Pats or Fins? Pats or Fins? Who do we hate more? I put that question to our reader base in the Jets Kvetch 2010 Fan Census, and the overwhelming response was that it is New England whom we despise the most. I can understand that, but let’s be clear: Miami is our historical nemesis. We’ve met every year since the Fins were founded in 1966, and unlike our meetings with the Patriots, these games were regularly competitive from the start. After all, at the time the Jets were en route to a Super Bowl, and the Dolphins would prove to be hot out of the gate, going from AFL expansion team to undefeated NFL champions in just six years. While the Jets may have won the first eight meetings, Miami positively dominated New York in the 1970s, taking all but two contests between 1970 and 1977.

Incredible. When I first posted my fan census, I expected that maybe 20-50 people would partake in it, and that I would have been happy with any number in that range. Then Bassett over at The Jets Blog was kind enough to link to us and the whole damn thing exploded. Within minutes hundreds of people visited this site, which prior to yesterday had never received more than 130 or so hits. We topped 1,000 yesterday. Amazing. Well, 502 responses later, here are the results of the first ever 2010 Jet Nation census, including two bonus questions that I wish I had asked the first time around. Enjoy, and, please, if you like our site, be sure to bookmark us and keep reading!

Why then doesn’t Jets Nation have its own census? How else will we know how many fans we’ve got, how long they’ve stuck with the team and whether that talk of a New Jersey/Long Island split between Jets and Giants fans is true? I’ll bet you Red Sox Nation’s had one of these things for years, and Raider Nation probably would have too, if any of their fans were literate. So please take the time to fill out at least part of the poll questions provided below. There’s a real possibility that the data we collect from this project could provide a very unexpected snapshot of our fan base.
