Super Bowl XLII Memories: A Look Back At The BBV Archives, Part 1

Former Big Blue View co-writer 'jrs1940,' still a VERY occasional poster here, e-mailed Wednesday night with a terrific idea. Jim suggested we go back into the Big Blue View archives and reference some of the posts done in 2008 leading up to that Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots.

So, let's do that. Each day leading up to the 2012 Super Bowl between the New York Giants and the Patriots I will pick one story from the archives for you guys to reminisce about. It's pretty interesting, actually, to look back at how we previewed that game vs. how we do things now at BBV. It's also pretty instructive to look at the total number of comments and see just how incredibly this place has grown.

So, here is the first 2008 Super Bowl preview post we will look back at.

Cowboys' fans still whining - Big Blue View

In this post, we talked about Dave Halprin, editor of Blogging the Boys, telling Dallas Cowboys fans to -- unbelievably -- root for the Giants against the Patriots in the Super Bowl. His readers did not take that well, as witnessed by this remark:

"It will be useless to root for the Giants. I forsee the biggest blowout in SB history in 2 weeks, when the Giants lucky run comes to an embarassing halt. Giants aren't even close to being the best team in the NFC. They faced a very average Bucs team and both the Cowboys and Pack played very poor games against them. Giants will get crushed by the Pats and Eli's pysche will be ruined forever."

Enjoy, folks!

This is a great idea

I only started reading BBV in early 2009 and only looked back in the archieves at a few pre-XLII stories. Thanks Ed, I will enjoying reading these blasts from the past.

Prophetic comment by Halprin

I still go and visit Eli at Bellevue Hospital at least once a month since SuperBowl 42. He just sits there and strokes his football and smiles that boyish smile. He is very peaceful, but does snarl when you say Romo. If only he had won SB 42, he might have been the greatest QB the Giants ever had

He's still very alive and well. Funny thing is, here is a quote from the past couple days.
If you’re too dense to realize that Eli is on that verge

because the Giants have a much better defense than the Cowboys, their is really no hope for your delusional mind.

And to answer your question, the uneducated fan and media type would pick Eli, the educated coach would take Romo

The rest of his comments are in the same vein. Romo is >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Eli, but the only reason Eli wins is because he has a much better OL and the defense was great for a lot of the season.

We also have this awesome post:

Delusional

First, let’s get things straight about the Giant-Packer game. The Packers lost it more than the Giants won it.

When everybody is healthy, we have a better offense, we a better QB, we have better WRs (if we resign Laurent Robinson), we have better TEs, and we have better RBs.

it’s laughable

They couldnt earlier in the yr and it’s only gonna get worse. C’mon Bill Bellichick wih two weeks to prepare! They have no chance”.

I was like man (jus like I told a lot of ppl b4 the GB game) this is a totally different team. And did you see how they played them in that last game? They almost had em + this game means more they’re playing at a higher level. You guys would be fools to think this is going to be the same type of game.

Where the hell have I been?

The possibility of a future with no more twinkies? Isn’t that one of the signs of the appocalypse???

Wow, I remember

a lot of those names from the old post. I used to be a more frequent poster, and registered after lurking just prior to the SB42 to respond to Terry when he bashed Jacobs. I think with more users visiting this blog via mobile devices, the type of comments here has changed a bit, and the volume has certainly increased. I’ve noticed the same thing on a couple other SBnation sites as well, not always for the better.

Very prescient by cj
This team is young, and still developing. Depending on how Aaron Rodgers develops, I could see the Pack and Giants (2 of the younger teams in the league) becoming the class of the NFC and developing a nice rivalry over the next few years, kinda like what the Cowboys and Niners had in the early 90’s, or the Packers and Niners in the mid 90’s, or what the Colts and Pats have had over the last few years.

Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble.

He must be

My Wife is a Patriot's fan...
"Giants rely on fumbles and stripping the ball. If the pats secure the ball, then the pats win, but if they fumble or let the ball get striped than the giants win. every game the giants play they always benefit from the other teams bonehead mistakes (fumbled or striped) not from thier skills. The giants are a dirty team, I can’t think of any othe team as dirty as the giants. They try to strip the ball as hard as they can because they know they can’t win a fair game." by EaglesNeedD on Jan 23, 2012 2:01 AM EST

Back ......

This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.

Is it really a rivalry?

It doesn’t seem as hate filled as those past rivalries were, and all rivalries have some sort of hate in them. Also it seems that during the regular season the Packers kick the crap out of the Giants, I mean really kick the crap out of them (aside from this year’s game of course, tho our defense was basically a revolving door that game).

And of course in the playoffs we beat them twice. Which really is all that matters.

I guess you could call that a rivalry tho.

would seem to be a bit more fitting if the Giants and Packers were always in the top 3 of the NFC tho instead of the Packers doing that all the time.

I have gone back and read stuff from the SB42 play-off run

from all blogs of teams involved with the Giants in that run… less comments, same old opinions.

Fill me in what's he saying?...

Again he’s flying under the radar for this game..I love it…The problem is he isn’t fooling BillB….

They asked him if he was stranded on a deserted island and could only choose one of two people, between Oprah Winfrey and TC…who would he choose….after about 10 oh man’s he decided on Oprah

Great post Ed!!

I often wondeted what the mood was around the blogs of our rivals when the Giants made thiet run in 07-08 but never had the time to pull the thread. Then hate for the Giants back then seemed to be much more severe then which makes the joy of victory so much better. "worst blowout in history!??

If you want to argue that Manning is a) not a great quarterback or b) not the best quarterback in franchise history your credibility is automatically shot.

Too funny

to present day where he essentially calls all Giant wins luck. Saying the Cowboys have the better QB and WRs is totally delusional. I will go along with JJ building the better football stadium and having better cheerleaders.

the the talk about the giants being 'lucky' reminds me of a story...

…end of WWII and a US tank column is driving through a german town. A US captain, who happened to speak german, is standing at the curb next to some german townsfolk. A little kid says to his mother (in german, of course), “Our tanks are better”. The captain overheard and said to the kid – “then why aren’t they here?”

That’s what I have to say to the Cowboy fan moron who is trying to justify his team’s failures. Just win, baby!

I would love to see the looks on those guys faces when the Eli wins his second Super Bowl. Especially considering Romo has 1 playoff victory.
