3rdand12 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Bull Run @UBBullRun 17m Buffalo Bills take free agent receiver Fred Lee into their rookie camp #BillsMafia @BuffRumblings http://sbn.to/1jMZUaf Good story man !Ever think Bills are trying to develop the UB football program ? Creating some good partners and some mentoring of sorts. not quite a farm team but something along those lines. Thanks for the linky Y O. Ps has anyone noticed more activity this offseason or is it just more thorough reporting ? Or is it my kool aid talking I was going to ask if he was related to ole' Rah-Rah MacPherson, but you already clarified that. Rah Rah ? do tell Mark..

bbb Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Rah Rah ? do tell Mark.. His grandfather is Dick MacPherson. He is beloved in Syracuse. After a rough start, he turned around the team in 1987, and they had a stretch of good football under him and Paul P. He was exactly that - rah rah - jumping around, etc. I met him once and he was a great guy. The rah rah thing didn't really play well when he unexpectedly went from SU to the Patriots............But, I went to the game in Foxboro in 1991 when we only lost 2 games that counted and that was one of them. And, they sucked...........And, it was the one time that I hated him for jumping for joy as they're leaving the field! Haha He always seemed like a smallish guy. It's odd to me that his grandson is a huge lineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 No problem! I'm pretty sure he still does the color on the SU games. He must have loved having his grandson out there. Here's typical Coach Mac: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
