The Senator Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Really, who gives a hoot? Forget freakin' "fandemonium" - it's sooo 1990's, anyway. A vestige of a bygone era, IMO. Time to 'turn the page' - this season, the Bills are... CHAN-TASTIC!!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BYGD1 Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Van's term was "Fandamonium" this "Fandamodium" sounds like a cure for the diareah that ensues after watching your team suck for a decade...

PromoTheRobot Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I would venture to guess Van Miller did not invent the word "fandemonium." I think it was used before he started using it. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BYGD1 Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 It's an opinion, not a correction. PTR Van Miller Signature calls include: "Fandemonium" – often referring to the celebrations after big Bills wins, and "Do you believe it?" after an exciting and often game-changing play. Miller also had a custom-made routine he used when being interviewed on radio shows, in which he called a fictional game in which the host of the show carries the ball just short of the end zone only to fumble on the goal line, after which Miller mocked anguish. Van has a son, Van Miller Jr. a daughter, Catherine Miller, 3 grandchildren. Harrison Miller (Colorado) Lon Miller (Florida) and Leann Miller (Florida) along with 4 great-grandchildren who also reside in Florida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandemonium Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 When the Bills make their triumphant return to the playoffs under coach Gailey, a new era of fandemonium will return to the Ralph, and Van Miller will make a guest appearance in the broadcast booth to declare a state of CHAN-demonium in Bills Nation.

Yeah, "It's FAN-DEMONIUM!" is undisputedly one of Van's signature calls, which by no means implies that Miller was the first to say it. (Unless you think Phil Rizzuto was the very first person ever to utter, "Holy Cow!" ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
