Just joined up, live in Edinburgh, Scotland

Loved the NFL since we had the Scottish Claymores in town in the mid 90's

Decided to follow the Giants since NYC is the only part of America I have been too (and why would anyone choose the Jets!)

Watch most Giants games at home (even primetime that don't start until 1:30 am!)

Hoping to actually make a game at The MetLife one day, or that the Giants make it back to London

Welcome Scottish...  glad to have you aboard.

Erik

First let me also welcome you to our place. And do NOT believe anything you have been told, Jim, and I are just lovable old foggies.

As far as being in the Albany area, we have several members who reside a few blocks from you (maybe). Sorry you just found out about us, but for more years than we can count, we have always done a weekend thing at training camp for the group, families and all. We are all heartbroken that camp is now at the Timex center and our Albany days may be over.

Anyway Giantguy (George) lives in Troy and he can put you in touch with several others from the area.

Haha, thanks Lenny and roger that re: you and Jim. I agree that my timing is very unfortunate given the recent relocation of training camp, but glad to hear there's still a solid Giants contingent up here! Looking forward to it.

Hi Erik... first, welcome to the Board, you won't find one better.  I live in Troy and there are a few of us in the local area.  There's a guy on the Board [an Admin. actually] named RemembersHuff... he's from the Albany area as well, but you may want to disregard any directions he gives you, he gets lost a lot.

PM me and we can discuss places to go for games and some get-togethers.  My son is a huge fan as well and I'm sure he'd love to join-in. 

Welcome bul, and as Mighty stated, thank you for your service and that of your Airman.  I spent four years in the AF myself, back in the day !!!

tomeee, I'm glad to hear all is well with you and your family.  Looking forward to seeing you guys again and Adam is looking forward to join us as well.  Thanks again for the hospitality.

George, Adam is more than welcome.

Thank you Tomeee, much appreciated.

How about I bring bbq chicken breasts from the Dinosaur BBQ?  How about 11:30?

If, and ONLY IF you feel there's enough room, I'd like to ask my son Adam to come if he's around that day.

Bengals works for me

I can do the Bengals, that's it for me.

Sorry, can't make the Niners game myself.

THANKS ED      DOES THIS MEAN I HAVE TO GIVE GEORGE HIS COFFEE MUG BACK THAT I STOLE WHEN HE WASNT LOOKING????

Nice try Bill...  as soon as you left, I ran to my cupboard and found my cup that I hid... hey, you never know what will be under the tree this year...   

EOP, all kids are welcome...  Of course, sometimes the parents need a break as well, I surely understand that !!    

In any case, I think you will find these are some of the warmest, nicest people you will meet on any sports site and we certainly would welcome you and your family to our get-togethers wherever they may be.

Rich, I hope you got Henry's verbal agreement to attend next year's BBHBBQ !!!

I would also like to give a big Thank You to Ed.  He is the lead man on these outings.  He is the one who organizes and does the grunt work for getting the dinner reservations and communicating to all of us what the plans are.  Without Ed, we would all still be wandering around trying to fiqure out where we should go for dinner.

Bill & Louise

I know we touched on this, but the wives on this trip all seemed to get along very, very well. They even rotated their time with each other. To me that was the most impressive thing about this weekend. Shelley, Joyce and Doris never ever attended a prior event, yet I would bet they would all like to get together for a girl's night out and feel very comfortable.

Very impressive.

As I touched on before Ed, Shelley said later that night that her biggest regret of the entire day was that she wasn't able to visit more with all the ladies.  You're right, I think these ladies would have a great night out together.
