BLZFAN4LIFE Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Nice to know I'm not the only old fart on the board. Nice to feel young at 37.
***PetrinoInAlbany*** Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 You're a LONG time Bills fan if ... - --- I say "Foley, McKenzie, Freuhauff, Adams & Greene" and you know I'm not talking about a law firm. (BONUS TRIVIA QUESTION FOR THE OLD-TIMERS: That was the starting line for a significant game in Bills history. Which game and why was it significant?) - --- Someone asks you in a trivia challenge which team won the last game the Bills ever played at the Rockpile, and you smile and just let everyone else try to answer the trick question ... - --- You pull out the stub from the first Monday Night Game in Buffalo (V. KC, 1973) and you look at the price and realize "Wow, I pay TWICE that much today to PARK!" - --- You feel that even - perhaps even especially - in today's ESPN-on-your-phone-ten-live-feeds-on-your-dish world, it'd still be great to hear Rick Azar do the late sports ... - --- This one's personal but it carbon-dates me well ... You were the paper boy that would hand Tom Sestak his Courier Express as he was opening up Sestak & McGuires ... Yes, the Courier Express. - --- The first time you met O.J. was at a signing of his book The Education Of A Rich Rookie. - --- And, for God's sake, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the red standing buffalo! In fact, you think it's one of the coolest, most easily identifiable, classic icons in sports.
Bullpen Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Great friggin post... I'll echo BLZFAN, it's wierd to feel young at 37 sometimes. The Courier-Express, man that brings back memories. Tom Toles got his start there. We used to have his "gas-crisis" board game somewhere at my mom's house.

The field at the Rockpile would be torn up by mid 1st Qtr.

In space no one can hear Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Great friggin post... I'll echo BLZFAN, it's wierd to feel young at 37 sometimes. The Courier-Express, man that brings back memories. Tom Toles got his start there. We used to have his "gas-crisis" board game somewhere at my mom's house. Ah, The Courier Express! As a 7th and 8th grader I delivered the Courier Express every morning, 7 days a week. Not like those sissy boy Buffalo News carriers who only delivered 6 days, didn't have to get up early in the morning and didn't have to deliver the the massive Sunday paper like the Courier Express had.
***PetrinoInAlbany*** Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 I'll take a stab: starting OL @ Pittsburgh playoff game? Nope ... It was the starting OL for the final game at War Memorial Stadium. The greatest catch ever made by a Bills receiver also happened in that game. It was a TD catch where the Bills receiver did a 360-degree spin that ended with his body horizontal to the ground and his toes dragging the end line and, oh yeah, he had threeee guys on him. Three. Some ex-USC, long haired, PAC-8 decathalon champ ... guy named Chandler ... wore #81 ...
slipkid Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Hmmmm . . . I have many on the list but not all--my father would have never worn a fedora. I have one of my own, though. You remember chanting "Get Hadl dirty!"
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 .......... If you are still trying to adjust to those "ridiculous " Red Helmets !

cåblelady Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 ...You think "Rockpile" is a "what", not a "who". Rockpile is a "who". Hi! Tom.
Bob in SC Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Man am I old! (thanks for the memories.) You are a very old Bills fan if: 1. You have any idea who Birtho Arnold was and how much he weighed. 2. You were concerned about how there could possibly be a need for both Tommy O'Connell and Richie Lucas at the QB position. (But Al Dorow was a good idea.) 3. You thought that no linebacker trio could be any better better than Jacobs, Tracey, and Stratton.
Buftex Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Whenever you are trying to recall some event in your life, you remember what years it was, because you remember what was going on with the Bills at the time...
KD in CA Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 ....if you really weren't all that surprised when the Bills blew the MNF game last year by letting the Cowboys score twice in the last 20 seconds.

Nobody could keep his toes in bounds like he could.
Wacka Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 ...if the first color TV show you watched was the Bills beating the Chargers for the AFL Championship.
