BearNorth Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) Alas I am a plank holder. born in 1948, I was 12 when the Bills played their first game. Remember we used to go to Saturday night games in the Rockpile on a school bus and tickets were $1. I remember going to a playoff game in '63 vs. the Patsies and the $6 ticket was my must have Christmas present. Our seats were in the bleachers at War Memorial and the seats were garbage can impressions in the foot of snow that had fallen that week. Also got to see Cookie run for 243 yards and 5 td's [54.5 fantasy points] vs. the Jets in a mosh pit. That game guaranteed the Jets got the draft pick to select Joe Namath.

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.

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...
