Getting ready for some football!

Tonight's Game

Opponent: Carolina
Game Time: 8 p.m.
TV: NBC, WNBC

That's right, Giants fans. Today is a game day! The exhibition season gets under way for Big Blue tonight, and of course that means it's the first actual game we'll have to chat about here at Big Blue View Nation since we started a few months ago.

There won't be a live blog. I don't usually do that, but feel free to use this as an open game thread and post your thoughts about the game before, during and after.

I'm sure we will have plenty to discuss once we see what happens tonight.

While waiting for the game to start, here are a few links to interesting Giants articles to tide you over.
