GIANTS 101

Fellow readers, the time has finally come. After discussing this idea for (what seems like) years, the first G101 pre-game tailgate meet-up is kicking into the planning stages. No longer will you sit around wondering, “when will these guys ever show their face??” Ladies and gentlemen, that time is fast approaching.

To get this started, Benton and I thought it might be good to put the word out about a meet-up and see how many are still up for it, who would actually attend, and when would be a good time to do it. As such, it seemed logical to have the first one in the summertime (when the livin’s easy) for a pre-season game.

What’s more? If this is successful and everyone behaves enjoys themselves, we will look to do even more meet-ups. Further, Benton and I are looking into ways to have these events sponsored…at least partially, anyway. More details on that to come, but know that we’re trying.

We’ve all been a part of a tailgate…regardless of whether it was big or small…and we’ve all seen those big groups huddled around a couple grills, usually with a NYG bus of some kind behind them…it’s our time, gentlemen. We may not have a bus just yet, but we want to raise the G101 flag high and gather a nice, big crowd.

More than anything, we want to create an opportunity for everyone, writers and readers, to get together and shake hands, eat some bratwurst, and get pumped for some Big Blue football!

So what do we need to do to get this ball rolling? Well, we want to be as close to a democracy as we can make it, so the first step would be choosing a pre-season game with as many G101ers in attendance as possible. So take a look at the schedule below and pick out the one that makes the most sense for you:

• Saturday, 8/21     7:00 PM ET vs. Steelers
• Thursday, 9/02     7:00 PM ET vs. Patriots

In the comments section below, hit us up with the following info:

• Which game do you plan on attending? If you’re not sure, just let us know which you’re leaning towards.
• Would you plan to come by yourself or bring a friend/family member (if more, please give us a rough idea of the group you’d show-up with)?
• How long would you want to stay (we want you to stay as long as you can, so don’t get shy on us)?
• Would you be willing to chip-in a few dollars for food/beverages (this is NOT something we’re sold on asking, but we’d like to know who’d be willing to do so…we’re thinking maybe $5 or so)?

Thanks a lot for being the awesome readers you all are and we look forward to getting a chance to meet. Please don’t hesitate to share any constructive ideas you may have on ways to better the experience.  And to answer the question on all your minds: yes, Benton will be offering full-body royal blue paint jobs, free of charge.
