    What if....

    Granted its a LOONG way off, but suppose the Bills get to the superbowl (regardless of if its even this year). What do you do?

    Do you shell out the cash and go to the game - hell its once in a lifetime...
    If you go, who would go with you?

    Not living in Buffalo, there are a shortage of Bills fans I could/would go with. Possibly my dad, but thats a ton of money to travel across the country and watch a game with a bunch of rich yuppies and businessmen (and with crappy seats no doubt). I have always said that I would pony up to go to any superbowl the Bills make (I didnt go to the others since I was too young), but I would not.

    If I could get a few people together I could see driving to Buffalo to watch in a bar, but thats far fetched as its a 9 hour drive from me.

    More likely, Id stay in my own home, invite my Dad and brother in law since they might come and are big Bills fans. Unless it was against the Giants Id have my Giants friend watch it since we watch most games together (and I watched the Giants beat the Pats with him) - Id probably have to invite his girlfriend but that would mean a steady supply of snacks which is nice. My wife is a Pats fan but she knows better to show it during a Bills game so she would be there, and she would have to wear a Bills jersey (now that hes extended I am gonna buy her an Evans one). Thats it - that and a case of my favorite beer at the time. No talking during the game - pure concentration.

    If we won it would be jubilation, partying, and who the hell knows - maybe a heart attack or two. If we lost... well, I should probably have some hard booze on hand as well?

    What would you do?

      it's too much of a gamble. If the Bills win, it'll be worth every penny and you'll remember it for the rest of your life. If the Bills lose, you'll feel like a jackass for spending thousands on something that just made you miserable.

          I would go to the AFC Championship game knowing full well I can afford a superbowl.
          I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
          "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
          You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
          It was all
          true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
          He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
          mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

            Same could be said for marriage.

            You live once. Take some risks in life and don't dwell on the negative.

              I wouldn't be able to attend it but if they were to make it, I think I would make the drive up to Buffalo and watch it with everyone there.

                    Disagree completely. In marriage, you have control over who you marry and you have at least some control over how that relationship goes.

                    If the Bills make it to the SB, you have no control over who the other team is and no control over how the Bills do on the field. You can't compare something where the individual has control to something where the individual has no control.

                    If the Bills lose the Super Bowl, I'll already be depressed. I don't need to be depressed AND several grand in the hole.

                          If you had the chance to go when they win and did not go, your excitement will be compromised by the feelings of idiocy.

                            Marriages fail at a 50% clip. If your marriage fails, you have wasted several thousand (actually much more) dollars.

                            And while you don't have control over a football game, that just means you can't screw it up like one could a marriage.

                              why would you have confidence in our team? They've had 4 good games. They've lost every big game going back to 1997. 4 Bills teams that were much better than this one lost Super Bowls.

                              Confidence has to be earned- it isn't bestowed based on the logo on the side of the helmet.
