RobynMundyWYO Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 We only have 17 days left to vote for our 50th Anniversary All Star Team. It's time to amp up this event with a contest of our own and have some fun, all in good spirit. Which message board will have more participants VOTE for the correct team of players who will end up being selected? I'm a moderator on the buffalobills.com message board and going to go around to the message boards that I know about and post a thread and see how many members from each board can correctly pick the 50th anniversary team. Remember, the more times you vote, the more likely YOUR team will be selected, so vote often. Let's see which message board has more participants that can pick the exact team who is selected in the end!!! This is serious business, folks Remember, you and your favorite message board's cred and rep is on the line here. Let's have some fun. VOTE FIRST (and often) and then post your team here. Remember this is for bragging rights and I'm curious which message board will post more winning selections. Here's my completed team. GAME ON. HC: Lou Saban. Marv will probably be the sentimental pick but I'm sticking with Lou because he WON two championships with less overall talent. QB: Jim Kelly (no brainer) OL: Kent Hull, Joe DeLamiellure, House Ballard, Reggie McKenzie, Stew Barber. RB: Cookie Gilchrist. Again, OJ or Thurman will probably win but if you ever saw Cookie play, you'd know why he has my vote. WR: Elbert Dubenion, Andre Reed, Eric Moulds TE: Ernie Warlick (by a mile) ST: Steve Tasker (no brainer) K: Steve Christie P: Brian Moorman DL: Bruce Smith, Fred Smerlas, Tom Sestak LB: Mike Stratton, Daryl Talley, Cornelius Bennett, Jim Haslett CB: Butch Byrd, Robert James S: George Saimes, Tony Greene VOTE in the contest and then post your team here. I dare ya. I'm going to have to vote a LOT because some of the younger members probably won't vote for some of the older players I've picked. Proper kudos and bragging rights will go to the message board that wins. Now get voting because you have to VOTE to make it count! Thanks in advance for participating. It's a great time to celebrate our 50th anniversary as the 12th man!!! http://www.channel1media.com/billsvoting/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobynMundyWYO Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Thanks, Lori. I probably should post who I THINK will be selected versus my personal choices. Your list looks like it could be THE ONE that gets picked. But I'm not giving up on some of our oldies but goodies!!! http://www.channel1media.com/billsvoting/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobynMundyWYO Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Bump for day time folks. Please vote if you haven't, and please vote again if you already have voted. And post them here if you dare... So far the biggest miss I'm seeing on the BBMB is that people are ignoring Kent Hull!!! How can anyone NOT vote for Kent Hull? http://www.channel1media.com/billsvoting/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murra Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Can I just say, that as fancy and neat looking that website is, implemented with videos, and graphics, it's absolutely irritating and annoying to vote with, and it's impracticality held my patience for a total of 20 seconds.

RobynMundyWYO Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 Can I just say, that as fancy and neat looking that website is, implemented with videos, and graphics, it's absolutely irritating and annoying to vote with, and it's impracticality held my patience for a total of 20 seconds. I tried to talk the webmaster into add "short version" but they wouldn't relent. Most people don't have nor want to spend THAT much time to vote. Though it was a nice tribute... there should have been a "short option" available to vote, IMO. Thanks for the feedback, seriously. I will pass it on to the webmaster. Coach: MarvQB: Jimbo RB: Thurmal WRs: Andre, Lofton and Chandler TE: Metzelaars OLs: DeLamielleure, Ritcher, Hull, Shaw and Wolford DLs: Bruce, Sestak and Hansen LBs: Biscuit, Stratton, Tracey and Talley CBs: Byrd and Odomes Ss: Saimes and Greene K: Christie -- I really wanted to put Norwood here, but I couldn't P: Moorman ST: Tasker I like this selection and it could prove to be THE winner. LOL, I struggled with Norwood too, but in the end in terms of overall body of work I selected Christie. I am young (34) so my picks will be a bit biased QB: Kelly (though Kemp did win to championships) RB: OJ (was the best) FB: (what about FB?) Jaime Mueller TE: Metzelars WR: Reed, Butler, Moulds OT: Ballard, Wolford G: Ritcher, DeLamielleure C: Hull DL: Smith, Hansen, Lyons, Smerlas LB: Bennett, Conlan, Stratton, talley CB: Odoms, Winfield SS: Henry Jones FS: "Kazoo" (Kelso) K: Norwood P: Moorman ST: Tasker Coach: Saban Another great selection of players. I would have only stood my ground about Ernie Warlick from having seen him play back in the day. If only we had a guy like him NOW!!! Only a couple of more weeks to vote. I know it takes time, but it's the weekend and if you have a chance, just skip the video parts and please vote. We are really close to achieving a voting record for this, so any contribution you can make by voting would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I'm proud and find it very interesting that Lou Saban is getting more votes than I thought he would. Don't know if that is partly because of his recent death, or because more younger people are on board with knowledge about what a GREAT Coach he was for the Bills. No offense intended toward Marv, but Lou was one of a fiery, one of a kind guy who did more with less overall talent in his later years with the Bills.
