Although he wasn't with the team yet, I made it to the rockpile as a kid for a game their first year (1960), and have been a fan since. Got onto the field after they won the '64 AFL championship.

lookylookyherecomescookie Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Another great rockpile memory. 1969 home opener was with the jets, they had won super bowl III the previous january. In those days the AFL-NFL rivalry was huge, and as the jets were introduced, they got a standing ovation from the Buffalo crowd for being the first AFL team to win the super bowl. The Bills then went on to lose the game of course. Try to imagine a Bills home crowd giving any visiting team a standing O now, and you'll realize how big the AFL-NFL thing was in those years 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 This is like when I looked at the assessment roll and one house near mine was owned by someone who had the same name as a former NBA player. I drove by his house one day & instead of seeing a 6'8" black guy in the yard, there was a little old white guy. Before seeing the owner, I thought at least it could be the ex-player's son & I could eventually meet the player, but that was never going to happen.

Made even worse by your dubious 1st post, is the fact there are a number of former and current Bills players & team personnel here who wish to remain anonymous.

I'm Spartacus Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Any of you old timers from the 60's, remember every Sunday paper (Courier or Bflo News - can't remember). They had hand drawn pictures of a new Bill each week. I couldn't wait to see who would be featured each week. I cut them out & saved them in a Bills scrap book. I was 6 years old for the Bills first AFL Championship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
