Last week some of you whined pointed out that you had little chance to identify the mystery players, because they played before in an era in which y'all were born. Being that I have a two-year-old daughter at home, I am no stranger to this type of complaint, so I will take the proper course of action and fix it. I promise that at least two of the mystery players will be from the modern era. Even though nobody got Spike Jones, I think that last week went pretty well, so I will stay away from the usual disclaimers.
Mystery Player 1
I was a first round pick of the Bills.
I was a key cog in the "Electric Company"
I was a Wolverine.
My middle name is the same as sireric's.
Mystery Player 2
I was named "Most Improved Player" for the Bills in 2002.
I spent time with the New York Giants.
I was named first team Playboy All-American my senior year of college.
I am currently the offensive line coach for North Park University.
Mystery Player 3
My middle name is Dee.
I attended Central Missouri State University.
I played my entire career with the Bills.
Despite playing in only three games, I recorded 6 sacks in 1992.
Mystery Player 4
I was a Nittany Lion.
I played linebacker for the Giants the year before Lawrence Taylor took over the position.
I was a rookie the same year as Joe DeLamielleure.
My first five years in the NFL were as a Bill.
***Extra Credit***
Name every member of the "Electric Company" - including the TE and FB.
Who was the fourteenth person inducted into the Bills Wall of Fame?

Reggie dubbed the name BTW.
From what I have read; the VP of public relations L. Budd Thalman’s 8 year old son was watching a cartoon called “The Electric Company” and he is the one who coined the phrase.

Tell him to take it up with Joe D. because I read it in his book.

According to Wikipedia...

Jim Ringo the O Line coach coined the phrase. HAHAHAHA.

I went back to earlier trivia and read the disclaimers. Don’t know what constitutes cheating, but if I messed it up by posting the right answers, please forgive. Newbie mistake. :)

I withdraw my 2 previous answers and will make guess # 3
Paul Seymour the TE on the Electric Co
by freddyjj on Jun 23, 2009 12:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Seymour was a Tackle at Michigan and Saban and Ringo coached both he and Joe D. at the senior bowl that year. They thought he would make a great blocking TE and they were right.

Imagine the furor on this blog
If the Bills took a Blocking TE in Rd 1 – especially a project player!

Reggie was also a Michigan man, He was a second rounder tho now that I think about it.

Electric Company
O-line —Donnie Green, Reggie Mckenzie, Mike Montler, Joe D., Dave Foley
TE—Paul Seymour
Wr’s—-JD Hill, Bobby Chandler (best blocking receivers in football at that time)
FB—Bubba Braxton
QB—Fergy
The memories of being at Rich and barely sitting down when OJ got the ball. You could tell when he was getting in a rhythm, he would gain 3, then 7 then 15 then hit a long run—-while the crowd chanted Juice Juice Juice!!! What excitement ….just a fantastic time to be a Bills fan!!

To Vol Brian
Being a Gator fan, I can’t wait to see the Vols-Gator game on 9/19 at the Swamp. Kiffin can certainly talk the talk and we will get to see if he can walk the walk!

Lol
We can certainly discuss that here, but I’ve already made my prediction. :)

Come See Us
Over at RTT for all the UT-FL discussion you can handle. I hesitate to do it here because this is obviously a Bills blog and most people on here could probably care less. There is also a Florida blog called Team Speed Kills that is run by a pretty sensible Florida fan, if there is such a thing. ;-)
As far as UB goes, one of the pieces I’ll do about my grandfather down the road will be about integration. Short version – he refused to see color difference in players regardless of his status as a Southerner, or what Larry Felser (another story for another time) had to say. This piece will include some info about the famous Buffalo Bulls team that refused to play the bowl game without their HB because Bobby Bowden wouldn’t put his guys on the same field as a Black player. Said HB went on to play for the BIlls. I’ll work all that up at some point…

Important Correction
As I started my to compile my article, I discovered I was mistaken in my assertion that Bobby Bowden was behind the decision not play against the Bulls. That is actually far from the truth and an unnecessary, improper, and very insulting accusation for me to make on poor information. Please disregard that statement.
