Jagz vs Broncos! Tebow returns to the city!! The media has been negative all off season. Time to shut all the critics down. Anyone hitting up the Jags game?
Also article on Jacksonville.com talks about all the winning they have has since the new ballpark. Championships in 2001 2005 & 2009. How the team has lead the league in attendance since the Baseball Grounds opened. Maybe Jax is ready to move the Suns into triple A? What your take on upgrading?
Suns vs Mobile Bay Bears starts best of 5 series with a supreme home field advantage thanks to the double clinch. I have to say the fans are a big part of the reason for the wins. And the BJP was a good idea.
This should be a good weekend for Jax sports...three playoff games for Suns & the season opener for the Jags. Big City style baby.....
Whos going to be at the sports complex this weekend?
I would honestly be there if the skyway ran to the sports complex. I don't have tickets to any of the games, but I would go and tailgate if I could get there and back easily. I'm not going to pay to park and deal with the traffic, but if I could pay $.50 to ride there and $.50 to ride back I'd definitely do it.
A move to AAA would be nice but it is very complicated. Any team playing at the Baseball Grounds will be owned by the Bragans. Typically, a AAA franchise is close to the parent club. The Braves just moved their AAA franchise to Gwinnett, Ga within the last few years. New Orleans Zephyrs changed affiliations in 2009 from the Mets to Marlins. Unless the Rays are planning on leaving Durham, I don't see AAA baseball in our future.
I am going to try and make it out there tomorrow. I only made it to a few games this year, but Suns' games are always fun.
I don't think the parking is bad at 5 bucks, and if there are no other events going on, traffic isn't really a problem for Sun's games.
It would be cool if they became a AAA organization, but I am happy with the quality of the product.
Jagz are favored heavy this weekend! Although I would not put too much stock in one game. Just glad its not blacked out. Id like to see MetroJax cover a sporting event...interview fans, office staff...I always like the pics metro jax showcases. TU doesnt have to be only reports we get.

You have not been to any of the venues? Man Jax has some very nice stadiums/ballparks....I mean its not the Unicron @ Meadowwlands or Jerrys World but the Bank on da bank aint a bad venue. I understand about the Skyway though.
Series is now 1-1....Suns dropped the ball lastnight. Its a best of 3 now. Suns still have home field advantage.
Go Jagz for Sunday! # 9 needs to shine!

You could park almost anywhere downtown for free then walk...I suggest the burrito gallery/dos gatos area, but that's me... ;D
And so everyone knows, Dos Gatos will be open @ 3pm Sunday for some Jags afterparty fun... come hang. We'll have special event times for all home games as well. See you at the game! Go Jags!!!!
Sept-Oct is always the best time for sports! Especially for major cities with good baseball teams, plus NFL & college football crank up! The Fall!! My favorite time of year.
All the sports sites & sports talk have the Jagz taking the W....I hope it works out that way. Ill be keeping my eye on # 9.

What wrong with the buses? JTA seems to have this actually figured out based on my personal experience. It just shows Jax can do anything for football! We do have our priorities. ;D

Consistency seems to be an issue over the last couple years. Let's beat the teams we should beat - starting tomorrow!
I cant believe that comment by Captian Z. Theres no stadium easier to get in and out of then Jax. I never pay to park. I've park as far BOA. I look at it as a way to get a little exercise. If your not handicap, theres really no excuse. Also some people are wearing lies as well to support are 1st round pick. I am picking some up in the morning.

Game 4 of Suns-BayBears is at 7pm Sunday as well. They are playing Game 3 in Mobile right now...Suns is up 3-1. So the Sports Complex & Downtown is definate the place to be Sunday Sept 12. Jags @ 1pm Suns @ 7pm for Game 4.

