Too many Patriots fans...
... Go Giants
... Go Giants
Memories are long up here- you can't expect any true Yankee to cheer for anything with New York in it's name. It is the New England Patriots after all and Vermont was created as a breakaway from the "Empty State" (Remember Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys?).
I was on the Norwich Campus yesterday on my way south from Montreal- was reminded again- Pretty place but Northfield is truly a small town!
Go Pats!
Great thread - Go Patriots!!

Fuji- welcome back to the Forum. The rumor was that you had gotten lost on your way to an Alumni reunion in Northfield and strayed over the border into Quebec where you were being held incommunicado until you learned French!
Except maybe those of us from Fairfield County, Connecticut. GO GIANTS!!

Been waiting for this--you were right about the AFC championship, Bruno, so here's hoping your crystal ball is still in good working order . . . (and that a certain "high ankle sprain" is amenable to treatment, of course!)Sorry- Connecticut doesn't really count as New England. I mean- from Hartford west they root for the Yankee's- how non-New England can you be? They might as well just get New York License plates!! And back when you were living there- the quarterback was YA Tittle for heaven's sake. It's time to let it go and be on the side of the good guys!
It should be a good game- Sticking with my prediction: Pats by 7

Yep, YA Tittle, Pat Summerall, Frank Gifford, Joe Morrison, Del Shofner, Alex Webster, Rosey Grier, Sam Huff, the recently-late Andy Robustelli, and a state line 10 miles away where the drinking age was 18. Those were the days, my friend, those were the days.
I agree, it should be a great game - Brady vs. Manning - and I can't lose either way.
Naah- I'm not that old- but BTexino- he is practically MethuselahJeez, you guys are really *old*! Of course, I was in college when OJ Simpson and USC beat the tar out of my alma mater in what was then the PAC 8.
Naah- I'm not that old- but BTexino- he is practically Methuselah
The first college Football game I went to was in the LA Coliseum to see USC with OJ play Cal in 1967 - then same year I went over the hills to the RoseBowl with my Dad to see them beat Indiana- good memories USC won the national championship that year and OJ was a running machine.
Ah for the good old days when the Juice was a good guy. BTW Methuselah had a great life of 969 years. I am not going make a tenth of that. So BTexino is doing really well
Well Bruce- let's make it personal- say a beer and a sandwich at McAdoo's in Lexington in May at graduation? I look forward to a free cold one while I recount great Patriot moments from the game!
