JETS GREEN TO OLD AND FRIAL. Well being that my father is a huge Jets fan and has been a season ticket holder for the past 30 years, with that he has only missed 4 games in that time frame, he started taking me to games when I was 7 it is kind of obvious as to why I am a Jets fan. I love being a Jets fan and now I plan to keep tradition alive being this is my 5th year that I own my own ticket with my father and haven't missed a game yet.

CoachTsurfing Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 If I tell you, you guys will think I'm the biggest homo ever. I will tell you anyways. lol. I'm 35 and grew up in Goshen n.y. When I was about 6 I saw the movie west side story and thought the Jets were the coolest gang. I was watching football with my father a few weeks later and the Jets were playing and new right there in then, that was going to be my team. I loved their helmets, the colors, and no one else in the neiberhood really liked them. I've been a fan ever since. P.S. I'm not a homo, not that there's anything wrong with that.

faba Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I grew up getting into sports because of my father (rest his soul) who was very much sports minded-he liked the Jets so I followed along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowJet35 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I live in Jersey, so it was Giants or Jets, and the Jets were more appealing when I was 4, and I went to games because my uncle had season tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthCoastJetsFan Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I honestly can't remember why (I was a Jets fan before Joe Namath) but if I could find the person responsible I would beat the living daylights out of them. I remember the Titans, the first game at Shea, and the horrible losses up until the Super Bowl on Jan. 12, 1969. The Gastineau roughing, the entire decade of the 70's, the Mud Bowl, the fake spike, the Thomas fumble afterwards. Rich Kotite, Herman Edwards, Lou Holtz, Pete Carroll, Bruce Coslet, Charley Winner. It's a miracle any of us old-timers remain Jet fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a miracle any of us old-timers remain Jet fans. I was just a very casual Giant fan when the Titans came into existence and we traveled from South Brooklyn up to the Polo Grounds to watch them. I should have known then to get out. Thought when then won the SB that things would change but again i was wrong. Yeah its hard to believe we are still Jet fans. Nobody knows the troubles we've seen.

Seriously thouogh i was born a Steeler fan (Fathers Family) but when i moved in with my grandparents my grandfather and i watched every Jets and Giants game evey sunday together that was our time, i used to like both but dropped the Giants when they dismantled the best linebacking core to every play in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 As a kid growing up in the early 70's you had: 1) Joe Namath and his popcorn maker, Brady Bunch, Jigsaw puzzle, etc, etc 2) The Giants Norm Snead and Ron Johnson. You make the choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
