Old Mile High

 

Old Mile High.

I have never, and I mean never, tried anything like this before, inserting links into a post.  See what you guys make me do.  I hope it works.

For you history buffs there's a real nice article from the Rocky Mountain News about the Old Mile High Stadium here:

http://denver.rockymountainnews.com/milehigh/1223mile0.shtml

 It has brief references to a lot of the stories from Bronco history we've been talking about and a few we haven't.  I hope this stirs the pot a little.

Awesome job.

I will always regret not seeing a live game in the Old Mile High…

Sheeesh!!

We are going to have to start calling you Techno Trinidad Jack. That was a great write-up. It conjures up many memories. Thanks for posting it. What do you say to getting together to write a piece? Sort of a fireside chat type of thing. Any other “seasoned” fans want to participate? My email is in my fan page. I will be out of touch for awhile as I move the computer and reorganize per Styg’s recommendations.

So first fan any interest in scouting for MHR?

Until Terrell Davis makes it into the Hall of Fame, I refuse to acknowledge the existence of such a place other than the Ring of Fame at Mile High!

Davis to the Hall!

Yes,

I agreed to be back-up to the third assistant for Disco Stu and the Mt. West. It is kinda hard for me to see much from the great alone of the Alaska wilderness, but I will look at Wyoming and I think I still know a few people who live in Laramie.

Right now I am in the midst of tearing my whole area apart to get organized.

Sounds like a good idea.

You know, when I just sit here and say to myself, “remember some great Bronco moment,” it doesn’t happen. But when I read what others remember, it tickles my imagination and memories start coming back. A bunch of us old farts sitting around the pickle barrel and rememberin’ with the kids listenin’ in and askin’ bout the good old days. Sounds like a bit of O.K.

They’re gonna shut me down in about 15 minutes and I won’t be able to log back on till Monday but I’ll get back to you then.

If this be Hell, let us make the most of it!

Meanwhile, all you MHR'ers check out those links...

...in the left hand column at the site above. There’s a lot of great stuff.

I found the Numbers section to be interesting.

I was disappointed the pictures don’t load for the “faces” section.

Yeah,

He was a real brawler. I heard he got himself into some money trouble because of that fight and asked to renegotiate his contract but the Bronco refused. That’s when he went to CLeveland, I think and then the raiders.

BTW, he lost, but stayed in the ring. I don’t think Ali took it seriously. It was more like a circus than a fight.

If this be Hell, let us make the most of it!
