Fort Niagara when I was a youth. Loved the trip, but the history of it literally got me hooked with American history in that era.
Another museum, the Ann Frank House in Amsterdam, Holland. I went there when I was on leave in the Air Force. This museum
has had a profound impact on me! When the tour guide took us up the stairs where the Frank family stayed, I could only
IMAGINE the terror the Frank family had as those Nazi troopers rushed in on that fateful night!!!
You can still see the pencil marks on the wall where Mr Frank measured the kids height each year. And when our group were
there, listening to the tour guide, he church bell sound because it was twelve noon. That's the same church bell that Ann wrote
about in her diary, and how it gave her inspiration and calmness in such terrible circumstances!!
That's my 2 cents.
Go Bills!!!

What's that website that shows the colorized regions in the country what areas will see what games?
In the meantime, "Go Bills"!!

Ahhh, Bills fan 69, good post. I was in 6th grade when the AFL was created and was DELIGHTED when I learned that Buffalo
was going to have a team in that league! I loved watching our team on those old black & white TV's we had back then! And
when the Bills won those 2 Championship in 1964 & 65 I was on cloud 9 for days & days afterward.
Now I'm in my mid 70's and still "Live and Die" on each snap of the ball when the Bills are on offence.
BF619, good post, and "Go Bills"!!!

So ….what exactly is this tradition that you and your wife have?
Making a copy of the Bills new season schedule and putting it up on our refrigerator door, and marking the wins & loses
as the season goes on.

Thanks to everyone for the help. Go Bills.

I'm in need of a printable Bills schedule for this season. For the first time in years, and years, I could not find one on the internet anywhere that included
the start time of the game as of eastern standard time. Anybody got one or know where I can go search for one that has this? It's kind of a fun "tradition"
my wife and I like to do as the season goes along.
I would be very grateful for any assistance. Thank you and GO BILLS!!!!

THE AUTOMOBILE, far & away had the biggest impact of all time!
It was a global phenominon (sorry for the spelling) that's still going on today. It impacted on our society on many, many, fronts.
It impacted on the steel industry, the oil industry, commercial farming as well as private farming, road construction, the hotel
and motel busineses, tourism, even the fast food business. The list goes on and on, longer than I have the time to post on this
topic. That machine provided millions and millions of jobs for a lot of people.

Haven't quite scratched the Graham Gouldman itch. He wrote 3 seminal hits for the Yardbirds: Evil Hearted You, Heart Full Of Soul and this one:
And one that might have been, but Jeff Beck took it solo:
Rolonzo, if you like Jeff Beck (God rest his soul) Buy the Jeff Beck "Truth" disk from the album he produced back in 1969. Rod Stewart
did the vocals with Ron Wood on bass. The album was given to me from a guy that roomed next to me in 1971 when I was in the the
Air Force. I played Led Zepplin so much, he thought that I'd like Jeff Beck as well. Boy, was he right!! Check out the Truth album, if you
haven't done it already. Rest in peace, Jeff! (PS: the song "Beck's Bolero" really rocks!!)

My God, what a great thread!!!! I went through high school in the 60's and these songs I remember dearly.
It was a "fast" decade because so many things were changing & the rock music was at the head of those changes.
Rebellion was the thing. I grew up in Western NY so naturally, I'm a Bills fan. But, for my senior year in baseball,
I painted my spikes white as a tribute to the rebellious Joe Namath. Go Bills!!!!

There are so many, but given that no one has chosen this one, I will go with Cream's Born under a Bad Sign (originally an Albert King song), which I always have thought aptly describes what it is like to be a Buffalo fan:
"Born Under A Bad Sign"
Born under a bad sign.
I've been down since I began to crawl.
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all.
Bad luck and trouble's my only friend,
I've been down ever since I was ten.
Born under a bad sign.
I've been down since I began to crawl.
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all.
You know, wine and women is all I crave.
A big bad woman's gonna carry me to my grave.

If it wasn't for real bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all.
Born under a bad sign.
Born under a bad sign.Great choice!!! Going with a true blues song by Albert King done by Cream. I Like the bules tribute!!

For me, right now, I'm going with Heroes by the Wall Flowers. Flame away my fellow fans.

In short, I'm starting to think that coach McD and staff and the front office is good at getting the Bills into the playoffs, but can't get
the Bills to the Super Bowl, let alone win it. FWIW, that's my 2 cents.

It's the curse of the Edmond Fitzgerald.

I mean over a damn football game? Too much youth that has no damn discipline,and grew up in fantasy land playing COD, that think its ok to pull a weapon and start shooting.
Got that right SBF. This "gun happy" country, where FAR too many people have access to firearms and therefore, they think that the only justice
when they don't like something/or somebody, then that's a just reason that they should be shot. Sick! It's very sick!

We have had our blood letting. Time to move on. How badly will the Blills beat the Jets this week?
Roger that, Chaos.

A very good opening to the thread, Hoof Hearted. For whatever it's worth, I say lets (meaning, the players) regroup, support one another fiercely,
work harder in practice, and bring a new intensity level onto the playing field come Sunday and expect to win.
FWIW, that's my 2 cents. Go Bills!

My wife & I will be having Buffalo wings and leftover Halloween candy. Go Bills!!!
