The Savannah Bananas would like a word...

Christmas Day 1993, on the eve of what would then be the coldest game in Bills history, the team put out a call for people to come clear the stadium of snow for the next day's game. Many showed up, for the maybe $10/hour shift. most really needing the money and many without proper winter attire. After practice, seeing the dozens of people clearing the stadium, Marv went into the Bills locker room and rounded up coats, hats, and gloves for the many workers without. I went to the game the next day and it was indeed a bone-chilling cold...and a hard fought division clinching win against the Jets. While the game was indeed memorable, the biggest take-away for me was the thoughtfulness and generosity Marv exhibited the day before.

Great topic and shared anecdotes. Should be pinned until Marv’s birthday.

I wouldn't doubt it...Ralph is cheap.

Within two years, we'll either be in WNY or the Gettysburg, PA area.

From 1968-1972, Raiders were my AFL/AFC team...always on TV, exciting offense, etc. Watched OJ run for 250 yards in the 1973 opener, went to the first home game at the new Rich Stadium on Sept. 30, 1973, and have never looked back.

To me, it looks like a taco holder...

Exactly. I've had some tell me the Kincaid drop was a harder catch than the Ronnie Harmon debacle. I disagree. An NFL receiver has to come up with that ball.

Eddie Haskell was a regular on LITB, but Lumpy always brought a strong game whenever he was called upon.

Agree on Luger; Levine (as Insp. Luger often times referred to him as) and Nick Yemana were regular cast members.

More fodder for the Hard Knocks cameras...

Bills did win a wildcard game in 1981 at the Jets.

Yes, there were several opportunities to spike the ball and conserve some time...but it worked out perfectly.

With former Fish Jimmy Cefalo on color...I'm sure he was none too pleased. Sorry, not sorry.

I'm rooting for a real long shot, UDFA Stephen Gosnell from Virginia Tech. I've watched him the last few years, and he was grossly underutilized at Tech, mainly because they didn't have a QB that could get him the ball. He's wearing Steve Tasker's number, so maybe that's a good omen.

On the other hand, training camp at SJF looks now to be a long-term deal. https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/2025/06/24/hard-knocks-to-bring-large-crew-to-bills-camp-at-st-john-fisher/84320903007/

News from 1978 😄 Wanted to see Goo Goo Dolls at Wolf Trap, Virginia next month...sold out. Ok, went to the aftermarket sites, $200+ for the lawn...ouch!

When I signed up with the military/etc. Red Zone option last week, it gave me the option to pay $20/12 months or the whole $240.

Seriously. Move the "I'm a better human" vs. "I'm a better capitalist" to another board.

This was very helpful. Thank you!

I had this double album when it came out in 1974.
