Jags (Denard) in London Oct 27

Submitted by canzior on

At some point over Denard's Michigan career I decided I would follow whichever team drafted him.  So I checked out the Jags schedule to see if they had any interesting road games, since J-ville is not exciting to me, especially after the Gator Bowl a couple years ago. 

However, I noticed they were playing SF in London on Oct 27.  There are plenty of reasons to go including: going to London in itself, although expensive is fun, an NFL game experience in another country and supporting Denard being the genesis of the trip ends up being an ancillary benefit.

I'm curious to know if anyone has planned on going or might be interested in taking a group trip.

I just returned from London recently. Great experience. There is actually an unofficial alumni group there, which has a Facebook page. It might be a good place to find some others who would enjoy going.

Can you imagine Denard on the futbol field? He'd be faster than everyone. Only problem is his shoe might go flying when he takes a shot.

I would love to go. I have family in Wales and love stopping in London everytime I travel there. I will say that you can do London at a reasonable cost if you lok hard enough. The tube is great in London as well. Of all the big cities I have been in the London tube is the best underground/subway system I have ever used. It would be a great trip and I hope anyone going enjoys the city as much as I do. Good luck!

Seriously, of all teams to play consistently in London, the NFL sends the Jags? They are probably the worst possible team to go there and represent American football. However, given that they are near the bottom in home attendance in the league, the NFL probably has the least to lose by taking their home games.

I think if the Jags do crappy this year and get the #1 pick and take Clowney the Jags could have 2 of the most exciting future players in the NFL for years to come.
