So, what's on your mind and how are you feeling about the Giants chances tonight?

I'm glad to get to the game finally! While I am optimistic, I am keeping my emotions under control in case of the unthinkable. It has been great to be a Giants fan since the stinker against the 'Skins that was the only game I went to...
 All the rest has been great fun and it may never end!

There are 3 Big Blue jerseys hanging in front of the house, along with a huge Super bowl XLII flag. 
Normal attire--Giants socks, blue and silver run shoes, blue jeans, Super Bowl XLII t-shirt, topped by a blue Giants sweat shirt.

Ribs and wings, prepared based on suggestions from the BBH members.  Thanx for all the ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!  Also, a large crock pot full of meatballs and sausage, spaghetti, garlic bread, etc.

What are you wearing? I watched the last game of the season and all three playoff games in Florida. The only Giants gear I took was a special blue #56 jersey....Wearing it again today

Superstitions and rituals? The said #56 jersey has not been washed and was carefully folded and placed in a plastic bag after each game. I'll be taking it out that bag and putting it on two hours before game time just as I did for the previous four games. Also the last playoff game I recorded was the Ravens Super Bowl so I will need one of my Giants brethren to help me out with the victory DVD :yes:

What's on the menu? Too nervous to eat much. Having a Mexican pizza for an early dinner. I plan on munching on finger nails during the game.

Who are you seeing the game with? Watching it on the big screen with my #1 Giant fan doctor.

Who do you call or text during the game? You're kidding right? =)) My best friend is a Patriots fan. He wants me to call him at half time which I will do. If the phone rings during the game....THAT"S why we have answering machines.

OK I'm ready...start the game NOW!!!

Will be at home with the wife and 14-year old son - all Giants fans and we'll all be geared up in blue or white jerseys. I normally don't talk on the phone during big games. I usually just talk at the TV.

At home with a bunch of guests my wife invited who don't know doodley squat about football. Ill be checking into BBH frequently.

Wings, chili, and Budweiser on the menu.

I feel good about the Giants chances here, but like any Giants fan, I do have the jitters. If they play to their potential, it's a two or three score game. Turnovers, drops and missed tackles will make the difference. In other words, it's a Giants game.

We decided with my daughter, big Pats fan, that it would be better not to watch this game together; texting it is...

Nothing special, go to the gym for a swim, watch the Lingerie Bowl, wear whatever comes to mind, and finish dinner before the game start.

GO GIANTS!!!

What are you wearing? Same things I wore for the last 5 games. Yes, I washed them all except for my Tuck Jersey.

Superstitions and rituals? Making the Ribs and my Lucky Socks that I still have from the '86 season. Yes I washed them!

What's on the menu? BBQ/Smoked Ribs, BBQ Stuffed Meat, Italian Appetizers, Rice and Beans, Mac salad, Labatts Blue

Who are you seeing the game with? My Brother and his wife, Linda, and my Nieces Jennifer and Alexis. Same winning combination for SuperBowl 42.

Who do you call or text during the game? Big Hitter, Jaime and the 50 other people who will Facebook and text me. Accepting all texts from the rest of the gang here too!

I think the Giants have a great chance for this game as evidenced by my thread, A Tale Of Two Teams.

Chances-I am optimistic. and can hardly wait fior  game to finally start.

What are you wearing?-Giant wind shirt over Giant t shirt over long sleeve Giant shirt, GiantNFC champions cap, and Giants watch..

Superstitions and rituals?-I am giving up one superstition-sitting in same seat on sofa-to watch game on big screen at a neighbor's house. Hopefully, I can get the same seat on their sofa.

What's on the menu?-wings, veggies, crackers and chips with dips, ribs maybe,  wine,or beer, and a glass of Kra-Ze -a vodka and berry drink-after Giants win. Maybe something else. My wife told me that I am in charge of menu planning today.

Who are you seeing the game with?-My wife and a neighbor couple-die hard, and gracious Packer fans,.

Who do you call or text during the game?-If there are any calls, only at half time with my son and son in law, and when the game is over.

 Gosh, I would LOVE a 1:00 start. I'm ready right now, and to wait till 6:30 is just maddening. I just cannot listen to the talking heads anymore. I won't turn on the TV till 6:00.

I hate to include the word NASTY, but that is part of being a winning football team.

I had about 4 different SB dreams last night...,


Chances -   Good but sick to my stomach.

Wearing  -  the same Mets baseball tshirt that I've worn every Sunday since Xmas.

Superstitions -  same clothes and not talking trash.  I always praise the other team until 0.00

Menu -    Guinness and hopefully Champagne campaign

Company -  roomie , normally I would watch it alone but she's been apart of this whole ride

Text -  nobody.  Halftime maybe.    We win.   Everyone.  We lose I go my cave.

What are you wearing?  Same shirt and jeans I wore the last 5 games.  Wife has the same shirt and NY Hair scrunchie she has worn the last 5 games and the dogs have their bandana's on - that they have worn every game for the last 5 or so years.

Superstitions and rituals? - just the clothes

What's on the menu? - Homemade egg rolls - superbowl tradition started 12 years ago.  Also dipping stuff in chocolate (ie, oranges, marshmallows, strawberries, graham crackers and bacon)

Who are you seeing the game with? - Wife and dogs

Who do you call or text during the game? - Absolutely NOT.  I "do not exist" when the Giants play.  I dont answer the phone or the door and if I am asked a question, it needs to be during a commercial or half time.
