[NFL Throwback: Top 10 Draft Classes of All Time]

You forgot to include Tony Eason and Art Schlichter as notables for the 1983 draft

[Buffalo Bills Legends Who Don't Look Right In Another Team's Jersey...]

Another old school

[No Sabres Games on DirecTv!!!]

While it has little impact on me since I live in Memphis, things like this make me happy that after 5 years as a DirecTv subscriber I sent them packing a week ago and had cable installed yesterday. I'll subscribe to Center Ice as soon as the free preview ends.

[TKO is the best linebacker the Bills ever had]

Tom Cousineau and Walt Patulski were the two best in my eyes.

Wasn't Patulski a defensive end or has my memory failed me?

[TKO is the best linebacker the Bills ever had]

I hope someone else added Mike Stratton to this debate before I did. He was top notch for an unbelievable defense in a high scorring, gun slinging AFL.

[Buffalo Brew Pub]

I miss the Ground Round!

I was at a great little bar in Cleveland a couple of weeks ago that had peanuts for us to discard the shells on the floor. I was reminiscing that I hadn't done that since I was in a Ground Round nearly, whoops, make that over 20 years ago!

[When seeing the BILLS today]

ExNorthBuffaloLad - Love the Bisons bottlecap logo - it brings back alot of fond memories!

[When seeing the BILLS today]

It'll be the first time since 9th Dec 1973 we'll have worn that blue jersey w/ that helmet

 

We won that day, beating New England 37-13 at RICH ...

 

The following week we closed the season beating the NY Jets 34-14 at Shea Stadium, but wore white jerseys with blue pants .. same helmet as we'll have on today

 

and ...

 

Last time we wore them for a home opener was 1973, against NY Jets, we won 9-7 on 30th Sep 1973

 

another win in them beckons today lads ...

[Has anyone here been in the Peace Corp?]

I know several people who have been in the Peace Corps. Opinions range from hate to love & devotion. You might do some research on the internet - many have "alumni" groups who call themselves Returned Peace Corps Volunteers. Look for articles on or by "RPCV" Good luck - I wish I did it after college.

[Question about Jeff Burris]

I could be wrong but my recollection is that when Burris got to the Colts he was unhappy and essentially admitted that he made a mistake when he left the Bills for "merely" money reasons.

[The Bills most cursed number]

Without being objective and looking at actual statistics I'll always think of Dan Darraugh as the worst qb in Bills history.

[The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardobe]

Someone gave me a copy of "The Screwtape Letters" recently and I got to page 15. I hate allegory, and especially religious allegory. I don't know but his children's books don't seem much better to me.

I saw it years ago onstage at Niagara on the Lake. As much as I love theater, I simply didn't understand the Chronicles of Narnia. I guess I'm a little too simple for CS Lewis!

[Bob McAdoo for two!]

Bob Kaufman anybody? That name must bring back memories for some of you former Braves fans.

362336[/snapback]

 

 

It does for me - I remember him as the Braves best player the first year or two of the franchise. As a 9 year old I thought he also owned the bakey on Main I'd pass with Dad on our way to the Aud!

[Amerks lose 5-4]

where on the net?

 

27-12 in shots after 2 - sounds as if the amerrks are dominating.

Go to www.amerks.com and click on the "listen live" button for game 4 wed. It leads you to a link for whtk rochester. Enjoy!

[Amerks lose 5-4]

I'm listening to the game on the 'net. At least its playoff hockey. Big game - the Amerks need to regain home ice.

[Anyone have camp experience?]

Another Camp Turner grad here. I went for 2 or 3 consecutive years in the 69-72 time period. I loved it. If I recall correctly for the youngest it was one week and you had a two week option as you got older. A few years ago I found a Camp Turner coffee mug in the attic as we were moving. Still have it at the office.

[What are your plans for the Draft?]

I'll be fishing the White river in Ark, drinking beer, and looking forward to the recap on ESPNews!

[Test for Transplanted Yankees]

48% (yankee) - barely holding on to yankee. I guess that's what 22 years trying cases in Memphis does to me!

[SUW: Beach Songs]

must adds are anything by Jimmy Cliff and anything by Byron Lee & the Dragonairres.

[First Bills game you went to?]

Nov. 1969 at the Rockpile.

 

Bills 28 Fish 3!

 

Little did I know that I'd go from an 8 yo to a college student before we beat the Fish again

[If you went to college]

BA - Univ of Rochester '83

JD - Memphis St. '86

[all time worst season by a bills qb ever]

I am ashamed to say that I once sat in Rich Stadium chanting...

 

Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...Marangi...

Not only do I remember doing it - I remember doing it late in the game, freezing my tail off! The sensible fans were all long on the way home!

[all time worst season by a bills qb ever]

Welcome to the reason so many of us "old timers" aren't ready to slit our wrists after a 9-7 season. 

265573[/snapback]

 

 

You said it - I expected to see Dan Darraugh from the title, I remember siting in Rich stadium screaming for Marangi to play. You always love the backup when things are going bad!

[Something I've noticed about the Buffalo News]

If they were truly sports journalists, the name of their alma mater shouldn't matter!

 

As someone who moved out of WNY in 1983 I am still caught off guard when I hear "Buffalo basketball" mentioned nationally. I remember UB as a Div. III program. If they really aren't being covered the News should be blasted - the "Little Three" unfortunately is a thing of the past.
