  1. if you live in western new york, there is a lot of snow so be careful people because it might be good for the cops to bust drunk people on a snowy day. But I am going to MacGregors, because today its the last day before they close down for a month :lol: but happy st patricks day and cheers :thumbsup:

     

     

    A fellow Rochestarian I assume. We are hitting the MacGregors in Henrietta for dinner to start out the night. Isn't MACGregors Scottish?

  2. Until the WNSA fiasco, they weren't even the best sports station in Buffalo let alone the country. God I miss 107.7! You could put static on the air with a bills update every 5 minutes and a ton of people in this area would listen. People love their sports here and have no other options than WGR. Mike Schopp is one of the people I would love to meet in a bar and and find out if he is as tough in person as he is behind a microphone. I never understood how a guy who openly hates football and the Bills has a job at a Buffalo sports station.

  3. I put down my deposit last month and was kinda surprised I couldn't do a little better then row 15 on the tunnel end of the 20yrd line. My goal was get as low as possible in upper deck and be on the Bills side.

    The lowest row that was available on either side was row 4 in 329. I like row 4, but felt it was too close to the end, past the endzone. Some will say take the visitors side because of the sun, but I truly feel out of place if I am not on the Bills side. I was told 331 will be around the 20-25yrd line and it was the best available at the time. Chris from the Bills ticket office was very cool and patient with me on the phone.

    Does anyone on the board sit in this section or near me - 331 row 15???

    I live in Charlotte, so most games will be available for sale. My email is Hugebillsfan1@yahoo.com

    One last point, if I can buy seasons to support this team while living 600 miles away, so can some of you!!!!!! At this point, I could care less how many games I attend or if some don't get used. It just feels good to have season tickets again.

    Congrats! I sat in 331 for 1 season and the seats were pretty good. I like that side of the stadium because you do not have the sun in your face. We were upgraded 2 years ago to section 334 row 8(45 yard line), so keep putting your name in for upgrade every year and you may get lucky. You are definately on the right end of the stadium with the new scoreboard going in at the other end.

  4. I think it could get very entertaining when Willis returns. What are your best sign ideas?

     

    "If you can read this sign...You are smarter than Willis"

     

    "McGahee, more baby mommas than touchdowns"

     

    "Hey Willis, It's 1:00pm, do you know where your kids are?"

    (old safety slogan from the 80's I believe)

     

    "Willis, your sperm ran for more than 1000 yards, why can't you?"

  5. I have just seen one and have seen them on here before....if you decide to NOT renew your season tickets, there is no reason to put it on here...we do not care...if you make the decision to not renew then do it...you do not need to announce it to the world, as we do not care...are you going to let us know when your decide to cancel your cable, netflix subscription, or your cell phone....ok rant over

     

     

    Couldn't agree more. Unless you have 3 seats in front of my current seats that I can upgrade to, I don't care one bit about your tickets!

  6. I'm a lifelong fan and will always love the Bills but I'm choosing to not give them my money this season. Here's why:

     

    1. "Cash to cap"- makes good financial sense on paper until it's completely contradicted by a reported $23 million dollar contract being awarded to a 2nd tier defensive lineman. It also made no sense to go public with the whole "cash to cap" approach, it basically sent a message to the outside world of "hey, we're poor so don't come here looking for work cuz we can't pay you much" If the Bills wanted to have this approach then that's fine but why tell the entire world about it at a press conference, why not just say that "we will be running our institution in a fiscally responsible manner and we are looking to build a winner"? No other team has complained as much lately about money issues as the Bills and old Ralphie have.

     

    2. The whole Willis fiasco, why the PHUK is Dick Jauron speaking to the media about a potential Willis trade? Who failed to tell him that it's a taboo subject? And why the PHUK did it ever get so public in the 1st place, now there are articles surfacing about him not knowing basic running plays, etc etc. His value is declining each day. I'd venture a guess and say that the Bills will get a 5th rounder for him or they will have to outright release him because if a trade is rejected he certainly won't want to play for the Bills. It will be a total loss.

     

    3. Marv's approach of building a winning team through the draft is very noble but given that it takes 3-5 years to build a great player then the Bills will always be drafting replacements for their unrestricted free agents who want to go play where there is more money. Building a solid core of veteran players seems impossible under this approach.

     

    I write all this in hopes that I am wrong and that all of these "approaches" work out and prove me to be the dumbest poster ever on TBD, I will renew tickets once I feel that this organization is going in the right direction.

     

     

    You seem like the optimistic, friendly type that will be sorely missed by your section! Bye.

  7. To all the old regulars of this board, ie: Bill in NYC, Mead, End zone crew, Cablelady et al..

    Hi guys! missed talking to you, how ya all been doin? I can't believe this forum has 6000+ members!

