DIE HARD 1967 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Posted October 13, 2010 Funny story. Was that the game that Jim Dunaway scored on a blocked FG attempt? Don't remember, its all a blur now. I remember Butch Byrd running past the sidelines after an interception with that big smile on his face and I remember the shoes, sorry
Another Point of View Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 I remember the shoes but I had great seats
Haven Moses Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 I went to that game when I was a kid. Somebody from that era should have written a book.
Conch Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 debbie downer alert: ok its funny and all, but wasnt it really a pretty dick thing for ron to do? i mean you said - you all only had one pair - you bought your own - youll break your neck if you dont wear them and ron ruins them for you just before kickoff?? again, funny, but really pretty dick. couldnt he have done it before practice or figured out some other prank that wouldnt have left you in trouble minutes before kickoff? what did he expect you to do, did he know youd be able to borrow some (if everybody only had one pair)? i love practical jokes like that but if it were me i woulda been like thats out of bounds dude Plain and simple you are a puss.
JohnC Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 I kind of remember the game, I played pretty good! If I remember right Butch returned an interception for 40 yards and we won 37-35 or something like that! Were you on the team when volatile Lou Saban wanted to cut Cookie Gilchrist on the spot for refusing to go in the game? I have felt for a long time that Lou Saban should be honored by being placed on the Stadium Wall. The peripatetic Saban had his quirks but there is no doubt that he was an important figure in the history of this very troubled franchise. My understanding is that the owner felt that Saban quit on him so that he would never allow that honor to be bestowed on the mercurial HC. What the owner doesn't understand is that LS was just an unusual fellow who always had the impulse to move on.
DIE HARD 1967 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) I will tell you one more story, I attended a high School Football game in South Florida for a neighbors son about 4 years ago. The head coach was an old man in his 80's I guess. He turned around and looked directly at me. He then calls time out and comes up in the crowd one step at a time as the crowd goes quiet, he then receives a 15 yard penalty. The fans boo and the coach just waves his arms and smiles. It was Lou Saban Edited October 13, 2010 by DIE HARD 1967
bowery4 Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 No link, for credit? It is on this site didn't know I had to linky it. And wow Diehard is on a roll I so wish they would of had a championship game against GB Lou vs Vince
Another Point of View Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 So far,this is the best part of the 2010 season
dib Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Same sort of thing happened to me, Julius Caesar stole my sandals and I had to cross the Rubicon in my bare feet. Julius laughed and said he'd thrown my sandals down a well.
mikef292004 Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Well there was this one time........ In Band camp...?
Chandler#81 Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 It is on this site didn't know I had to linky it. And wow Diehard is on a roll I so wish they would of had a championship game against GB Lou vs Vince Fondly recall that era too -better than Diehard, anyway.. I just don't think the '65-'66 Bills could have beaten Vince's Packers. We were huge underdogs in the '65 rematch w/ SD and we lost at home to KC in '66. Now, the '64 team was a superpower! That year, Cleveland won the NFL title. THAT's a championship game I wish would have taken place.
Assquatch Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Big game,1968- New York Jets at Buffalo. The players don't wear cleats till game time. You can break your neck. I hear the introduction for the Bills players and I quickly run for my locker and my cleats are gone!!!! Players had one pair in those days and we bought our own. Oh God, now what? I slip on my black dress shoes and run on the field right as they call my name. McDole is standing on the sideline laughing " I like your new shoes,I left your cleats in the toilet and I flushed that sucker twice!! I borrowed a pair from Abe Abramowski! debbie downer alert: ok its funny and all, but wasnt it really a pretty dick thing for ron to do? i mean you said - you all only had one pair - you bought your own - youll break your neck if you dont wear them and ron ruins them for you just before kickoff?? again, funny, but really pretty dick. couldnt he have done it before practice or figured out some other prank that wouldnt have left you in trouble minutes before kickoff? what did he expect you to do, did he know youd be able to borrow some (if everybody only had one pair)? i love practical jokes like that but if it were me i woulda been like thats out of bounds dude I think he means you'll break your neck if you DO wear them (off the field when they can't dig in) and that's why they weren't on earlier.
dwight in philly Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 I will tell you one more story, I attended a high School Football game in South Florida for a neighbors son about 4 years ago.

It was Lou Saban are you ron mcdole?
Punch Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 are you ron mcdole? Why would Ron McDole steal his own cleats and flush them down the toilet?
dwight in philly Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 wow!, not to create an aura of diversion.. but that is just me..
bowery4 Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Die hard says he was on the Bills from 67 - 72 (I think it was) McDole was a bill from 63 - 1970 he played for Geo. "the time is now" Allen in Washington until 78. He was an Olier before Buffalo drafted in 61. 61-78 pretty long career for a DE. Interesting trivia about Ron: has the most interceptions by a lineman, with 12. Teammate Sonny Jurgensen gave him the nickname "The Dancing Bear" after showing off his moves at a Georgetown nightspot.
BuffaloinLA Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 I kind of remember the game, I played pretty good! If I remember right Butch returned an interception for 40 yards and we won 37-35 or something like that! I was 6 years old, and that was my the first Bills game my dad took me too. We won 37-35 to beat the Jets because we had 3 INT's for TD's including one of 100+ by Tom Janek. That was the year the Jets won the Super Bowl, and that was the Bills' only win the entire year!
Wagon Circler Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Funny story. Was that the game that Jim Dunaway scored on a blocked FG attempt? That was opening day 1967.
Helpmenow Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Max Anderson stole the shoes THEN Ron McDole threw them in the toilet. Billy Masters flushed the actual toilet!! No that was Wayne Patrick, or Bobby Crockett or Dan Daragh or Booth Lustig.
Another Point of View Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 I still want to know what happened to the Shoes?
