  1. Born Ithaca 1962 Moved to Buffalo 1966 First game: against Johnny Unitas at the Rockpile December 1970. Graduated Hamburg High 1980 Graduated Buffalo State 1984 Went to Jim Kelly's first game in 1986, moved to Arizona the next day. I've seen the Bills play in San Diego (2x), LA Coliseum, Denver, Arizona (2x). I also was at the first Dallas Superbowl in the Rose Bowl. Sat in an all Cowboy section. 28-10 at half and they were still nervous because the comeback game was just a few weeks before. I install garage floor epoxy systems. I also franchise my system nationwide.
  2. I was at that game in the LA Coliseum. Thankfully there were about 30K Bills fans there. It was the scariest place I've seen any sporting event. Doused with silly string during pre-game, that was from the nice folks. Literally feared for my safety after the game in a parking garage that took 2 hours to get out of.
  3. First time poster here. As an "old timer", being a Bills fan is is just what we are, it can never change. My dad took me to the Rock Pile, December 13, 1970. As an 8 year old I watched Johnny U beat the Bills 21-14 in the snow. I did not have to look that up, it's etched in my memory forever. I went to Jim Kelly's first game, September 1986 (a loss to the Jets) and moved to Az the next day, never to return. I bleed red, white and blue to this day. I commend all of you for your passion, I'm 47 and I still have it. It will happen for us, I just don't know when. But when it does, it will be oh so sweet. I honestly believe Bills fans are different from all the others. Buffalo is defined by the Bills and Sabres, just about every other city (GB excluded) is defined by many other things. That's why we will always be fans. Sure my houseful of people screamed and carried on when Larry Fitzgerald put the Cardinals up late in 4th quarter of the SB and yea it was disappointing when the Cardinals lost, but I just had another beer and went on with the day, unlike my crying like a schoolgirl on the curb in front of my house when Norwood was wide right. Being a Bills fan never gets old, it is heartbreaking sure, but I will be a fan as long as they are in Buffalo.
