Last night, we had one of the biggest Jacksonville Jaguars home games in many years. The Indianapolis Colts came to Jacksonville for a Thursday Night game – and boy did it rock! So why am I talking about the NFL? Well for one, Tim Tebow will be in the NFL next year and we’ll be continuing coverage of Tim through his career at that level. And two, Tim is from Jacksonville and the entire city loves him.
Following a late fourth quarter interception by David Garrard – that sealed the loss for the Jags – fans in my section started chanting “Tebow … Tebow … Tebow.” There is a large contingency of fans in Jacksonville that want to see Timmy in teal and black. The Jaguars need a quarterback and they need a hometown hero. Tim’s been to a few Jag games in recent years and the fans just erupt when they announce his name.
Some fans are even preparing themselves before the NFL Draft by ordering custom Jaguars jerseys with Tebow on back. No joke – you will see several of these at the stadium on any given Jag game.
We’ll get more into NFL talk as the Draft approached – I just wanted to let you know about the chanting after the game last night.
Man, I can’t imagine college football without Tim Tebow…I love football as a whole, but college is just so much better than pro to me! I’m really going to miss Timmy!! And I can’t believe he’s graduating tomorrow! This season has gone by so fast, GO GATORS!!!!!!
