CowgirlsFan Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 In Mexico in the 80´s we used to have just a couple of games a week 2 or 3 maybe with the same teams playing Cowboys, Steelers, SF and Dolphins were the main attractions so I grew up watching Dallas a lot as my dad was a Cowboy fan. I remember that I didn´t want to root for the same teams everybody like, so one day my dad and I were watching Dallas vs Bills in a winter game and I just loved the unis, the cold satdium, you could feel the energy of the fans, and they beat Dallas so from that moment I became a Bills fan for life. Couple of years later they killed us in both Superbowls... Could that game have been in November of 1984?
Golden*Wheels Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I am from Connecticut. I sat down on January 27th, 1991, to watch the Superbowl with my Dad. I was a 10 year old video game geek with no real sports interests, he was an adult computer geek with no real sports interests. But it was the Superbowl and I was really just becoming aware of this thing called sports. We had no loyalties to any team. He said "well I guess it's more fun when you have someone to root for, I'm going to root for the Giants". So I had a choice. Should I root WITH my dad, or AGAINST my dad. I decided rooting against each other made the game more interesting. The rest, as they say, is like the official Bills board. History. FML.
stuvian Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) I can't believe we have fans who aren't from WNY (or their parents). Masochists I tell you. This team and its fans just grew on me and I will probably never shake it in my lifetime. My 1st NFL game was at the Ralph and i feel like a child everytime I go there. If we ever get good again it will be ecstacy (the feeling, not the drug ) Edited March 31, 2017 by stuvian

Augie Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I grew up in WNY, but my sons were born in Hilton Head Island, SC. (Pretty cool.) Moved to Florida when they were young and watched me go through my weekly fits. Saint Mrs Augie would often take them for 3 hour walks on Sundays, with the 2 dogs. Kind neighbors would took them in and gave refuge. It WAS Sunday, after all. When each of my boys turned 16 I took them up for a game at the Ralph, both against the Jets. It seemed like the best chance for a win! Stayed at the Williamsville Hampton Inn and went as part of their employee bus/tailgating outing. Great people from the Hampton Inn!!! Wherever we went, people heard the story and begged us to attend their tailgate. It was so cool and so 'Buffalo". My oldest had been to a Bills/Bucs game in Tampa a few weeks earlier. He said there was ZERO comparison. The best part is I hear (at least by text) from both boys daily, usually about the Bills. Priceless! Best money ever spent!
galept Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Grew up in MD. Mom is from WNY, and I have fond memories of being up there as a kid and watching Bills games with my grandmother. I will love the Buffalo Bills and WNY until the day I die.
BuffaloFan68 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 If we land Williams at WR & Mahomes at QB I just may have to move back! Let's Go Buffalo!!!!!
Antonio Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Could that game have been in November of 1984? It could, I don´t have that good of a memory I was very young. Do you remember that game?
Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 You're perpetually depressed so it made sense?
Ramza86 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Born in Goshen. Mom a Jets fan. Dad a Giants fan. I chose the other team. Ive been dealing with depression ever since. lol
BillsInMaine Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) I was 6 (91') and my mom had grounded me for God knows what. I wanted to watch the Superbowl so I flipped a coin to chose a team as my "favorite". It's about the only thing the Bills have won in my 26 years of being a fan. Just think I was a half rotation away from being a Giants fan. I could have 3 Superbowls under my fan belt. Go Bills! Edited March 31, 2017 by BillsInMaine
CowgirlsFan Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 It could, I don´t have that good of a memory I was very young. Do you remember that game? My son was born on November 16 of 1984. The first football game we watched together in the hospital was November 18. The Bills won 14-3. Iconic that was our first game to watch because I'm now a Bills fan too because my best friend is a HUGE Bills fan.
Threedollabills Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) I grew up on the Michigan border in southern Ontario. Most folks are Lions fans there, but we would get all the Bills games on t.v as well. Although I will always like the Lions and the city of Detroit in general, Jim Kelly's K-Gun offense was something I loved to watch even more than Barry Sanders doing it all alone. I now live in Montreal and most people like the Patriots, nice huh? However, there are lots of Pats-haters up here who tend to be fans of other AFC east teams. Elderly Francophone (French-speaking) Quebeckers tend to cheer for the Dolphins as many spend parts of the winter in the Hollywood area of Florida. VIVRE LES BILLS DE BUFFALO!!!!!! LONG LIVE THE BUFFALO BILLS!!!!!! Edited March 31, 2017 by Marcel99bigdee
