The good and the bad are what make Giant fans real. It makes us appreciate what is happening now. It was kind of interesting to see all the bailouts (not economic) after two losses. Having been through the "seventeen years of bad football" you know who the true blue fans are. This video was really nostalgic.

Thanks guys for the welcome!
The Giants won only one game in two years at the bowl. They were always competitive except for the last game vs. the Vikings in the snow (31-7). John Mendenhall was clearly the crowd favorite and the defense kept them in the game. I was a teenager but I remember how loud and zealous the fans were. There were significant fights in the stands as the Cowboy fans were at their arrogant best during the early 70's.

I live in Central Connecticut however I grew up in New Haven and was an usher as a kid at the Yale Bowl where the Giants played before the first Giants Stadium was built.

I've been a fan since 1966. A tough year to break in.

I am a high school principal so the frustration of the Giants pales in comparison.

I think I have seen almost every single game since 1966. Just a couple exceptions.
