What were you doing in 1993?

Freshman year of UB.

 

I puked on a table at the Subway across from the Metro Rail on Main one night after PJ Bottoms.  I was definitely “that guy” for a while.

 

Live & learn! (and don’t order a meatball bomber on a belly full of Golden Anniversary!)


I have also thrown up in that subway. All over the wall near the woman’s room. Someone was in the men’s.

It’s all relative my dude. Young at heart. Old in the knee bones.

 

I was also driving an 85 Chevy Cavalier and working at Structure. None of which even exist anymore.

I’m actually wearing a structure shirt today. I have no idea where it came from but it fits

Just graduated university, first real job but having lots of fun with the nightlife on weekends. . No worries in life really, no stresses. 1993 was probably the pinnacle of my 20's because real life was really starting to make itself known after that.

 

The Bills were still awesome that season (even though the cracks were starting to show). It broke my heart that group never won a SB they deserved at least 2/4 if not all 4 had they prepared better for the games.

I'm gonna guess it came from Structure?

 

Before Structure I worked at a Chess King, lol!  Lmk if any gems from that classy joint show up in your wardrobe!!

 

Then I discovered the restaurant industry is where the money and the chicks were. Never worked retail again.

maybe that particular car does not exist but there are still 85 Chevy Cavaliers for sale:

In that year I was living in my first home in Soviet Socialist Republic of Reston.  Was so glad to get out of there two years later although I still hold the mortgage as lender.

 

On game day when game was not on TV (rare) I was listening to game when I could get station on radio on.

I remember November 1993 well. I was 30, living in Atlanta and busy running my business and travelling the world. That month, I met a girl in the Atlanta Airport on a Friday night return. We married 3 years later.

 

27 years later, we have 3 kids and the Bills haven't won a playoff game since. I don't blame her...much.

😂😂 yeah but how I got it is the mystery. I’m pretty sure structure was closed before I was big enough to fit it. 
 

I was the same way. Started in retail and got into restaurant and never looked back

We were in our glory having a 3x SB team and still the best team in the AFC by a lot.......and having beaten Dallas in Dallas early in the season.......and heading toward another season of home field advantage throughout.   The feeling was that the team had matured and ready to close the deal in SBXXVIII.    There was a lot of genuine despisal of Ralph from the 50+ crowd back then but in general it was very upbeat.

 

I had just started dating my future wife and we were just getting our training in real tailgate hosting from the man Chaz in Cleveland(for WGR listeners) who put out a real gourmet spread at pole 6 in lot 1 and always invited us free loaders.   He can't make it up to the games anymore but still calls and texts during the tailgate and the games.   On the way home from games we would listen to @Bill from NYCcall into the postgame show and the new host Chuck Dickerson.

 

I feel bad for all the younger Bills fans that have no idea what it is to be the front runner franchise in the conference and all the euphoria around those years and how fun being a young adult was at that time.    It was surreal.  

 

As you get older you experience time much faster but when you are young the losing seems interminable and a whole generation of Bills fans either had to endure it or ignore it for two decades. 

 

The same people who preached patience and apologized for the organization on TSW as 30-40 year olds during the drought were the ones who thought the mid 80's were the height of suffering as a Bills fan. 15 years into the drought we still had nozzles talking about "you don't know what 1984-1985 was like!".  It was like 2 years of not winning is what it was like.:rolleyes:
