For you fans in Bonita/Naples area: do you watch games at home or go to a bar? If a bar, which is your fav? We've been down here for 15 years now and used to go to Ron Dao's in FM but I honestly can't stand the bells and whistles! Plus, we've moved to Bonita now and it's too far to drive. Cheers!

Yep. Was at the 1964 AFL Championship. It was awesome! I was a Twins fan growing up in Buffalo because of Harmon Killebrew. As an adult (sort of lol) I moved to Minnesota on a job transfer. One of the first things I did was get Twins season tix. We were lucky enough to be at all of the 1987 and 1991 Playoff and World Series games. Twins won it all both years. Our seats for the '91 season were 7 rows above the Twins dugout along the 3rd base line. Game 7 (Jack Morris vs John Smoltz) is recognized as one of the greatest WS games ever. Morris was absolutely incredible tossing a 10 inning shutout for the win. I'll never forget it.

Gary Clarke Jr at Red Rocks in May. Bucket list venue for us!

Head softball coach?

On a lark a couple years ago, we decided to check out a concert by this band who we'd never heard of. Definitely "unique". Squirrel Nut Zippers

Had to look up the date! I grew up in North Buffalo and in 1969 my buddies & I hung out quite a bit at UB. On September 16, 1969, we saw Alice Cooper in the Fillmore Room at Norton (Student) Union. We had no idea what we were gonna see. The show literally blew our minds. It was nothing like it turned out to be when he became famous but it was undoubtedly psychedelic! Best part was that the student ticket price was $2.00. We had 4 bucks between the four of us but the lady at the ticket window must have felt sorry for us and gave us 4 tickets "by mistake". So we saw Alice Cooper for a buck.

I listened and think he was pretty upfront and candid TBH. He frankly stated that he expected the run game to be further along by now. On a related note: I listen to PCs from a couple other teams now and then and I don't understand why the Bills can't figure our how to have the reporters' questions be more audible. Other teams seem to have this figured out.

I do this for just about every game. With my DVR, I can easily sync the audio/video. I may be a few seconds behind but it saves SO much mental aggravation during the game. I highly recommend it!

We don't go too often - maybe 3-4 times per year. Usually local but maybe once to either LV or Biloxi. My wife got a wild hair one night and suggested we go the new casino in MN (where we lived at the time). It was Saturday night of Labor day weekend. I sat down at a quarter video poker machine playing to win a car. $1.25 per pull. I hit the Royal on the 8th spin.

That game! 2 week road trip back to Minnie/Wisc (we used to live in Minnie and my wife is from WI.). NFL scheduled the Bills back-2-back at Vikings and at Packers so we just had to do both games. Having lived there for 27 years, I knew a lot of Vikings fans who were extremely confident about their chances that day. Our seats were waaayyy up there and had a bunch of younger MN fans sitting behind us who enjoyed giving us crap all pre-game. They left their seats at halftime and never came back. As others have posted, that game was first time I really thought that JA might finally be the guy. Fantastic post-game party with the Bills Backers of MSP, Kenny, Pancho and the whole crew. Then on to Lambeau with my wife's Wisconsin family. Great experience at Lambeau! Very knowledgeable fans who had no problem poking some good-natured jabs at us. That game was a complete disaster. By early in the second quarter, people around us were asking how the Bills beat the Vikings the week before. My simple answer was: "because the Vikings suck". I received zero disagreement. As bad as they were in GB, nothing could ruin the feeling of the Bills going into the Vikes new building and kicking the snot out of them.

Over here on the west coast, we can get Labatts at any Publix. Even had it on BOGO a couple years back! They've never done that again. Every WNY'er here who I know stocked-up big time! 😂

Thanks Levi! Yeah, we've actually changed our reservations now to Manchester. An extra c-note but looks to be a much better choice. I was also thinking that driving around an unfamiliar town at night after enjoying a beverage or 3 might not be the best decision. So I'm now gonna make Uber my best friend for that night and probably try a couple of places in/near Cohoes. Bye-i Brewing looks like a very promising candidate! It had already caught my eye and the recommendation pretty much seals that deal. Appreciate the info!!! T.

We should all get out more! Lol. Yep, Wolf Rd doesn't look too far from Cohoes. Sounds like a good option for sure. Wish we had additional time to see more. Always happens when we go back to NYS. Never enough time. Thanks for the info!

Appreciate the advice Gugny. I'm always in for really good Mexican food!

My wife & I are doing a trip back home for the Bills/Fishies' game and are going to kill a couple additional birds. We're renting a car in BUF and driving to Albany to see Tab Benoit at Cohoes Music Hall. I've never been to the Albany area and have no ideas on a good place for dinner and a cocktail pre-show. We've also never been to Vermont so we're planning a night in Bennington before heading back to BUF for our Halloween/Bills weekend. For some strange reason, the members of this board are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to great food & adult beverages.😇 Any suggestions in the Albany and Bennington areas are greatly appreciated. Also, if you've ever been to Cohoes Music Hall, how is it as a venue? Thanks!!! T.

Try this link instead Pretty positive analysis.

Thanks for all the input. Yeah, I'm a 5-6 times a year guy. I'll most likely continue to do fresh unless I think I'm going to make wings again in a week or two. I've never gone the peanut oil route and may try it next time.

How many times do you re-use your wing oil before changing to fresh oil? Do you change every time? Or, do you judge by a certain time limit (rather than uses)? I've been using fresh pretty much every time but man, getting a bit pricey!

"Allen's only 24? And he'll be in this division for the next 15 years?!?!"

Wow, this is kinda weird but have to say that I kinda like it. wish I could have had it like this last year...LOL!

Is it somehow just my feed or is anyone else not getting the ESPN announcers audio? Getting crowd noise and studio music but no PXP
