Super Bowl XLII Memories: A Look Back At The BBV Archives, Part 2

Let's continue our look back at the Big Blue View archives from the coverage prior to Super Bowl XLII with a classic -- the discussion of those 19-0 t-shirts that were available for purchase prior to the game between the New York Giants and New England Patriots.
Pats' fans celebrating a little too soon?
Here is what I wrote that day:
This didn't come from Bill Belichick, Tom Brady or Robert Kraft -- but obviously somebody thinks it's a foregone conclusion that the New England Patriots will beat the Giants in Super Bowl XLII.
These shirts are already on sale from a Web site called 19-0.org.
Hopefully, this will work out as well for the Patriots as Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones taking orders from players for NFC Championship Game tickets before his team had played the Giants.
When I look back at this you know what strikes me? This story drew nine comments from the Big Blue View community. Nine! Things certainly have changed.

Football Gods...
I’ve noticed a bunch of Giants fans who seem to think the Giants are going to roll over NE this year. It makes me uneasy.

Why? The fans aren’t playing, LOL.

I have too
Building a false sense of security only lead to bad things.
This is not to say that I would not be overjoyed if the G-men came out with fire and did just that, becuase I don’t want to become the first fan to die in stadium from a damn heart attack.
But I do think some are getting way ahead of themselves and hope this mindset doesn’t carry over to the team and fill their already oversized noggins with hot air.

JIMMY!
Nice to see you around. You could call a little more often…
Eli Manning is the opposite of Lebron James. If you ask Lebron for change for a dollar, he only gives you 75c because he doesnt have a fourth quarter. When Eli asks for change, he only takes one quarter because thats all he's gonna need.

Hi Chucky
I’m here every day, I just don’t post everyday. So many people here now commenting, that if I don’t have anything new to add, I don’t post.

I suppose if they re-worked them they could have salvaged some of their investment...
Just print ‘Im’ on them…and cross out the 19, and add ’H Shit to the O….

San Gregorio, Nicaragua Actually..
In a perfect world, the hat would be sitting on Tom Brady’s mantle and the woman holding the hat in an impoverished and remote village in Central America would still have her teeth. But there is perfect and there is near perfect, and the slightest difference explains how I came to be standing in a puddle of mud, carefully balancing a 75-pound purple backpack on my shoulders in San Gregorio, Nicaragua, urging my new best friend Hannibal to assure the toothless woman that we were serious about giving her actual money for this hat.

Conan!, What is good in Football?!
Daa.... to run between the tackles,
To drive the linebackers before you,
And to hear the lamentations of the cheerleaders.

That is awesome :)
Dude should’ve taken orders. I would’ve pitched in $5 that he gave for the hat in order to have one of those to laugh at. Got to be a collectors item at some point . Not to mention, it would be fun to pull out and lord over my boyfriends head. LOL! :)
I would love to find one of those shirts on e-bay
I would buy it, and wear it with a giants hat and/or jacket over it.

Describing that Pats Season
the operation was a success……but the patient died….
Crazy
That year was so unbelievable, but this year has been right there – just unreal! These guys never quit.

Just like this years playoffs
I was so nervous on any given play during the SB. I knew the Giants had a chance!
i went throuh the archives yesterday
I cant believe how much this site has grown.

If I recall
there was also a book being pre-sold from the Boston Globe to commemorate the 19-0 season. I used to have a screenshot from Amazon saved when it was listed, but I’ve long since deleted it.
I think it was Justin Tuck, or maybe Steve Smith who said after the game:
“18-1….write THAT book”
The Giants were well aware of the existence of this book.

I was listening to WFAN a lil while agao
and a guy called up saying he is nervous about the game. Thats fine, its a normal feeling to have before this game but its what he said. He is nervous because if they lose against the Pats, it takes away all the happiness from winning SB42 and proves it was a fluke win.

Nothing will ever take that away
I can watch Brady’s presser response to Plax 23-17 prediction all day long and love it every time.
Defeating an undefeated in the Super Bowl is historic and there was nothing fluky about it. The D made Brady wet himself and Eli proved he’s just a big game QB.
Manning lobs it, Burress alone, touchdown New York!
For the empty net, Mark Messier... do you believe it?! Do you believe it?! He said we will win game 6 - he has just picked up the hat trick!
that guy is an idiot
we played them twice at the end of that season, in week 17 and in the SB. In week 17 we played a very close hard fought game and lost, in the SB we played a very close and hard fought game and won. Neither was a blowout, we just happened to win the one that counted more. We obviously matched up well with them and that one day, we were the better team.
18-1
I remember saying to two Pats fans the week before the SB that at the start of the season you’d be ecstatic about an 18-1 season. They didn’t like that. heh heh.
Best one though was one Pat fan I was talking to about the matchup, going through some Xs and Os a bit, but at the end of the conversation he says ’let’s just say I’m not too worried’. I have thrown that line back at him at least a dozen times in the last 4 years.

I also think someone should look at the tape of the games on those covers...
I don’t think it is legal for 3 players to have their own footballs on the field at the same time. I’m surprised nobody noticed that leading up to the Super Bowl.

Hmmm...I think we are definitely onto something.
We just have to decide whether or not we go “all in” because it could end up costing us our lives.

Only nine comments...
…hell, I write nine comments myself almost daily these days about stepping up and making big plays.
Over 1,700 fans on Faceboost now, too…seems like it was only yesterday when there were 200 or so when it was first added to the right hand column of the main BBV page.
