The Jacktown Regional Football Conference
Hey everyone!
With conference realignment on the mind, there is a trend that could help guide a regional football conference for us. As the list of possible schools developed, I noticed that many of the schools were in towns that featured either a Jack Brown's or a Billy Jack's. That got me thinking, could we develop a Jacktown Regional Football Conference made up only of school in towns with a Jack Brown's or Billy Jack's. Here is the list of likely schools:
JMU - Harrisonburg, Virginia (JB's and BJ's)
University of Richmond - Richmond, VA (JB's)
ODU - Norfolk, VA (JB's)
ECU - Greenville, NC (JB's)
UNC-Charlotte - Charlotte, NC (BJ's)
MTSU - Murfeesboro, TN (JB's)
UT- Chattanooga - Chattanooga, TN (JB's)
UAB - Birmingham, AL (JB's)
If we had free reign we could add UVA and Vanderbilt, but I left them out to make it as realistic as possible. UVA and Vanderbilt, would allow for North/South Divisions that I would tentatively call the "Showalter Division" for the North and the "Cowboy Division" for the South.

Very sad news that the JB’s in Shockoe Bottom (Richmond) has closed its door. The news came a few weeks ago.

Jack Browns in RVA still open & serving during the virus. Attended the Billy Jack's here a few times, including a couple of JMU RVA Alumni events. Always seem to be a decent crowd. Sorry to hear they had to close, will miss the Sticky Nugs.

Worst thing about Richmond JB’s is a spatter infestation.

That's the best part Hyper. Always enjoy wearing my JMU gear there after annual football beatdown. Purple looks much nicer than red sweater vest.
