dhgold Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 You've been a Bills fan for too long if... Your seminal sports memory is the Bills losing at home to the Chiefs 31-7 for the right to go the the first Super Bowl. You were unable to watch the game on your family's single black and white TV (presumably because it wasn't broadcast in Buffalo), so you listened to the game on the vacuum tube radio in your parent's bedroom.

One to add..... ....you not only remember Preston Ridlehuber, but you know the two famous plays he was involved in. His name was actually H. Preston Ridlehuber. Getting behind the goal posts for FG's or extra points was an adventure. I actually got the ball once. I got the snot kicked out of me on the way down, but I held on. On the way out, ans usher told me that if I didn't hide it, I wouldn't last a half block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was his freshman year they were heading for the final four and maybe a national championship then he blew out his knee in the tournament. The little three was something back then. They had the two best freshman in the country. Played on the great Niagara teams with Charlie Hoxie, Bo Erias et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started paying attention in the mid 60s just before they got Murphy. That’s when they had Manny Leaks at center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he did let me nip from his flask....he should have let me fight for a football. Greatest post ever on TBD! Man those were some fights in the end zone - you are not only the Egg Man but the Walrus too! Awesome post I love it! Back in a really cool time to be a kid!
