The first time I saw Fred live was before I lived in Jax or was even a Jags fan. I scored some free tickets to a Ravens- Jags game November 1, 1998. Brunell and Smith hooked up midway through the first to give the Jags a 7 point lead. Baltimore clawed back to tie it at 7 with just under 2 minutes to go in the 1st. On the first play of the next drive Fred took a short pass from Brunell 78 yards for the score, juking future HOFer Rod Woodson out of his shoes in the process. Even from my garbage seats I could see he was playing at a different level than the other guys on the field. The floodgates opened shortly after that as Fred racked up roughly 80 more yards on the ground and scored again. By halftime the score was 42-13 and the game was completely out of hand. Fans in the stands, disgusted with the inabilty of Roosevelt Potts to get anything going on the ground cheered wildly as unheralded RB Priest Holmes came into the game in mop up time.
Only a chump boos the home team!
