_BiB_ Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 I'm at a convention in Florida this week. CALSPAN-UB has an exhibit. I go to make some conversation, start off with-I'm surprised to see some Bills Fans in Tampa. The immediate response was "We're bandwagon fans". I really hope they were kidding.

_BiB_ Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 lots of bills fans in tampa 161611[/snapback] I know, I was out eating Grouper Sammiches with one last night. That was more of a "Hi Buffalo guys" type of thing. I was just surprised at such a quick response. Is that some sort of a local joke now? Most local Bills fans I know or knew were never fair weather bandwagon fans. We ended up talking Buffalo politics and the old Calspan across from the airport that, so I never got around to asking.

I think they went through some iterations and finally got bought out by General Dynamics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_BiB_ Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 Was GD gobbled up by LockMart? 161719[/snapback] I wouldn't know without a serious Google. Thanks to the new homeland defense gold rush, a lot of companies seem to be popping up, and others reorganizing, shedding and re-assimilating. I'm not on the business side of it anymore, and don't worry about procurement, so I haven't been keeping up. I do sense that there have been a lot of changes in the last year.
