When Tim Tebow played for my high school I became a fan. When Tim Tebow became a Gator I was in Heaven. When Tim Tebow won National Championships and the Heisman Trophy I was exstatic! When Tim Tebow was not drafted by the Jaguars I became an instant Denver Broncos fan.
That brings me to September 12, 2010, the hottest football game ever recorded at Everbank Field, home of the Jacksonville Jaguars. When I saw that the Jaguars home opener was against the Broncos I had to get tickets. I called the Jaguars ticket office and was put on a wait list for group tickets.
I eagerly awaited the call when my name had come up to purchase tickets. I started to get worried when two weeks out I hadn't heard from the Jaguars and rumors of a sellout were running rampant all around town. I called and was next on the list! When they called I ordered tickets for me, Grant, and our friends Stephanie, Andrea and Jeff. I even got a discount since Grant's new employer became the new naming rights holder to the Jaguars stadium! Bonus!
Gameday arrived. I opted to wear teal and black to support the home team...even though I only went to support Tim Tebow and see him play in his first regular season NFL game. We got there early and tailgated all morning.
It was HOT! We walked to the stadium and found our seats.
We thought we had lucked out because our seats were in the shade...that only lasted 10 minutes...by the end of the game we had seen Tim play 2 plays and were all ready for a shower!!
Later that night I found out that it was the hottest game on record at Everbank Field! Brutal!
Way cool! You are a true Timmy T fan!
