It's amazing how South Jersey feels like a different state than North Jersey. For the most part, I've had no problems living here... met some fantastic friends, gas is cheaper down here, the pace is "slower" than up North.
However, yesterday, I discovered one HUGE difference.
No one likes the Giants.
The Giants are a NEW JERSEY TEAM!!! (ok well technically they are the NY Giants.. but where are the located huh? huh??) I'm still in NEW JERSEY right????
I went to 4. F O U R sports stores yesterday in the South Jersey area. The first two when asked basically scoffed at me. "heh, NO" Meanwhile I see racks and racks of Eagles stuff sitting in clearance two feet from me. This is Dicks sporting goods and The Sports Authority.
The other two, were in the mall. One was some random sports/shoe store that had other jerseys. No Giants, sorry. Then on to Modells. They had little kids Giants shirts, and tons of Pats stuff. No adults Giants stuff. I was told they DID have it, but it sold out really quickly. That gave me SOME hope for South Jersey.. met another mom in there searching for an Giants jersey for her teen daughter. That was nice.
So today I'm off to travel in the pouring rain, further North into the state in order to find something to support my guys. I live in a house with 1 adult sized Eagles fan and 3 pint sized ones (the jurys still out on Luke which way he will sway!) and I need something blue and red! Plus the fact that the GIANTS are in the superbowl and the eagles... where are they? Oh yeah. vacationing.
