One of the things that I found interesting was Khan’s statement that if you bring a child to a game this year, the child’s ticket is half price. This is one of the things he is going to do to build the future fan base of the Jaguars.

You know he’s the best mascot in the business, so let’s get him recognized for it.

Lamping will be in charge of all non-football facets of the Jaguars, and will report directly to owner Shahid Khan.

Lamping will leave his position as President and Chief Executive Officer of MetLife Stadium, home of the New York Jets and New York Giants, for his new position with the Jaguars, which starts February 27.

Khan calls the hiring of Lamping “a very important and exciting development in the rebirth of the Jacksonville Jaguars.”

Lamping brings a wealth of experience to the Jaguars. The St. Louis native spent 12 years with Anheuser-Busch, where he served in many roles, including brand management and five years as the group director of sports marketing.

Lamping also served as president of the St.Louis Cardinals from 1994-2008, where he was responsible for business and facility operations. He left the Cardinals to join the MetLife Stadium Group in 2008.

Khan has sid many times since taking ownership of the team that he intends to market the Jaguars not only locally, but nationally and internationally. It appears that Lamping will play a large role in those marketing efforts.

“The Jacksonville Jaguars have vast potential and I’m honored that Shad Khan is asking me to play a leadership role in reaching that potential,” Lamping said. “We have the opportunity to revitalize the franchise, and build something special, memorable and hopefully historic for the league, our partners and especially Jaguars fans, who will be central to our mission.”

According to this article by Pro Football Talk, under Article 13, Section C(b)(v), teams can carry over the extra cap room by submitting written notice, signed by the owner of the team, to the league office no later than 14 days before the start of the next league year. Teams can choose whether or not they want to carry over any space, and can choose to carry over the full amount, or any portion of the amount.

This could potentially leave the Jaguars with a ton of money to spend in 2012 on free agency, new deals for players on the roster, and the draft. At last check, the Jaguars had nearly $32 million remaining from 2011 that could, in theory, be rolled over to 2012.

It remains to be seen how much, if any, of that money the Jaguars will choose to carry over, but the potential is there for them to become big spenders in 2012.

The event is free and open to the public. The festivities take place in the West Touchdown Club at EverBank Field. Gates open at 5:00 p.m., at which time fans can take a behind the scenes self-guided tour of the facilities, including the locker room and weight room.

The ROAR of the Jaguars will be there, as well as Jaguars alumni who will be signing autographs prior to the program.

The program begins at 6:30 p.m. Scheduled speakers include Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown, Jaguars head coach Mike Mularkey, and Team Teal Commissioner Tony Boselli, who is expected to make an important announcement.

Parking for the event is free in Lots J, M, and N on the west side of the stadium.

In addition to his Player of the Year honors, Jones-Drew was also named Running Back of the Year for the second consecutive year.

The 30th Annual Player of the Year Awards took place Friday, February 3, in Indianapolis. Other players honored we Matt Stafford, Hakeem Nicks, Chris Long, Aldon Smith, Brent Grimes, and Randall Cunningham.

Prince had spent the last two seasons as assistant offensive line coach with the Indianapolis Colts.

Prior to joining the NFL ranks, Prince spent 18 years coaching at the collegiate level, including a stint as offensive coordinator at the University of Virginia, and, most notably, as head coach at Kansas State from 2006-2008.

You can now add fullback Greg Jones to that list.

Jones is starting the “Lead Block Foundation,” which is going to have programs in Jacksonville and in Jones’ hometown of Beaufort, SC.

The foundation is just getting started, but you can head over to Facebook and “like” them to keep track of what’s going on as they are getting the foundation of the ground.
