Message: [QUOTE="jdb50, post: 5293138, member: 1530"] A game that didn't count. As a 12 year old my Dad took me to the Giants vs Jets preseason game in 1969 at the Yale Bowl. We were Giants fans. Their first meeting ever it had all the buzz of the two opposing fanbases as the Jets were Super Bowl winners. There were small bleachers on the field for New Haven cops and they had to come up a number of times. Seeing Namath up close, Tarkenton, the Goodbye Allie sing along, and we were at the tunnel after when Boozer and Snell walked out to get on the bus. Old fashioned serious dudes. Jets destroyed the Giants 37-14. Sherman was fired in mid September. [/QUOTE]
