Looking forward to reliving a huge part of my youth growing up in Kenmore during this time. I think I have some unaccounted-for time in my days coming up... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was definitely a good time for sports in WNY !! I wonder if they'll have the fog game at the Aud in the book all those guys skiing around to get it to lift off the ice & The French connection dang they are some good memories i may have to buy the book !!

lookylookyherecomescookie Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 we had season tickets to the Braves in the oranges after a Braves playoff game (I believe against the celtics-pretty sure we lost) the aud let people sleep overnight in the corridors to get standing room only sabre playoff tickets for the next days game (I think against Montreal-overtime win) times have really changed in so many ways 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. K Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I had a track coach & teacher (Terrance McAdoo) here in NC who claimed to be a grandson of Bob McAdoos' after learning I was from the area. Never knew if it was true but I always assumed that lying about a 70s basketball player being your grandfather would be something silly. That being said I've always wanted a Braves blue and white, they are still awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shared season tickets with 3 other families and the 10 home games a year we went to was where dad and I really bonded. I will never forget our ritual of high-fiving after McAdoo's patented jump shots from way down town and after PA announcer Danny Neavereth would celebrate: 'That's TWO for MACaDOOOO!!! Also loved local boy, Buff State star Randy Smith. Those were truly the days! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could’ve been the champs after they added Moses Malone but then they did Buffalo things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
