SDS Posted March 5 Posted March 5 I would like to start discussing things we should do this September for the 25th Anniversary Tailgate... Current ideas: Shirts with a 25th logo Looking at a Dinner Cruise Golf tournament Bottle of Blanton awarded to best tailgate sandwich (inside joke) etc... Looking for a discussion on activities, venues, etc.... Please take off-topic conversations elsewhere. Much appreciated. 3 1 Quote
Draconator Posted March 5 Posted March 5 Can people (me) who have never been to a TBD tailgate participate in a golf tournament? I'd be all over that. 1 2 Quote
Augie Posted March 5 Posted March 5 I’d buy a shirt even if I couldn’t make it. A dinner cruise would be interesting. It’s been a long time and I wish I knew the area better to have suggestions. 3 Quote
Andrew Son Posted March 5 Posted March 5 TBD dinner cruise would put the Vikings love boat scandal to shame 7 Quote

I’m pretty certain that golfing will be a part of the weekend. There would be no reason to exclude anybody from that, regardless of past participation. We played at Byrncliff last year and that was really nice. 3 Quote
muppy Posted March 5 Posted March 5 menu is something that folks like to know ahead of time so they (I) can pre plan-cook-order etc You can put me down for either an appetizer or dessert. And for how many people? my plan is to come. And I hope God doesn't laugh. 1 Quote

I would be interested in a shirt but will be tough to make a trip to the Buffalo area. Quote

Fan in Chicago Posted March 5 Posted March 5 Just now, SDS said: you can get a flight between Chicago and Buffalo and I’m pretty sure the roads connect. Yes, boss. Let me know the dates and I will try my best. To think - we have literally grown old together. 1 Quote

Right now, we just need people to think about possible attendance, make plans with any venues ahead of time, etc… 1 Quote
mrags Posted March 5 Posted March 5 You can just wrap that bottle of Blantons with a nice bow and slap an Mrags nameplate on it 1 1 Quote
Mr Info Posted March 5 Posted March 5 We will be there for #25. Wore the 20th tshirt to last year’s tailgate. Here is Canal cocktail cruise as an option to consider: https://www.buffaloriverhistorytours.com/boat-tours/cocktail-cruise/ Quote

SoMAn Posted March 6 Posted March 6 (edited) First off, thanks to Scott and all the admins for providing this exceptional forum. For those of us ex-WNYers who want to keep up with our Bills, it's been a fair substitute for sitting around the local Buffalo gin mills debating and discussing out team. Prior to this development of this site, there was Rochester's Democrat & Chronicle message board, where several of us exchanged thoughts about the Bills. For perspective, this was a few years before 'the drought'! 3 years prior to the 2000 TBD tailgate, a handful of us faceless users of the D&C Hyperbills board met for the season opener against the Vikings. The game was on Aug 31, 1997. I don't remember why it started so early. I was at Rooties, a bar and wing joint on Millersport Hwy near UB Amherst, sitting with one of the multiple-personality comedians who trolled the message board. The screen flashed the news and the wreckage in Paris that killed Princess Diana. Oh well, pass the blue cheese. The Bills lost that weekend of course, but we had a good time. That was the last tailgate party I experienced with anyone from here, but maybe I'll make it up there for one of the tailgate parties before my body has other ideas. Hope you all have a great time. As Russert said, "please Bills, just one [super bowl win] before I die". Go Bills! Edited March 6 by SoMAn 1 2 Quote

Amazing to think the college kids on here in the 90s are now 50. 1 Quote
