  1.  

    Phenomenal scene.

     

    Mine is the ridiculous mascot at Stanford. I'm certain it's the best in college sports. It's awesome when we play someone like USC, who has a very organized and precise band/mascot, then we send out our dancing tree and 40 or 50 stoned and drunk "musicians". Fear the Tree...

     

    Love the tree but this guy is the number one mascot in college sports:

  2. For those of you who went, how was the crowd/where is the best place to sit/what do they do differently than buffalo?

     

    Part of me wants to go there and not know what to expect

     

    One of the biggest differences is there are many little lots around the stadium not the vast open lots we have in Buffalo. Last year I parked in a lot up against lake Erie. The famous lot is the "muni" lot. Just Google it. The most decor and die hard fans. Check out the Browns message boards for info. They were very helpful to me last year. Good people to tailgate with too.

  3. I went to Bills @ Browns last year with a couple buddies. It was awesome. I got them through stubhub. Went out the night before. Cleveland's got a good bar scene and Bills fans traveled well. Took over the hotel I was staying in and represented in the stadium. Might be a bit less blue and red this year with the game being Thursday. Still...make the trip...its great

  4. In 1987 I was 11 years old and it was the first year I put down the GI Joes and Transformers and really started paying attention to sports.

     

    My dad and grandfather were Giants fans but I wanted to be different. Here was this team from what I then thought was a funny sounding city making a push towards the playoffs. Being from the Adirondacks then we got the Syracuse news stations (I only had 3 channels at that time!) And that season was a special year for Cuse football too (11-0-1). I remember looking forward to every weekend to see if the Orange would win again and if that team from Buffalo could win.........It was the next year though I was cemented in. I vaguely recall the regular season games (the home opener vs the Vikings, losing at Chicago, that odd game in Tampa and of course fandamonium!) but vividly remember running up stairs to cry when they lost to Cincinnati and Icky Woods in the AFC championship. I was locked in. Funny how a loss seems to be the defining point of early fanhood for many.

     

    So many years have since passed. 4 super bowls, a tattoo, more tears, so many great Sundays and this year for the first time season tickets. Only Syracuse Basketball rivals my passion, commitment and love for Buffalo Bills football. Until the day I die I will proudly say GO BILLS!
