The Gothic Times has recently come back to the Twitter world. We would like for you to be involved. So why not be heard? Tweet us your opinion on the following topic and we will post the best ones on the Nov. issue of The Gothic Times:
There are many Giants and Jets fans among our campus.
Joining the NFL in 1925, the New York Giants are 8-time NFL champions (4 in the pre-Super Bowl era and 4 Super Bowl titles) that have 15 Hall of Fame players.
Joining the NFL in 1960, the New York Jets won their only championship in 1968 (Super Bowl III vs. Baltimore Colts) and have 10 Hall of Fame players.
The Giants/Jets rivalry began on November 1, 1970, with the Giants winning 22-10.
Though the two teams only play in the preseason annual “MetLife Bowl”, they clash in the regular season every 4 years.
Some of these regular season meetings included great moments that either spoiled their opponent’s season or turned their won season around. In 1988, with the 6-point favorite Giants seeking a playoff spot, the 7-7-1 Jets spoiled Big Blue’s hopes as the Gang Green defense sacked QB Phil Simms 8 times en route to a 27-21 victory. WR Al Toon caught the game-winning touchdown pass from QB Ken O’Brien.
Who can forget the meeting on Christmas Eve last year? WR Victor Cruz caught a record-tying 99 yard touchdown pass from QB Eli Manning that eliminated the Jets from playoff contention.
With that being said, which of the two teams are you favorite and why?
