Looking forward to reliving a huge part of my youth growing up in Kenmore during this time. I think I have some unaccounted-for time in my days coming up... 4

That was definitely a good time for sports in WNY !! I wonder if they'll have the fog game at the Aud in the book all those guys skiing around to get it to lift off the ice & The French connection dang they are some good memories i may have to buy the book !!
lookylookyherecomescookie Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 we had season tickets to the Braves in the oranges after a Braves playoff game (I believe against the celtics-pretty sure we lost) the aud let people sleep overnight in the corridors to get standing room only sabre playoff tickets for the next days game (I think against Montreal-overtime win) times have really changed in so many ways 3 1
LABILLBACKER Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Love me some Bob McAdoo. Especially when I got to see him at the forum. Edited March 24, 2020 by LABILLBACKER

I too grew up in Kenmore and recall the early/mid 70's also. 1

Mr. K Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 I had a track coach & teacher (Terrance McAdoo) here in NC who claimed to be a grandson of Bob McAdoos' after learning I was from the area. Never knew if it was true but I always assumed that lying about a 70s basketball player being your grandfather would be something silly. That being said I've always wanted a Braves blue and white, they are still awesome.

We shared season tickets with 3 other families and the 10 home games a year we went to was where dad and I really bonded. I will never forget our ritual of high-fiving after McAdoo's patented jump shots from way down town and after PA announcer Danny Neavereth would celebrate: 'That's TWO for MACaDOOOO!!! Also loved local boy, Buff State star Randy Smith. Those were truly the days! 1 1

They could’ve been the champs after they added Moses Malone but then they did Buffalo things.
