    Michigan getting ready to set the draft record

    in The Stadium Wall

    Gonna be a crazy, wild draft at WR when we look back in 5 years. So many WRs with talent that need to improve - or are permanently deficient - in one or more areas of their game. So many factors - development, talent, role, work ethic, QB, etc. - at play regarding each of their successes or failures. There are going to be a lot of GMs lauded and others taking real heat over this one. Just have to hope we take a good shot and hit. 

    I feel the same way about this years QB class. To me it looks iffy. Outside of Williams and possibly Maye, the rest don’t seem like first round picks.

    But I’m usually wrong predicting talent so take it with a grain of salt. Lol

    I leave it up to the people on this board though who have better track records than me. 👍🏻

    I know @Dan Gross plays drums.  I think @Toomstone.Part.Duex is in a band of some kind.  We could probably get Paul Burdon (music director of the Red Pinto Tailgate) to slappa dat bass

     

    I’m a professional clapper, but I am willing to clap for free for any TBD band, bad or good! 👍🏻🤘🏻

    PSL Pricing/Seat Selection Discussion

    Legends are pros, no doubt. So, everyone loves getting a deal. Go into a room and ask " raise your hand if you got a good deal last time you bought a car"...every single stinkin hand will go up. And that's why all the car dealers are broke ya know.

     

    Right now... STH holder in row 18, section 337... all up in arms now saying " I ain't paying $20K PSL, hell no"

     

    When the PSL price  comes out and its $1500...they gunna be like" that's not $20K, i am getting a much better deal, i am in" 

     

    they got a deal!

    But that doesn’t include the ST’s which will probably double. I personally don’t care what they charge, because, even though I can, I refuse to be held hostage by greedy billionaires.

    I’m not condemning anyone willing to pay that exorbitant price, GOD bless them. I really hope they enjoy the experience. I, being a retired person would much rather have my winter home in Florida. 😊👍🏻😊👍🏻😊👍🏻❤️

    Agree with all of that.  

     

    But keep in mind that on our market it could backfire.  That appears to be what we're looking at here.

     

    The other thing that does not go unnoticed, whether people articulate it or not, is the blatant dishonesty.

     

    An article went up yesterday or the day before, with quotes from Legends starting that fewer than 1% of STHs have gone through.  That's a few hundred people.  

     

    Yet, several different posters here have started that their reps have told them that whatever they're now selling are selling fast.  I suppose that's possible, but given the talk everywhere and people already bowling out, it's also highly unlikely.

     

    Things like that song go unnoticed.  

     

    Buffalo's a horse of a different color and needs to be managed as such.  

     

     

    I agree. This is Buffalo we’re talking about, not NYC. Which didn’t seem to work out there. This doesn’t bode well for keeping the team in Buffalo after Josh retires.

    If the Bills didn't get a new stadium the team was going to leave town in the near future.   The league is a partnership and they won't let one partner not comply.   And if they got a new stadium it was going to be very expensive for fans to attend.    This was always the outcome if we wanted the team to stay.

     

    My group owns a lot of tickets and one of the guys is in AA and he brings people to the game who are recovering from substance abuse that has destroyed their lives. Some of them could never even otherwise afford to attend a Bills game.    There are considerably more Bills fans in relatively close proximity to the stadium in this boat than there are season ticket holders.   How many of the fans that are heated about these PSL's think about how unfortunate it is that REALLY broke die-hard Bills fans can't go to games and get good seats etc.. right now?    It's all relative.   They've gotten to go because they could pay.   And it's not like the demographic hasn't been skewing gradually wealthier at Bills games for decades.   It has.

     

     The stadium is getting smaller as the fan base expands and the venue becomes more attractive to the wealthy and businesses that can write it off.       

    Until they start to suck again. Which will probably happen when Josh leaves. It’s a money grab. I don’t have a dog in this fight. I gave up my ST’s years ago when the drinking and tailgating got out of control. 
    I really only watch the big games nowadays and wouldn’t really miss it if it went away. 
    I believe this will signal the end of the bills in buffalo sooner rather than later. High ticket prices, rowdy drunk fans and the ever increasing costs for blue collar workers and as soon as the team starts to suck, away goes the people who are willing to pay for the exorbitant prices will stop paying. 
    Greed ruins everything.

    Not that I know of, but I'm sure Trump knows all manner of 1950s Queens racial slurs that I have never even heard.

    You mean biden right? He’s the one for segregation. He even said black people would turn the school into a jungle or something racist like that.

    Beane Discusses Draft Strategy w/ Pat McAfee

    in The Stadium Wall

    There are no mysteries.  Beane has always been very clear about how he will handle the draft.  The problem is that the fans have their own views about needs and who's available in the draft, so they concoct all sorts of theories about what Beane is going to do. 

     

    Here's what Beane is going to do:   

     

    1.  Evaluate the players available and rank them.  

    2.  Look for players the Bills covet at any position who may be falling to where the Bills pick.

    3.  Maybe trade up to get one they like.  

    4.  Do all of this with an understanding, THEIR understanding, of what the Bills need.  Their understanding and ours may be very different.  This season, in particular, their understanding of whether the Bills need a receiver and what kind of receiver may be very different from ours.  Their understanding of where to get what they need may also be very different from ours.  

    Is this your own view? Did Beane call and tell you his plan? Did you concoct this theory?

    Baltimore Harbor: Cargo Ship Hits, Causes Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

    To be clear I am no Biden supporter. But to try to spin this to blame him is laughable. You have no idea what condition the bridge was in not to mention the fact that workers were on the bridge as it was hit and are in the water! 
    This is why no one listens to people like you or takes you serious.

     

     Personally I am here for the entrainment because I do not care about the draft and football is boring. You did not disappoint.

     

    If the dolts on the left can blame Trump for the plandemic I can blame bribem for failing to spend money on our infrastructure.

    Can't believe the bridge just came down that completely. I really thought only a section would fall, but it just all came crashing down. Major reconstruction effort will be needed to get this super important bridge first removed, and then re-built.

    What did you expect when we spend billions on infrastructure for other countries (which usually hate us) and practically nothing on our own? You’ve been one of the biggest cheerleaders for spending billions on Ukraine. How can you be surprised when ours start to crumble?

    How ya gonna do that? Never been done before, and you think corrupt Trump will help?

    So you’re ok with corruption as long as it’s your side doing it. Nice to know you couldn’t change your thinking to save your own ass. 
    What a horrible cult you belong too.

    Spin it how you would like. When I sad fun times that was sarcasm. Although if he committed a crime he deserves to be prosecuted, I am not looking forward to how it will further divide the country.

     

     And with all the claims about how much the charges are helping him in the polls and getting re elected why all the crying and false claims about weaponizing the justice system?

     

     

    This is a stupid take. Be better, try harder.

    Bye

    Affordable will be cheap tickets most can afford. The teams version of affordable vs ours is drastically different unfortunately. But the team is also good now so it’s at a premium. When the up and down days someday return more will be back at a lower price.

    Good riddance
