Quote:But tonight I'm really impressed. In watching the pre-game show from my room (I live on a Navy base in the Bahamas), the fans are already going nuts. Deion Sanders and company are having to yell across the table to talk to each other, and it's still an hour before kickoff. Sanders has mentioned the fans multiple times, and Michael Irvin just said this team and it's fans remind him of the Cowboys team he was on as a rookie.


I've traveled to a lot of different Jaguar away games, including Seattle (the 41-0 laugher), and the junior varsity team we play tonight: the titans. I can honestly say that Jags fans are some of the loudest and most passionate in the league. For example, I was able to talk to my friend in Jax on a cell phone on the first third down of the game in Tenn. The Jags went on to win 41-9, but the fans never impressed me, and usually never got off their butts. Try talking on a cell-phone on a third down in Jacksonville; it's not possible.


I can't be with the fans at that stadium right now, but I'm extremely impressed with how strong the fan base is. This team needs to embrace that and use it, starting tonight.
