The Senator

Can’t imagine what hotels cost. Guess I’ll be glued to my TV! .

It’s on my bucket list, but I don’t know that I’d be able to follow the players around the course for four days. It sure looked beautiful this week for the Augusta Women’s National Amatuer tourney. .

I actually saw more of it than previous years. Great tourney, lots of surprises (Duke, Gonzaga, NC, et al). Sure screwed up lots of folks brackets! . Auburn over UVA would’ve been another great upset! Don’t know how the official missed that double dribble, and no one from Auburn called ‘em out. .

Not such a snoozer in H2! It’d be cool if UB could say they lost to the eventual NCAA Champs. .

Hopefully we get Jack Hughes or Kakko Kaapo in the draft. .

I use oxycodone and morphine

A math teacher that attractive? I most surely would. There’s no holding me back when I reach my local maximum. .

Unfortunately, probably just saved Housley’s job. .

Dammit!!! I was hoping we’d improve our position in the lottery. The Sabres can’t even tank correctly! .

Definitely a double dribble on Ty Jerome. He lost his dribble, ball hit is shoe, he turned around, picked it up, and dribbled again. By rule, a double dribble. Auburn should have got the ball back with 5.4 seconds. The foul on Guy would have never happened. https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/1114683741979336709?s=20 .

Hey, did ya hear Ronnie Harmon got married? Yeah, he did - but there was no reception! .

Maybe it’s you! I met Andre in 1998 at the Grand Wailaia in Maui. My girlfriend and I rented a poolside cabana for the day, and in the lounge chairs right in front if me were Andre, his wife, and a few friends. Like you, I didn’t want to bother him either. It seemed every time his wife or one his friends would go in the pool, some obnoxious fan would approach him and presume to sit in his wife’s lounge chair while talking his ear off. That, plus I was in my 40s, a little too old to collect autographs. But I had two new San Francisco Bills Backers shirts up in my room, and finally giot up the nerve to ask. I went and grabbed a shirt, borrowed a laundry marker from the concierge, aprroached politely, introduced myself, showed him the shirt and asked. He was nice as could be, tickled pink to meet a Bills fan in Hawaii, held up the shirt to show his wife and friends, and signed it ’To The Senator - Best Wishes” Andre Reed #83 Then I had a round of drinks sent to him and his party. Also met Jim Kelly at a bar on Bourbon Street in ‘87 at the Final Four in New Orleans. Again, nice a guy as you could meet. Had a drink with him and Testaverde. Also ran into him on Chippewa a couple of times, and spoke with him at Eddie Brady’s. Didn’t have anything for him to sign, so never asked for his autograph. I’m sure they get tired of all the requests at times, maybe they’re just not in the right mood or want to be left alone. But my experiences with Bills players have all been good. .

They seem to run out of gas after the opening faceoff. .

Nov. 29, 1998 - “Just give it to them”. I was in Foxboro for the game, wearing my Flutie jersey. Never had so my beer bottles and cans hurled at me in my life. The Bills trail all game, but Flutie completes a TD to Reed to take a 21-17 lead late in Q4. With 6 seconds left, Bledsoe throws to Shawn Jefferson, who catches the ball on the 26, but clearly comes down out of bounds. The officials huddle for a while, and one says, “Just give it to them.” Then Bledsoe throws to Terry Glenn in the endzone - it falls incomplete with no time left, but they call interference on Henry Jones. The NFL would later admit the call was a mistake, but the game can’t end on a defensive penalty. Bledsoe throws the winning TD to Ben Coates, game over. Wade was so pissed he took the team to the locker room before the PAT, whereby, with the Bills off the field, Carroll went for 2 points. That point was the difference between a push and the Patriots beating the spread. If that wasn’t a conspiracy and total hose job by the league and the officials, I don’t know what is. I guess the “Music City Miracle” is right up there...clearly a forward lateral...

Unfortunately, they did end on Jan. 1, 1967 .

The field. .

They’ll need someone who can convince the 4 recruits that just ‘de-committed’ to change their minds .

Why do teams think that they’re suddenly ‘badass’ by switching to black uniforms? .

Hey Joe, where you goin’ with that gun in your hand? .

“You miss all the shots you don’t take.” That is one of the most intelligent remarks I’ve read on this board. (I wish someone had told that to UB before the Texas Tech game! I wish someone would tell it to the Sabres. God, I wish someone had said it to Cornell last weekend.) No such thing as ‘too many’ draft picks. Then, after all is done, there are the UDFAs, like Jason Peters. .

“It all starts and ends with the. offensive line. It’s what football is all about. You got huge guys, you got hitting, grabbing, blocking, blood, spit, boogers...I mean that’s football. It’s why they invented the game.”. — Mike Leach .

Why of course, it’s never too early... 19 and 0 baby!!!! GO BILLSSS!!!! ?????? .

My Good Great God Almighty, thank You that the draft is only 3 weeks away! .

Folks just don’t realize, the most problematic part of renovating the current stadium is widening the concourses and adding more restrooms, which simpy cannot be done without tearing down the perimeter walls. You cannot expand the concourses on the inside - you have to do it on the outside. Once you accept that incontrovertible fact, you’ll understand that we’d essentially be building a new stadium, and it’d be quicker to just build a new one downtown. .
