CALLAHAN, Fla. \u2013 A superstitious Nassau County resident is banking on his huge yard decoration being a good luck charm for the Jaguars.<\/p>\n
Tim Altman placed a huge skeleton — wearing Jags gear and holding a football — in his front yard around Halloween. But something interesting happened after he did it. <\/p>\n
The Jacksonville Jaguars started winning… and winning… and winning.<\/p>\n
Before Altman took the affectionately named \u201cSkellen Quinn\u201d down, he realized the Jags\u2019 winning streak was still going — so he decided not to tempt fate.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m not superstitious but I\u2019m a little \u2018stitious\u2019 and we\u2019re winning, so I\u2019m not going to take him down until we lose,\u201d Tim Altman says. (WJXT)<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, we kept winning. I\u2019m not superstitious, but I\u2019m a little \u2018stitious,\u2019 and we\u2019re winning, so I\u2019m not going to take him down until we lose,\u201d said Altman, who explained that the Skellen Quinn moniker came from a band years ago.<\/p>\n
At one point, Altman posted a social media video that lit up TikTok, joking that his Homeowners\u2019 Association was hassling him about still having the decoration up.<\/p>\n
He clarified that it was, in fact, a joke.<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t received any letters,\u201d Altman confirmed. \u201cThey\u2019re a convenient punching bag. Everybody hates their HOA. I put that on there as a joke.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSkellen Quinn\u201d sits in Tim Altman’s yard in Callahan. (WJXT)<\/p>\n
So if the Jaguars win the Super Bowl, will Skellen Quinn move back to storage?<\/p>\n
Altman said, Nope!<\/p>\n
Skellen Quinn will stay up until the next Jaguars loss, which this diehard fan hopes is sometime next season!<\/p>\n