Agreed. I've taken the shuttles before for games and they've worked fine.
Update!
Suns take game 3 in Mobile! Final 4-1
Now my Jags gotta win at the Bank!
#9 betta shine!!
Football time!
Sitting at the office just now saw the Broncos motorcade go by. Wish I wasn't stuck here at the office.
Sadly the airline business never stops.
Im ready for some football!!! Got my teal & black on! Lets get this W!
20 Minutes!!! I got my teal!! Got NFL live saved to favorites on my phone! Im ready baby!! I hope the Bank is rocking super hard right now. Is anyone at the game yet?
Stale game....someone put some points on the board!!!

texans look scary
Is this enough to erase the 4 other blackouts??
I am not sure. I am not exactly comfortable with this win but Ill take it.
OMG it was sooooo hot out there.
What a great game. The stadium was packed! it was hot as all get out but the rain the in the 4th quarter cooled things off! great win. Go Jags!!!
QuoteStale game....someone put some points on the board!!!
Stale game???? That was one of the BEST atmospheres Ive experienced at the stadium. Tebow was booed off the field in my section. And did you see how many freaking people went BACK into the stands after the rain/lightning delay???? It was SERIOUSLY hot today and yet the stadium was electric!!!! Hell, it was hotter than the Buffalo game in 07, and that game was so hot I broke up with my girlfriend at the time after the game b/c I was just so pissed at the temperature, lol.
One of the best regular season games Ive been to in Jacksonville... and Ive only missed 5 games in 16 years. ;)
I was posting live lol....When I made that post it was O - O lol....glad they eventually started scoring...I dont see the actually games just the play by play on NFL live on my phone.
How Did Garrard play....be honest did he earn his check?

Working on Sunday? Wow. Sounds communist!
(Although Im working from home today myself)
What the hell man....
I work some sundays Im no commy....
Garrard did well. If he was throwing against the Jags defense, he might have rivaled Tom Brady today, lol.
MSW seemed to get rattled after he got his clock cleaned in the 1st quarter... but Mike Thomas stepped his game up in Walker's absence. They ran quite a bit to the weakside with MJD. Either Justin Smiley is the best pulling guard in the league, or they saw something in the Denver defense that they could exploit on the weakside with some counters.
QuoteHow Did Garrard play....be honest did he earn his check?
Yeah - he definitely did.......They announced on TV that it was the hottest game that the Jags had ever played at the stadium (suffice to say it was the hottest in franchise history - home or away). In spite of that, Garrard threw three touchdown passes; no picks, & finished with his best passer rating to date - upwards of 140.
Just checked the Suns score...Buttom 7th Suns up 7-1...This series is almost a wrap. 2 more innings and the Suns should be in the Championship....
Game got more exciting in the third qtr. Over they played well a few drives stalled and the Jags secondary must get bettter. Whole team should improve as the season progress. I cant believe the people in full gator gear,,just dumb imo.

FULL gator gear???? Way to go jax....way to go.
People came from Gainesville to see Timmy. Why didnt they go see Emmit when he played in Dallas, why didnt they fill the Dallas stadium with orange. Alot players from Jax and Gainesville in the NFL,, wheres there support.
A friend of mine was saying that the "Broncogator" logo looks alot like the flaming dragon heroine ring logo from the movie Tropic Thunder.
"We now have Timmy Tebow and we want 50 mirrion dollahs..... You are a framing dragon"!!!!!
I had a guy sitting 3 seats down from me wearing a Tebow Bronco's Jersey with a Jaguars hat on. He caught soo much crap till the rain came, and he did not return
But anyways.. if we can tighten up our secondary.. The Jags could be better than I thought (around 8-8 to 9-7..maybe we can do 10 or 11?). We'll see how we do in San Diego..
My wife and I are going to the Jags/Chargers game, Will report back!!
Good luck out there in San Diego, I hope Rivers doesnt lite um up too bad.

Good question... Suns only had 851 people for a Championship clinching game 4...Dont know whether to blame the Suns, Jax media or Jax sports fans. You would think with the Jags having 62000 fans at there game, the Suns organization could pull at least 10,000 people for a game like that. 851 people is the lowest they have ever had since the Baseball Grounds opened. Lol I wonder about Jax sometimes when things like that happen. Oh well....
Game 3 of the Championship is Friday. Game 4 & 5 are in Jax also if nessasary.

I wouldnt be so quick to judge... Sunday was the hottest game in Jaguars history. Then it rained for 40 minutes. Being downtown eating/drinking/tailgating/game watching for 6-7 hours in that heat than soken wet with rain takes a lot out of you. I sweated out more beer and Crown than I consumed all day!
I was at the game Thursday night for referance.
Had a blast at the game in the Clubs. Great win!
