McCargo played on the same defense and lined up right next to Mario Williams. The Bills scouts may have seen something about him on film that they liked while they were looking at Williams.

Van Miller did Niagara games. Charley Bailey did Canisius games. I'll always remember 1970 St. Bona basketball team: Lanier, Gary, Gantt, Satilin, Kalbaugh, Kull, Klimkowski, and the garbageman Johnny Hayes!

Early Sunday mornings rushing downstairs to get first stab at the Courier Express sports section to read the reports on the Sabres and Braves from the night before and the previews on the Bills and Sabres games to be played later in the day. It was a golden era. We couldn't afford to go to games so the newspapers, the radios and the tv (when it worked) were my eyes and ears to Buffalo sports. Many of those news articles I clipped out and put into scrapbooks that I have to this day. We only got the Courier on Sundays but we did get the Buffalo Evening News. I used to pick through the neighbors garbage on Wednesday nights (garbage nights) so I could get the weekday Courier sports sections. My family doesn't know any of that. I used to have boxes of sports sections in my bedroom. My room smelled liked newsprint. It kept my sisters out!
Van Miller did the Braves games with Ralph Hubbell doing courtside reports. Van was also on Channnel 4 sports. TV back then was less on youth and good looks and more on serious, quality journalists. I believe Van did some Canisius basketball games as well? I used to listen to the Sabres on one radio and the Braves on the other. And if I fell asleep with one or both radios on I used to catch hell. Van used to do the Bills games with Dick Rifenberg and Stan Barron. I used to stay glued to the radio for Stan Barron's show on WBEN radio for his "free formed" sports reports. It was Stan or wait until the paper came the next day.

Felser speculated on WGR this morning that Marv ment the GM's job, not the HC.
Marv was the GM of Montreal in the CFL before he came to Buffalo.

I noticed Harry Jacobs ( the Baby-Faced Assassin) in the beginning of the video talking to Joe Collier, the Defensive Coordinator, and Paul Costa and Ernie Warlick. FYI, the color analyst for this video, George Ratterman, was the starting QB for the Buffalo Bisons football team, of the All America Conference in the mid to late 1940’s. Thanks for posting. I remember watching this game and becoming a Bills fan that day!
