  1. posting from my phone...figured you folks could appreciate an update

     

    we got here at about 10am local time...tailgating about 100 yards northwest from the stadium in a huge gravel lot.

     

    about 50 feet away from george wilson's family who travelled up from paducah, ky. they've got a contingent of 75-100. i'm hoping to meet george after the game.

     

    from what i can see around me, 1/2 to 2/3 of the fans are bills fans.

     

    this game promises to be a LOUD one...hopefully the team showed up, because the fans certainly did.

     

    i'll post more when i get home, most likely sometime tomorrow afternoon.

     

    GO BILLS!

  2. Bulger doesn't want to play for Linehan? Is that even relevant, since clearly, Linehan doesn't want Bulger playing for him...otherwise, he wouldn't have benched his ass.

     

    I hope that the Bills pass rush is so ferocious this week that even WE see the stars and little birds flying around Trent Green's head.

  3. To make it truly spontaneous, stop thinking about it, and just do it. 100 miles is nothing. Go for it!

     

    well, no...700 miles TOTAL vs 800 to Orchard Park

     

    I can't be 100% spontaneous, unfortunately, my finances don't allow that (especially after the trip to Jacksonville last week) - I'll have to be somewhat prepared. Lining up a friend of a friend who can let me crash - if that works, next step is to find some cheap tickets (there appear to be plenty on eBay for $15/2 + $15 shipping)

  4. I'm putting the pieces in place for a road trip to St. Louis on Saturday night with an immediate return home right after the game.

     

    St. Louis is actually ~100 miles (round trip) closer to me from Cincinnati than if I were to make the trip to Buffalo.

     

    This won't be the most responsible decision I've ever made, but I'm only young (well, 27 in a month) and single once, right?

     

    Anyone else going?

  5. From the pictures that I took yesterday...

     

     

    Right after the opening kickoff:

    ~12 minutes to go in the 3rd:

    ~4-5 minutes left in the game (this picture was intended to show a large group of Bills fans who were VERY loud at the end of the game):

    All in all, pretty weak crowd.

     

    You can see the tarped off sections in the following pictures:

  6. Those are some nice looking tarps protecting the seats from getting sun bleached.

     

    Yeah, I took a bunch of pictures of those. While I met a few "true" Jaguars fans, the majority really are a fickle bunch...some of the photos towards the end are with 4-8 minutes left in the game, while Jacksonville still had the lead, and the place was 1/2 empty...

     

    pathetic

  7. I'm going with some Navy JAG guys, but to my knowledge, they all bought tickets (they bought a group of 8, which I am included in).

     

    I don't know any of them - my ex girlfriend is a law student and interned w/ them on base this summer - evidently these guys went to law school at Buffalo, so they're all Bills fans.

  8. I'm a McCain supporter and I had that awkward feeling for the first half that I have when Bush speaks...its like I was waiting for him to mispronounce something.

     

    Towards the end though, it got intense and I think he pulled it off.

     

    Regardless, I don't think he's going to win or lose this election in his ability read a teleprompter.

     

    I do think he'll fare much better in the head to head debates - not because Obama isn't a GREAT speaker and will be prepared, but that McCain is very passionate, and like others have stated, shoots from the hip.
