Augie Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Erin go bragh!Or, as our St Patricks Day "float" in our city parade during college said: Erin Go Braless. Our "float" consisted of a Kroger shopping cart with green signs on the outside and a keg of beer on the inside. It was a real parade with some people thinking it was the Rose Bowl Parade. It shocked me we never got booted out.... but we swerved from side to side of the parade route serving thirsty souls. The signs were made by some friends at the local all female college. I don't blame them (I am pro-freedom), and that was one hell of a parade! Sorry, that just caused a brief flashback... Maybe not the most clever, but it was a great day. Maybe when they hold a Bills game in Ireland we will go.Hey, it's close. I try to get to games anywhere near me, and that's about as close as they will get.

maddenboy Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 U able to make it to Bills v. Jags in UK this season? That would be awesome. If you do, you could and should post here about the sights and sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevWarRifleman Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Welcome aboard, and "fasten your seatbelt." It'll be a great ride this year. There's a lot of knowledgeable fans on this board so if you want the good stuff, tune in here. They're way ahead of the writers and talking heads on the national networks. I'll drink a pint to toast your coming aboard. PS: FWIW, I'm not one of those super-knowledgeable Bills fans, just a lifelong fan. Go Bills.

buffalobillsfootball Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Hi All, Happy to finally be posting on here after years of countless lunch breaks, airport layovers, etc. spent reading this site. I grew up in Buffalo, graduated from UB, and worked there for three years, but recently transferred to Ireland a few months ago for work. Although there are a lot more NFL fans here than I expected, it's definitely more difficult to follow the team from over here so I'm looking forward to being an active member on the site and discussing all things Bills with you guys. A few random thoughts before I sign off: 1. I just bought the International NFL Game Pass package yesterday and it's awesome for anyone else who lives abroad. Cost around $180 USD for the year which is steep, but watching the coaches film and condensed games from last season are already making it worth it. Can't wait for RedZone and Game Rewind on Sundays too. 2. Haven't heard the financial terms on Robey's extension yet, but think that's a great signing for us. He was a beast in Pettine's defense and I think he's shown the motor and ball hawking ability to make up for being undersized. 3. Think this defense could realistically be #1 in the league this year. All the major players back plus Darby who sounds like a steal so far (can't teach speed) and arguably better coaching/scheme could add up to even more frustration for opposing teams this fall. Like everyone else, very concerned about the QB competition (or lack thereof), but I think our D will keep us in every game and McCoy and the skill players will make the QB's job much easier than Orton and Manuel had it last year. Looking forward to talking with you all, go Bills! Hey - thanks for posting on the stadium wall! A few of us are heading over to the UK for the Jags/Bills game - checking out Ireland for 6 days and London for 4 days. We've never been to Ireland and wanted to check it out. Have a few questions: 1) I know you've only been over there a few months but have you found a Bills backers bar in Dublin? We will be there a week before the Bills/Jags game in London and would love to watch with other Bills fans! Be even fun to meet another fellow Buffalonian across the pond! 2) Have you explored much of Ireland? We are renting a car and plan to go explore outside Dublin - our tentative plan is to head up to Westport, Galway, Cliffs of Moher, Killarney, and then fly out of Cork to London. Are we taking on too much? Other areas worth exploring? 3) Any must see places in Dublin? Any insight is appreciated. thanks Edited August 10, 2015 by buffalobillsfootball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
