SWVABillsFan Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) From Rochester, New York to Honaker, Virginia where Heath Miller #83 TE for the Steelers played his high school ball. Heath played baseball in high school and here is a fact, while in his high school career of playing baseball Heath was only struck out once. Was a QB in high school and went to UVA because VT wanted to make a TE out of him, he goes to UVA and they make a TE out of him; go figure. Hello from Honaker (ho-nay-ker).

DonQ67 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 From the east end of Long Island...Became a Bills fan to be different from my dad (Jets) and brother (Giants). Now living in Myrtle Beach SC. Crazy amount of Steeler fans here and lots of steeler bars. They drive me nuts. I don't know what is worse a Steelers fan, Yankees fan of Phillies fan.

chaccof Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/user/1194-exwnyer/ Â Too funny - I also dated a girl from North Collins that went to Fredonia State. I also lived in the West End of Richmond for a while. I still live in the Short Pump area of Richmond and went to Fredonia State (for a year)....no North Collins connection though....

Cookiemonster Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Pittsburgh, Pa, left Buffalo (Lakeview) for Florida in 1970, and then relocated to Pa in 1975. I was only 10 when we left, but remember watching the Bills with family during their glory days. Then we got O.J. around the same time and I was hooked for life.Say what you want about the man, but nobody outside of maybe Barry Sanders was more exciting to watch run. From the cops or otherwise. Â Funny how the Dolphins were good the whole time in Fla, and then the Stillers the whole time I have been here, I need to move back to Buffalo!!!

ExWNYer Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Ray you dirty dog!   Give our condolences to Drayton…  Seriously though, besides the fact that the vast majority of respondents in this thread are "Buffalo ex-pats" or even people who had "the curse" passed down from family, another interesting feature is that there are a lot of lurkers weighing in… people who rarely post.  Anyways, these threads (where to eat in WNY, what to do in WNY, Best Bills game experience) tend to be the most interesting because among other reasons, you learn a little something about the people you see post here. Dirty dog, Bob? Moi?  I agree with your take on this thread. It's very interesting that a lot of "lurkers" are chiming in on this...a lot of names I've either never seen or haven't seen in quite a while. That coupled with the fact that you learn many fascinating tidbits about fellow Bills fans has me loving this thread. These are always my favorite types of off season conversations. Kudos to the OP!  Curious...fellow fredonia grad...lived in richmond for 18 years...knew several richmond area fredonia grads...any of them in the mid to upper 40 year old range? That would be all concerned, Pooj. The one who went to Fredonia for the first two years (from North Collins) is the same age as me, 48. The other girl is from Olean and is a couple of years younger (45 or 46). Haven't seen the former since '86, the latter since '93. Basically, a lifetime ago.  BTW, I have two other Fredonia connections. My dad went there for a semester in 1960 before joining the Air Force. My aunt in Jamestown (his sister) graduated from there in the '60s. I used to attend training camp there every chance I got. My grandmother lived just up the road in Dunkirk on the corner of W. 7th Street & Brigham Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
