Heard on the news tonight that the Denver game will be on local TV.  I will wear teal as I sit in my comfy chair and watch the game!

I'm going to be horrified if Tim Tebow gets the loudest reaction of the afternoon.

What would he get a reaction for? He won't be announced with their starters.  And unless they have some short yardage plays drawn up for him, he probably won't be in the game.

Wear teal to the game?  No problem now that my Reggie Nelson jersey is obsolete. ;)

A rally at the Town Center??? Why not the Landing or the Everbank Field parking lot?

I agree, that's absurd.  Why have a rally 20 miles from the Stadium?  It's not like we lack the facilities for it downtown.

As of right now, Tebow is listed as the 3rd QB.  For those not familiar with NFL 3rd String QB rules.. They are designated the "Emergency QB," and once the 3rd QB enters the game, the other 2 QBs cannot come back in.

In other words, if Tebow is 3rd string QB, he's not coming in.

It says it is near Dick's Sporting Goods. Maybe they are sponsoring the event.

Actually, it looks like Dick's Sporting Goods is a national sponsor for the Back to Football Friday campaign with the United Way. Here is the website. Make sure all you Jaguar fans pledge to wear Jags gear to work or school on Friday. We are currently in last for participation. :(

Actually 3rd string QB and Emergency QB are not the same thing.  Each team has to designate 5 players as inactive for each game and they can also designate and Emergency QB who can only play in the first 3 quarters if the 1st and 2nd string QB's leave the game and do not return.  It's a way to have 49 players dressed and available.  If Tebow is listed as inactive he can't play at all.  If he is left active he can play in any capacity.

I was wondering the same thing when I read the press release. It does though make a little more sense if Dicks Sporting Goods is sponsoring the event.

Whether he plays, or is even announced, you know they'll be showing him on the jumbotrons. With how Gator crazy this city is, I fear a spontaneous "We Want Te-bow!" chant breaking out. I could think of nothing worse.

Also, I actually kind of like the idea of a Jags rally at the Town Center.

I know it's not the favorite place of many here, but it has without question become a real epicenter here in Jacksonville. It might be further than the Landing, but it is certainly more relevant in 2010. When we're talking an 800 square mile city, I really like the idea of holding rallies at various locations around Jacksonville. The Town Center. The beaches. Even Mandarin or Orange Park. It's great to involve people who wouldn't necessarily be willing or able to make the drive all the way downtown for a rally.

I would think they would make an effort to not show him on the jumbotron.
