Arkady Renko Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I was next to a Seneca as she was talking to someone else about her tribe and other stuff. Anyway, she says she lives near Buffalo. She then says that when they were making the HSBC Arena, the developers discovered an Indian burial ground and ruins of a village. Despite the Seneca's protests--supposedly--she says that the developer plowed ahead and did not relocate the remains of the village. She said that fellow tribe members then proceeded to "hex" the Sabres and the stadium so that the Sabres would never win a championship but would often get close. Just thought I would share because it was rather weird.

I only mention this because it was weird and maybe Sabres fans might care or might know if this crap about an Indian burial ground is true.

gmac17 Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 the developers discovered an Indian burial ground why would the indians possibly bury their dead in the middle of an industrial area surrounded by grain mills and the like? makes no sense.
sweetbaboo Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 what's weirder is that the easter bunny robbed me last Christmas while Santa just stood around chuckling through my screams for help stay away from those chocolate eggs
MadBuffaloDisease Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I guess the Senecas have something in common with "Cancer man."
mcjeff215 Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Was the Ralph also built on an Indian burial ground? 840985[/snapback] It's actually still there. There's a little cemetary in the middle of one of the lots. Used to ride my bike past it all the time as a kid. -Jeff
Nanker Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Earth to Senecas: The entire United States is built on Indian ground - some of it buried, some of it not yet. So that must be why we're hexed and can't win a war to save our collective scrotums!

If the Indians really wanted to jinx the city of Buffalo, then they probably screwed up the spell and made it hit the Bills rather than the Sabres.
Typical TBD Guy Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Can I blame the Senecas for tonight's loss?
/dev/null Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I find that hard to believe. When I was in high school I was in the "gifted" (spelled Special Ed ) program. One of the perks of being "gifted" was a college anthropology course where I spent countless hours scrubbing and labeling bones. Most of the bones were discovered on a site which was slated for development but a burial ground was discovered If there is any kind of burial ground the development is halted
Just Jack Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I was joking.

Parking lot map Go to where it has "R5", near Gates 8/9, on the map, and look for a fenced in area surrounded by trees/shrubs. Look through the fence and you'll see the headstones.

So that must be why we're hexed and can't win a war to save our collective scrotums! 841011[/snapback] Maybe it just took a couple hundred years for the hex to kick in. It looks like we're about to go 1 for the last 3.

Arkady Renko Posted November 19, 2006 Author Posted November 19, 2006 This is actually what the person said. I am not trying to judge it one way or the other.

There's a creek near there that my buddies and I used to ride mountain bikes/walk up back when I was 14/15/16; we'd pass that cemetary all the time as that's about where we got bored and turned around. -Jeff
Nanker Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 This is actually what the person said. I am not trying to judge it one way or the other. 841078[/snapback] Yes. That's for us to do.

Dwight Drane Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Wow, and this whole time I thought Ted Nolan jumped Hasek's wife because she was good looking. I guess it was just part of the hex.
