumstances but calling what it is and then finding other players  or coaches to perform better. 
For example the signing of 7 of the waver wire after the 53 was thought to be intact. This really shows attention to detail and going after something a grade higher than what you settled on. Maybe there is only a .10 faster speed or a .30 more experience, whatever this was a truly BOLD move and speaks volumes for the desire to get better. 

I'll be there to lead the team out.....sort of.... when we open with KC, which by the way should be an interesting game seeing that both had bad seasons last year and have new coaches etc. 

GO JAGS

KEEP YOUR EYE ON #14


During the game I often like to watch one player at times. I think you should all watch Justin Blackmon to see just how awesome he is as a receiver. He catches balls that not very many others can even come close to. He has an uncanny ability to reach back around a defender and get the ball. If it is anywhere near him he's got it.



We have never had a receiver like this. NEVER I say, and that includes Jimmy Smith who was very very good. So what is better than very very good? Great is what I believe he is and will continue for a long time.

GABBERT METER SETS NEW HIGH MARK

I think that everyone was pleased with Blaine's performance if not a little surprised too.  I was surprised and now have hopes of him making it.  Still too early to think that way? Maybe but I have found out a few things while watching Gabbert for a few years now.

If Gabbert was a two sport guy in college it must have been football and baseball. Right?  I say this because he doesn't know how to juke anyone,as you do in basketball in order to get a pass or a shot off. So I've come up with a new training regiment for Blaine. 

The first other sport we are going have him practice twice a week is Boxing "The Sweet Science" Just like a guard in basketball you have to learn to bob and weave. This is pocket awareness that he needs. Doing this while keeping his eyes on the target or targets. 

Here is Blaine learning from Gus.

Now combine this with a couple of hours per week playing basketball with his teammates and Blaine playing the guard position trying to feed the guys the ball. 
Blaine you see this move? This will keep your arm from being hit and prevent you from hitting your thumb. PLAY BALL.  
P.S.  I really like what I saw last night and I love the tempo they played at.  GO JAGS  keep up the good work.

THE THINGS I DO ...

Oh the things I do to help the Jaguars and Shad Kahn. I must admit that I am quite good at ideas, especially if I don't have to pay to implement them. For instance it was my idea to get the largest scoreboards in the world.

I cam up with several designs for helmets and uniforms. I advised to change the Public Address announcer and give more benefits to the season ticket owners.

I begged Wayne Weaver to BRAND and MARKET  this team and Jacksonville. Mr. Kahn took my advise to his credit on a lot of these items so I know that he is an ardent reader of this blog.

I now offer a FANTASTIC idea to put Jacksonville and the Jaguars on the ELITE marketing chances of the century , maybe of all times. We will have to get NFL approval but let it be known that it all happened first right here in JACKSONVILLE WITH THE JAGUARS FOOTBALL TEAM. In recent years the NFL has sanctioned making ladies form fitting jersey shirts which was a big hit.

Now for the first time ever I announce my idea to make JERSEY POLO'S . THE ULTIMATE IN MEN'S LEISURE WEAR FOR GOLF AND GAME DAY.

It's all quite simple. All you have to do is add a color and a couple of buttons to the jersey design and you have it. In the past they have tried to achieve this in a t-shirt design and came close. But for the sophisticated in-crowd of Jacksonville' culture men don't wear t-shits in public so now for the cultural elite of the south men can wear their colors without feeling like some hick town person of the north. We are civilized here you know we even have a Symphony Orchestra.
Polo that almost made the grade.




Now just add a collar please .

Polo should be made of " PERFORMANCE " material for the hot days of Jacksonville and not be heavy like a regular jersey.

OK now my brain is really tired I think I need another Cruise on Mr. Kahn's yacht.  Oh the things I do for this organization and I don't even get free tickets.

THE OL' ONE TWO PUNCH FOLLOWED BY A COMBINATION.

FIRST A RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE TO FLATTEN YOUR NOSE BY DRREEWWW. 

FOLLOWED BY A LEFT HOOK FROM THE OUTSIDE BY DDDDD ROB






AND THEN TO FINISH THE GUY YOU THROW ONE MORE COMBINATION PUNCH OF SANDERS AND SHORTS AND THE GUYS IS DOWN FOR THE COUNT.

GO JAGUARS 

  KO THE JETS.

LONG SUFFERING

Job's wife tells Job "Why don't you just stay home and watch the game on TV?"

Now we know we are long suffering fans but there is no way we can compare our selves to Job of the Bible. That man really suffered and yet would not curse God and die as his wife suggested. BTW this is probably my favorite book in the Bible. I just love the conversations between Job and God.

