GoBillsRollTide Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Any word yet or projections on who could be going on the wall in 2009? Steve Christie? Pete Metzelaars? Phil Hanson? The Biscuit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRC Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Any word yet or projections on who could be going on the wall in 2009?Steve Christie? Pete Metzelaars? Phil Hanson? The Biscuit? None this year. AFL tribute takes center stage, according to our own Lori, who got it directly from a member of the selection committee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFL tribute takes center stage, according to our own Lori, who got it directly from a member of the selection committee. Interesting, though i am not sure any of the above mentioned players deserve to be on the wall of fame. Maybe Someone who should be added to the bubble list might be Eric Moulds.

The Senator Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 My suggestion would be Van Miller. Mine would be Lou Saban - especially in this 50th Anniversary year. Come on, Ralph - bury the hatchet.... Lou Saban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBillsRollTide Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 I agree that Saban should be up there, but I doubt it is going to happen anytime soon. i think in this order Van Miller 2010, Lou 2011(maybe surprise 2009 with the afl celebration?), James Lofton/The Biscuit I know James was not with the team for a long time but he still deserves it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 My suggestion would be Van Miller. My only issue with Van is one of the clubs is already named for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Disagree with most, agree with some. IMO, Bennett is an absolute. In time -and it may take decades- I think he'll be HOF. I'm positive he would be if he'd stayed here his whole career. Hanson, as well. I still have every game the guy played for us on VHS. It doesn't take an experts' eye to see how instrumental he was -for his entire career! Van -YES! ..and my favorite of all time : Bobby Chandler - our BEST #81!

San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 i agree. I havent seen anyone listed (outside of Van Miller) who should go up. A second vote for Cookie Gilchrist. As the Senator said about Lou Saban, "bury the hatchet Ralph." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
