I live in Southlake, TX a suburb of Dallas/ Fort Worth.

My whole life (44 yrs), other than a brief romance with the Vikings after Tarkenton got traded and Big Blue couldn't get out of their own way!

I have a great wife and a son who will be 11 soon.  I am very proud of of him on a number of fronts, but for our purposes he is big Giants fan in the middle of Cowboy country.  He sticks to his guns even though he has put up with a lot of crap!

On many levels, the Cowboy game was OUR Super Bowl!  It has been very sweet, indeed, being a Giant fan in D/FW the last few weeks.

I love the TO crying bit. I know men do cry and they get emotional. However, TO is just someone I never could stand.

I just remember that horrid loss against the 49ers in 2002, and so the crying bit and the win over Dallas is pure sweet revenge to me.

I live in Sheffield,  England and am 42 y.o. 

I have been a Giants fan since the early 80's (ugly).  I used to listen on Armed Forces radio network prior to it coming on British TV regularly in 1984.  We get a choice of live games on Sundays and all the Thursday/Saturday/Sunday and Monday night games live here, although with the 5+ hours difference this means early morning finishes regularly (worse next year as i guess the g-men will be on a lot of night games!)

I also support Man Utd (soccer) and have a season ticket for them.  If they can win the European Cup this year that would be the perfect double with the SB, it also means I will get to go to Moscow.

I work In IT for EDS

I went to the Wembley game this year and if you had told me we would win the SB after that I would have laughed at you!

1)  What part of the Country do you live in?

I live in enemy territory Dallas, TX now.  I live in Houston, TX now. Born in Hoboken, raised in Jersey City until 7th grade, then lived in Norman, Oklahoma for the next 15  or so years.

2)  How long have you been a Giants fan?

Since I can remember.  I remember dressing up as LT during Halloween in the 3rd grade.  I didn't become a diehard, follow every off-season move, read the boxscore religiously fanatic until I moved to Norman, Oklahoma and was surrounded by Cow fans.

3)  What do you do for a living?

I am an intellectual property attorney.  I am in my 2nd year of law school. I worked for 4 years as a computer programmer before that.

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?

Diehard University of Oklahoma fan as well.  Had 50 yardline, row 25 seats for the OU-Boise St. Fiesta Bowl... in the University of Phoenix Stadium.  In about 13 months, that stadium has hosted a top 5 BCS game where my team lost and a top 5 Super Bowl where my team won.

I think we all would have laughed at that time, Rich.

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?

I'm 23 and trying to finish college. Lost my father and fiance 2 years ago which really destroyed my GPA.

Have a wonderful girlfriend and a cat.

If anyone needs a highly motivated/ hard worker let me know. Waiting is the most awful thing in the world next to foreign professors.

Hi to all,

1. What part of the country do you live in?

I live in Kissimmee, FL. A few miles south of Orlando. via Ft. Myers ('01-'04), via Schenectady/Scotia, NY.

2. How long have you been a Giants fan?

For as long as I can remember. My guess would be ever since 1984, only because I remember watching the SuperBowl against the Broncos fairly vividly.

3. What do I do for a living?

I currently am a full time student at Florida Christian College, majoring in Counseling/Bible. I also work full time with the City of St. Cloud/Hopkins Park. I run a teen summer camp. I also work part time for my church as an associate minister.

4. Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?

I have been with my beautiful wife Misty for nearly 12 years, and we've been married for 6. I have four children; Cheyenne (11), Gracie (9), Aj (7), and Emmalee (5). I have been sober for a little over 6 years now. I coach all of my children's flag football teams, I coach/play on my college's flag football team, and play on my church's softball team. I've been playing basketball ever since I was 7 and eventhough I'm a little older now (31), I can still play with anyone.  I've been a Christian for only 6 years and have a very long way to go. I lead a D-group on Wednesday nights for married couples. I have 2 years left in school, and am possibly moving to either Lincoln, Illinois or Cincinnati, Ohio in 2010 to go to school for my Master's Degree in Counseling. My family and I have a Wii, and my kids think I am the Super Mario Grand Master because I can beat all of the games  :laugh: My family is my life, and ever since being sober I have realized how detrimental my drinking was to my family early on. I love playing chess, and being a member here at the GC.

Peace to all,
