Well, I’m not sure how to answer you. The support for the team is great, but you definitely have a conundrum on your hands. For me, the chant Duval has a significant meaning and goes beyond the Jaguars. Duval means home to me. It’s where I learned to fish and boat. It’s where i experienced my first love and my first heart break. It blasting Lynyrd Skynyrd, 38 special, and Molly Hatchet and everyone knows every word. It’s getting stuck in the mud off of Greenland road and i95 and the party that ensues to pull you out.
I was born and raised in the Mandarin area, finished High School and went straight into basic training with the US Coast Guard. When I graduated boot camp I received orders to south Florida for 3 years and then some how found my southern self in Rockland Maine after that (yikes!).
   For me, there is no greater feeling than driving home no matter from what direction and seeing that sign “Entering Duval County”.
Now I don’t know if that helps you at all, but at least you know how I (and plenty of others) feel. Duuuval! Isn’t just a chant, it’s our home. Go Jags!
