oldmanfan Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Always good to have another AFL veteran around here. Was just shy of 5 years old when I sat at the first ever game in the Rockpile in 1960. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cripple Creek Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Bunch of old farts around here. Maybe we can request a special forum for you codgers. We’ll call it “Get off my lawn!” All y’all can hang out there talking about the good old days and how much harder you had it growing up. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey don’t forget we had it harder AND the world was better too. My 3 millennial kids like that part of the story. Gotto go now and change the spark plugs in my Chevy, mow the lawn in a new direction, put a washer in my faucet, listen to some records, and catch the Gillian’s Island reruns. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, but it's supposed to be a Ford and a Gran Torino. Do you still set you points with a matchbook cover ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's commitment Plenty of people think I should be committed. Most people are incredulous when I tell them I'm a season ticket holder and drive six and a half hours one way for games. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, not even close. Watched Lamonica spank the Bills. I had to look up the score to remember. Oakland Raiders - 48, Buffalo Bills - 6. It was still fun just experiencing something like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 At that game too; many do not realize the impact of Joe Willie guaranteeing the win and then following through! Standing ovation for a couple of minutes for the hated Jets! Great stuff! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
