We had a fantastic time yesterday in Jax. The win just capped off the day because everything was better than I ever expected as far as the experience. I'm bad at taking pics... but I got a few worth sharing I think. Got a few cool things to share about the day too.
The first thing I want to say is just how nice everyone in Jax was... and I'm not talking about the crew from ROD. I'm talking about the Jag fans and everyone who worked in that stadium. I have been to a shit load of road games in my time, but I have never experienced the fan friendliness (I don't know if that's even a thing lol) that I experienced yesterday as a fan of a visiting team in any stadium EVER. It was almost like the Twilight Zone. @Ramrasta and I are still kinda in shock about it really.
A bunch of us freaks met up to tailgate at Hooters on The Landing around noon. It's always a blast to meet and talk in person with ROD members at these things. Here's a pic of some of our crew in Hooters... we had the table next to this too but I didn't take enough pics. I'll try and remember everyone's "stage name" here and point them out.
Going clockwise from the bottom left... Blue lensed sunglasses is me. Tongue out with the Shaka Brah sign is @Ramrasta , 99 Donald jersey just showing the back of his head is @RamsJunkie, his little girl with the bow and a full Ram cheerleader outfit is in front of him and his wife has the throwback Gurley jersey next to her, Behind and to the left of Ramsjunkie is @RAMNATION 's wife, RAMNATION is back there with the 28 Faulk jersey, @Dog is next to him in the blue Gurley, coming around to the guy in the white T-shirt is @Soul Surfer , next to him is @Dog 's girl (can't remember if they are married), and at the bottom right with his HORNS UP is @Ramhusker ... Oh, and if you look close you'll see Dog's wooden carved Ram in the middle of the table.
@Dog and @Ramhusker ... you can see the St Johns river behind them. It's still higher than hell from the hurricane.
DOG... and if you look behind him you'll see his girl obviously taking a pic of his ass.
RAMNATION and his wife. Ramrasta in the Youngblood.
Ramrasta got constant compliments for his Youngblood jersey throughout the entire day. Jag fans were telling him how much respect they had for it even after the game was over. So Cool... and Jack Youngblood so deserves it. He's from Florida... he's a more than a Legend here.
OK... things got crazy when we went into the stadium. I didn't realize that the seats I bought were in this special Club seating section for the visitors. It was totally badass. You go into a special entrance and enter an air conditioned palace with private bar and all kinds of different food venders and tables and GIANT TV and tables and bathrooms. Did I mention air conditioning? They even had kick ass Ram memorabilia for auction.
I'm not one to try and take pics of celebs or players,,, and I don't want to be disrespectful. But when it come to the ladies ... and our players have some SUPER HOT wives... I had a moment of weakness. I went over and asked these ladies if I COULD PLEASE take their picture.
Left to Right.... Mrs Ogletree, Mrs Jamon Brown and his daughter, Mrs Quinn. Just so you guys know... these beautiful ladies were so nice, and so tiny.
Here's a shot from our seats. right before the Anthem. They did a KICK ASS Anthem with a Navy Fly Over. Jax is a big time military town. They honored Vets and current Service members throughout the entire game. The fans cheered for the military there like the Jags scored a TD... it was really something else.
So I took this right after Greg Z kicked his last field goal. I never take selfies, but I just HAD to take this one because you guys wouldn't believe it if I didn't have proof.
Early in the game... the little ones sitting behind me just couldn't resist me for some reason. The little girl and boy both really liked me,,, or just wanted to mess with me LOL. She kept kicking or smacking me to get my attention I think,,, and the little guy was very sweet and was rubbing his hands across the Dickerson letters on my shoulders. Their mother kept apologizing,,, and I kept telling her it was just fine. They were the sweetest little children I have been around in a very long time.
Anyway,,, whenever we were on defense I could hear the little girl asking her Mom "where's Daddy" and stuff like "did Daddy get him?" Finally in around the 3rd quarter,,, I couldn't stand it anymore and I just had to ask Mom ... OK Who's Daddy?, I have to know!
She said Aaron... Aaron Donald.
Here's my oldest boy standing next to Aaron's daughter after the game. She got Quinn to come over and talk to them.
We got to talk to so many of the player's family it was almost unbelievable. They were all so very nice and appreciative. We kept getting to talk to so many of the Ram player's family members that it was almost like being out at the high school game talking to other parents of the team. So cool. I'm so glad that Ramrasta and I got to share that.