We may ask ourselves questions like "How many years do I have to keep supporting this team by buying season tickets?" or we may say why doesn't others step up and support this team, what kind of fans do we have in JAX anyway? I often ask myself how long must I sit here in my seat and be abused by the opposing teams fans in my own stadium? If people of the city would buy tickets it would keep out all these fans that are breaking my spirit.

Shad Kahn has said he is going to make this the hottest ticket around. I sure hope so but right now I want it to be the hottest ticket for Jag fans, not Colts or Dolphins etc. The problem with the other teams fans now is they live here in Jax and maybe have never been in Miami or Indianapolis.

Can't some of you folks buy tickets and come and cheer for the Jags, so I don't have to listen to the surrounding blowhards.

Shad Kahn has put everything into place to make it a great experience except for the players and of course I hope that is to come. I start every year optimistic and try my hardest to stay that way.  When our time comes and it will I hope that you will be able to buy a season ticket and enjoy our success. Don't wait too long I have seen teams turn around quickly and I wouldn't want you to miss all the fun of WINNING!

BTW  I think I will change the format and design of this blog to better match the new sleeker and faster Jaguars. Speed of play and players are going to kill opponents.

D ROB !

OK so I'm ready to buy a D -ROB Jersey and why not? Any body who could play QB at Michigan has to have a lot on the ball. Get ready to heat the call for D-Rob it is coming. To me he and Ace Sanders showed a lot of hope for the future.
From my seat in the North End Zone it is really hard to analyze the play of the team. If you went on the sounds of the crowd it was dismal and you could feel the air going out of their balloons by half time. Did the players and coaches notice?  I heard calls for Del Rio and for Mike Mularkey. This was just out of pure frustration.

I got up early this am and watched the game on that Network I hate.  Actually the team didn't play all that bad and Miami just got a lot of lucky breaks. I did notice some things that kind of bothered me. You know how a lot of QB's step up into the pocket to make a throw? Well it seemed to me that when Gabbert had a chance to do that he didn't. I kind of wonder why not. On one play at defensive player just barely touched his arm and he seemed to hurry the throw a little. I saw that he had room to step up and make a better no hurried play. I really think that he will never have that pocket presence that so many QB's have.

I also noticed that it didn't seem like Gabbert was getting the plays in fast enough. I signalled such a number or times. I did notice that there was an effort to quicken up the play from scrimmage. I guess this is a work in progress. Hene seened to release the ball faster as he did last year and he runs a better 2 minute offense than Blaine.

At this point I see a 6 and 9 season. Maybe after the next game I will change this estimate.

BTW did anyone think "Hey this is neat there is Hene a QB from Michigan handing off the ball to D-Rob who was also a QB at Michigan"  Remember folks I'm a Buckeye but by being a fan I have the up most respect for the Maze and Blue.

Saturday Night Scrimmage



Well I'm back and so are the Jaguars. I was surprised at the crowd that showed up for the event. So were the stadium folks and of course the food vendors. More on that later.

The fans here are hungry for football. Good hard playing football. Mr. Kahn knows that. I believe he doesn't just go into a deal hoping to make money, but knowing he will make money and a difference. I give him the credit for such a good turn out of fans last night. His vision and believability is catching.

I notice that Head Coach Bradley dropped a nickname on Dannard Robinson, and I like it and I bet it catches on. D Rob.  OK!  Ace Sanders must be the real thing to keep making flashes like he does.

The only down side was the food vendors and stadium personal. Well meaning folks with up beat spirits but never prepared. The vendors in the South End Zone where almost everyone gathers before the game were totally overwhelmed with food orders. It was like a Mc Donads at lunch time except 100 times worse. One reason was the Bud Lite Zone was closed for a Gator Bowl Party or sorts. Bad decision to close the escalators. This crowd was early and hungry.  I felt bad for the workers even though I made them take back my fish and chips and give me a burger. It smelled like fish but a fish that had been lying on the shore for a week. This is not like Sea Best who are great folks and have good products. Even though it may be awhile before I order fish and chips again. Oh yeas and they didn't have Malt Vinegar?????.

Get rid of the picture you have of JAX as a brown bagging town or hick country folks. We love our Football and we love our Food. No one Carry's a lunch bag here. Maybe in NY or D.C. or Chicago they take some Lite meal to work and microwave it but not here. Why even kids here order pulled pork or a jumbo Hot Dog.

Warning to all food vendors at Everbank Field! Don't be understaffed or ill prepared for Friday Night. Fans will be wanting some Dolphin to eat.
