rams80 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I have been informed that the Indiana Hoosiers have won the College Cup this season, which I am told is a biggish deal. It is their 8th overall, and they won as a national 16 seed. I will not claim to be a lifelong fan of the soccer Hoosiers (since that would be a lie) but still, well done. It is nice to see Indiana again triumph at the other sport they are really good at.

Kevin W. Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Hey, if it's your school, there's no rule saying you can't celebrate when they win a national championship, even if it's not a particular favorite sport of theirs. Enjoy it.

Also, you know, Jax does have an attendance record or two with US soccer.Are you referring to the U.S. - Scotland friendly because that's the only USMNT match I can think of that played in Jacksonville?Also, I assume if current trends hold with MLS plucking Tier 2 Clubs for expansion (excluding NYC #2), then FC JAX Destroyers better start building up their organization and fan base in order to warrant consideration from the League as a future club.

raysox Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I'm excited that so many teams now want a MLS team. The sport is growing. I just don't see Jacksonville as a top option immediately, but hey, down the road when the league is expanding I'd be all for it.As long as Tampa, Miami, and Orlando have their team too @MichaelDanger19Â | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island_Style Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I am. Jax owned the record for the longest time when Germany came to town. Tampa got it for a little bit but then Jax crushed their record. Almost doubling it. I know you want to scoff at it without doing an ounce of research. You sound like NFL fans in the early 90's. Don't be so quick to dismiss. Soccer and Lacrosse is actually pretty big here. The sport is growing. I just don't see Jacksonville as a top option immediately, but hey, down the road when the league is expanding I'd be all for it.The Mayor agrees with you.

I'm not sure how that qualifies as a "record"?First, one thing i messed up. It wasn't Tampa's record they doubled, it was their old record.Anyway, Germany was the friendly record in Florida at the time. Tampa over took it in 2005 with over 31k. Jax took it back with 45k this year.Edit: FC Jax Destroyers is a badass name. It screams a battleship logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that Jacksonville has no chance of supporting a team; I just don't think your evidence fully proves that it would. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Especially of they are showing signs of soccer excitement.I mean, it is something. Mindless is talking like it is absurd. What the hell does he know about the Jax soccer market? So let me show him why some people see potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrySmalls Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 If Jacksonville wants to be strongly considered for an MLS franchise, then their market needs to show that it can continuously support their local club, have a successful management group which can turn FC Jax Destroyers into a dominant force on the pitch (they are currently in the 4th Tier of the American Soccer Pyramid), and have the financial backing to warrant inclusion into the League.Additionally, their slim chances of success are boosted if Orlando City Soccer Club somehow fails to gain entry into MLS (which I don't see happening).
