Thanks for asking, East Lansing, Michigan, born at Spartan Village on campus. Michigan State University has produced some big-time Giant players like Plaxico Burress, Brad Van Pelt and my fav, Carl Banks. Go Spartans and stay cool in Florida!

Not a Spartan, but what about a Big Bad "Wolf" and perhaps best left tackle we've ever had in Jumbo John Elliott. Next logical question then would be how did you ever become a fan of the Big Blue?

I'm in Rochester, NY, a mere 5 1/2 hours from Giants Stadium. But, after 17 years on the waiting list, I will have a pair of seats in the new stadium opening in 2010!!

I am in Montreal which is also about a 51/2 drive from the Meadow Lands, I get to about 3 games a year thanks to a network of friends I have in the New York City / Conn area, unfortunately I can not apply for season tickets because I live in Canada.

"I'm in Rochester, NY, a mere 5 1/2 hours from Giants Stadium.

MtlG, 3 games out of 8 ain't so bad eh! You are a lot closer than I would have imagined. G11, it just happened. Perhaps it's the history of the team that appeals to me the most. All that Giant tradition, it's muy impressive. Your NYG knowledge is right on. I look forward to the draft and next season. Do you find this valuable? |

Hey Gmen--Go Blue!! That's right; Jumbo Elliott was a Wolverine from 1984-87, and so was Butch Woolfolk, who played for the Giants in the early '80s.

El Paso Texas here. Originally from Lincoln Nebraska. Been a fan since the I started watchin football. Just loved the D and the bruising O that they played. No good NFL teams around Nebraska, so had to look else where. =)

Los Angeles, CA. Grew up about an hour away from Giants stadium in Princeton. Loved watching the new stadium being built whenever I visited the city.

How cool is this from my perspective to see just how many Big Blue fans there are that live so far from the NY/NJ area. I am amazed at how many NYG fans there are that never even lived near New York. Mdead, I have always had a lot of respect for Cornhusker fans; they not only travel well, but I have had the pleasure of sitting next to them in the Orange Bowl several times and they really know and love their football and are good sports....good to have you on the board with us.
