Return of the Blue and Red (8/5 Scrimmage)


yall

Recommended Posts

Personally I like the sound of "Red and Blue" better, but what do I know?

 

So today is the big day! Who is going? Are you tailgating? What are your expectations?

 

I heard they gave out 70k or so tickets, probably we'll see around 40k (unofficial guess )

 

I don't think we're doing a full tailgate but definitely will be having a few cold ones prior to going in.

 

Looking forward to seeing the boys in action today!

  • yall changed the title to Return of the Blue and Red (8/5 Scrimmage)

All week the two morning shows H&J and the Extra Point kept stating as they weren’t sure only the lower bowl would be open.  The article on the main page of TBD mentions 70,000 seats were given away and they have parking free.

 

Thats awesome!  I might even call one of the NFLR shows today just to let them know what fanatics Bills Mafia are and how they support this team.  
 

Last week on his Late Hits show (NFLR We’d nights), Polian was on with Vic Carrucci who normally doesn't cohost with him how special Bills fans are comparatively to the league.  Polian opened the show saying how only GB and maybe the Steelers have fans as rabid as Bills fans.  He pointed out how the Sabres haven’t been relevant in a long time (that was an understatement Amy sister works there) so Buffalo is a Bills city 24/7, 365.

 

It was just so nice hearing him speak so fondly of the Bills and their fans.

I know a lot of the season ticket holders just blindly grabbed six which appeared to be the limit. Granted that benefits me because that's how I got my six (from an out of towner) but I suspect a good number will go unused.

 

Still it's going to be a truckload of people for a practice, and it's a testament to how rabid are fan base really is.

For those of us out of towners, please do a full tailgate 😁

I got tickets and was going to go thinking only a few thousand would probably be there and my disabled ass could handle it.  I dont think I can handle a huge crowd though so I am going to skip it.

Normally, maybe about 10-15 thousand show up for these practices. Sounds like it will be closer to 40 (assuming many tickets go unused), so I am thinking of bailing. Not interested in getting trapped in that big a crowd for a practice.

Yeah, I would love to go but I thought this would be a small training camp type crowd. I have some disabilities that just doesnt do good in big crowds and because of that, I dont go to games anymore.  I was thinking this would be a time I could go see the team.  Its all good though.  I hope people that go have a blast.

Pretty sure today is the lunch meat draft on Schopp and bulldog. 

 

Priorities and all. 

 

sigh. I hate those guys. They spend more time talking about their own lives and stupid stuff and fantasy football then they spend talking about sports.  I did hear that Sal C. was joining them soon and he is at the scrimmage I think.

Don't forget about gambling.  The both of them need to go to gamblers anonymous.

I absolutely LOVE our fans!

 

 

Well, except for a couple of you. It would be rude to name names, so I’ll leave it at that!  :)

 

Your code has been broken!

Looking a tad light in the stands for 70k in outstanding tickets if it starts at 5 (yes, I know, doesn’t mean 70k or anywhere near it will actually show). Then again, those lines to get in looked nuts. 

Official start now is 5:30