    That's great! Too bad about 5000 or so have nothing to contribute but alot of verbal diarrhea and negative comments about our beloved Marv Levy and founder Ralph Wilson. I find it deplorable that these "johnny come lately" so-called fans of this team have the unmitigated gaul to question either their motives or intentions where the success of this team is concerned. They are probably too young to remember the Kelly, Thurman, Bruce era of football around there and the spirit that encapsulated Buffalo at that time, but I will say to those little pi#$ ants, " No-one wants a championship in Buffalo more than RW, Marv, or Jim Kelly... NO-ONE!" So before you start lipping off about how Ralph's too cheap, Marv's too stupid, and this team is always mediocre every year...Blah! Blah! Blah! Wait till you've earned that place to open your trap! I turned 38 last week, (Thanks for the Birthday message Mead, I got it) That makes me a 28 year fan of these Bills, and when the guys at work tease me about my many Bills caps, jerseys etc. and for being a Bills fan, I smile and say, "Who is going to appreciate a Buffalo Bills Superbowl victory more than a lifelong Bills fan?"

     

     

    Wow, another "I'm a bigger fan than you" post. I can't believe this board survived without your insight these last few years!

  8. I think I finally let the beer cans stack up enough in the garage! My wife actually suggested we get a kegerator. I think I will be getting a nice one that you can put in the kitchen, not the franken-rators made out of old refrigerators. Hell I would have been more than happy to put one of those in the basement or garage. Anyone have any suggestions on brand or what to look for?

  9. 23% increase for section 334! Not too happy, but I guess I can't complain too much since it is still cheaper than parking at foxboro! I also got really lucky and somehow managed to get seats on the 45 yard line in the 9th row with only 3 years of senoirity (in 2004).

     

    I thought we might see a big increase in the # of season ticket holders this offseason, but I'm not sure now. How many people will refuse to renew based on this increase?

  10. I will be renewing mine as soon as I get the letter. Hopefully have convinced several other friends that just came to a game or two to take the plunge too. It is amazing what a great day of food, beer and football will do for the marketing effort! I would not be surprised to see 10,000 more season ticket holders this year compared to last.

  11. I can kinda understand reading Playboy for the articles, but if you're buying Penthouse I don't think you're the kinda guy who does much reading.

     

     

    Unfortunately I didn't have any pictures to go along with the story. I saw it on twobillsdrive.com. Perhaps throwing in some clothing challenged girls would have made the article easier to take.

  12. Maybe what he was saying is that, IF the Bills were going to move (and that already was a given), the best place to move would be Toronto (as opposed to LA) because that would be best for Bills fans in Buffalo.

     

    My family has been season ticket holders since day one. After my Dad died 20 years ago, I have continued to be a season ticket holder (even though I live all the way down here in Miami). If anyone had a reason to be offended by a comment regarding moving the Bills, it would be me.

     

    The difference is that I am not going out of my way to be offended by a remark that is not being read by most of you in context. He said that he loves Buffalo. He thanks God about the situation. He wants to make the fans proud. The guy played half the season with three bad ribs and a bum ankle.

     

    You negative nancy keyboard jockies really need to get a life.

     

     

    From now on I will be sure to check with you before I get offended. After all if you are not offended by this remark I have no right to be.

  13. :D

    This quote must have been missed?! It's the best thing I've ever seen him say about Buffalo.

     

    "I got a lotta love for Buffalo," he said. "I thank God for the whole situation. I'm trying to make them proud. I'm trying to do some things here."

     

    ---Chknwing, stop the name calling or we might have to run you and your gun toting, NRA lovin' kind of this here board. YEEEHAWWW

     

     

    You are going to run me off this board? Good one tough guy! I always get a kick out of the guys who make threats on chat board.

     

    Just because Willis makes a good comment, doesn't mean nobody can take issue with other comments. The guy should know that as a member of the Bills, his comment about moving the team to Toronto would be met with anger...no matter what his intent was.

  14. If I remember correctly, this is the same frat that sponsored Springfest every year.

     

    Good times. :D

     

     

    Actually I think it was TKE that sponsored Springfest...At least back when I went there. I knew a lot of the Sigma Gamma guys and they were definately not in it for the charity. Nobody Joins a Fraternity to do good deeds. We "adopted a highway" and bowled with the mentally handicapped organization, but it all turned in to a drunken good time. Oswego has always been a town of Townies vs college kids. I couldn't imagine a better place to go to college, or a worse place to live.

  15. I don't see the big deal with this, he just said Toronto's a beautiful place and rather than getting another team there it should be the Bills, it's nothing against the fans or Buffalo, he just prefers the city of Toronto to Buffalo, like almost anyone in the world would.

     

    But then when he says: "I got a lotta love for Buffalo," he said. "I thank God for the whole situation. I'm trying to make them proud. I'm trying to do some things here."

     

    He gets no credit for that, nobody's making a new thread about that. He's right about what he said when talking about Bills fans in general: "A true Buffalo fan will tell a Bills player, 'You can't do this, you can't do that.' But once that player performs it's like, 'I told y'all he was the best player.'"

     

     

    He's got so much love for Buffalo that he thinks they should lose their football team?

     

    Sorry I upset you Mr. Rosenhaus.
