OP, that was an awesome write up. I read this forum everyday, and RARELY post.
I am from Indiana, a 30+ yrs Bills fan. Family and work make it difficult for me to make it to home games, I have only been to 3.....all loses! The first one being the opening day last second TD (not TD) by Jacksonville, the last being the Kevin Everett game.
As I read your post, about the game, the trip home, I could just imagine how great of a feeling that must have been!!
As I said, I am in a situation that i cannot attend a lot of home games, but trust me... people in Buffalo..the struggles for the last few (17) years are felt just as hard from a distance. But, to be able to feel the joy of not only a win, in person, but possibly a resurgence of Bills football is something that i would love to be able to experience with y"all!!
There is love for the Bills WAY farther away than the Buffalo area, and to be able to read something this "feel good" kinda makes me ......feel good!
There is a lot of nit-picking and bickering on this board, but you Buffalo folks should feel GREAT to be able to experience these things first hand!!! Imagine being a Bills fan in the middle of Indiana that doesn't even know another Bills fan to talk to!!!!!!
Imagine having the love for the Bills and can't even have an intelligent conversation about them!! The best conversation I have had about them is when I went to Panama City Beach this past September. with the bartender!! (Shuckem's!...great dude!)
And thanks again Shaw...your write up is one of the things i look forward to every week!
ROCK ON BILLS!!!!
