Bills fan since 87

Ugh...

That is....sadly...a bold statement. What's you're top 3?

On the eve of every Bills season I like to write something up to rally my brethren and illustrate what it is to be a Bills fan. It is with a heavy heart I do so this year as we lost one of our own this past summer, Jeff Ossont... Foot. Foot exemplified what it is to be a Bills fan on every level. We are a loyal breed that is always happy to see another, stranger or friend, quick to exchange our greeting "Go Bills" wherever we might be in the world. We wear a logo that most associate with futility and we wear it proudly and we wear it with honor. And well....we like to drink. Nothing beats a Sunday putting down the beers as we cheer our boys on. Foot and I attended numerous Bills games together over the years. We rejoiced late season wins against the Jets or Fish at the Tavern in lost seasons because a Bills win just makes the week better, even if we are 4-7. Being a Bills fan is a unique thing. We love a team unconditionally that rarely pays us anything back, and we wouldn't for a second think of changing our colors. Our fraternity lost a special person who understood this fully and never once wavered over the years. On this eve of a new season I say for I say for myself, for my fellow Bills fans, and most importantly for you Foot. "Go Bills"

Pretty cool. Maybe include a list type scoring recap next time, or box score?

Agree on all accounts

Thirsty Turtle and City Tavern by the mall are my usual spots on the weekends I go out for games. Mix it up between home, friends houses and bars

Why is the Bengals/Colts final preseason game against eachother when they play in week one?

I kinda dig it! How cool would it be to have a real buffalo lead the charge out of the tunnel like Colorado University does?

I'd love for this to be the case but that's pure fantasy and you know it..

Horrible. Another one...

Awesome. Love this kind of stuff. Thanks!

Better yet a knee.

I really, really started to dislike them then. But they didn't reach hate level until Brady and spygate

Seems it should be easy enough. But I know apps fail and phones have issues. If you used stub hub can you just screen shot their image or is it more complicated than that now?

Khols surprisingly good sometimes....otherwise fanatics.com

This is awesome, thanks for sharing. I love this kinda stuff.

Thought the same thing

Kickers need practice too?

Hammers is my home lot. Cant imagine a Bills game without it. But this one time I might be doing something different...

Yeah, I like the idea of checking out the different view points around the stadium during the game. I figure i can do just this one Bills game without at tailgate as all 80+ others were with a tailgate. Congrats on the 101 and counting. When my streak of 42 came to an end it was kind of sad, keep it rolling. Go Bills! C. 8 months with no Bills football. Which we'd be on the cusp of at that point...Even if we have 4 wins I'd still watch the Bills on TV anyway. Figure this might be a good chance to experience something new at a bargain price. I've never not tailgated so it should be interesting to roam about.

That.... Is a rough day...

Good stuff here, thanks for the responses. Kinda charged up to experience a solo game. Definitely going to be a unique and new experience.

I should lead off by saying I am a former season ticket holder. I've probably been to about 80 Bills games over the years, 32 straight at one time. I will be going to the Titans game this year with some coworkers and the Bears game with my former season ticket crew. This is hardly a situation where this will be my one shot to see the Bills because I am passing through town. I was considering going to either the Jets or Lions December games this year but no one else wants in. If the season goes the way we think it might I can probably score a ticket to either game for $10-15 (paid $12 for the snow bowl last year). Despite no one else wanting to go to either game I think I still might. I imagine it will be a far different experience than I'm used to. Usually the grills are fired up and beers cracked in Hammer lot around 8:15 AM every Sunday I'm at a Bills game. But solo? I wont be tailgating with my people. I could see myself parking at one of the cheap house lots down the road and walking around all the lots to take in the experience of other tailgates. Maybe get some good pictures of Buffalo doing what Buffalo does best. As far as the game goes I have no problem sitting next to strangers and cheering on the Bills because really we're all family in the stadium. Just a thought but I think it might be a different/good experience. Anyone else ever done a game solo? Any pointers for someone who hasn't?

Right. I guess I thought StubHub would still be sending a digital ticket that I could show from my phone. At least that's the way they make it sound as I am about to purchase Bills/Titans tickets.

I'm confused. If you buy the tickets on StubHub why would you need the ticket master app? Wont you just be able to use/screen shot the tickets that StubHub sends you?
