7 Reasons You Should Be A Proud Member Of The BillsMafia

People often ask “How do I join #BillsMafia?” Our response has always been the same: “Do you bleed red, white, and blue? Eat, sleep, and breathe Bills? Then you’re already in.”

7 Reasons You Should Be A Proud Member Of The BillsMafia

Every NFL team has their fanbase. Patriots fans are known for supporting cheaters and being quite rude to visiting teams (cheaters never truly win you guys), Steelers fans have that little yellow rag that they spin around while simultaneously wiping their nose with it, and the Cowboys fans...well that's just a melting pot of bandwagoners.

But what about the Buffalo Bills fans? We are such a FAMbase that we have our own nickname...#BillsMafia! Trust me when I say this is a very eccentric group of amazing individuals each with their own special talents. Though our Fambase has been tarnished with misconceptions, here is why you should be proud to be apart of #BillsMafia (shout out to Del, Leslie, and Bre for being amazing and creating this on accident!)

1. We are more than just a fanbase.

BillsMafia is more than just showing up to games, home and away, cheering on the good ol' Buffalo Bills. We also try to help out the communities and each other in the process! Charities? Yeah we donate to those! Do your fans do that?

2. We are a family...a FAMbase!

We are always there for each other, whether it's helping each other out with a problem or just giving tickets we won't use to fans that would really enjoy their first ever Bills game! I've seen a lot of this on the Billsmafia facebook and it makes me so proud! Way to go guys!

3. We stick together through the good and the bad.


Let's be honest here..we are on a 16 year playoff drought with a possible 17 year if we don't get our act together. We are fans for more than the Superbowl rings (looking at you Patriot and Cowboys fans!) and we will be around for many more years to come without filling out a bandwagon application for another team.

4. We are open with our opinions and views without being rude to players.

Yeah.. we get frustrated. Our kicker isn't the best. Our QB is truly hit or miss. We have an exceptional running back (shout out to you McCoy. Love your work!) and our WR is made of glass. I think that justifies our frustrations. We voice our opinions without attacking our players and that's something a lot of you can't say!

5. PINTO RON. ENOUGH SAID!

Spoiler alert: Ron is not his first name. He is the most well known tailgater around and naturally he's a Bills fan!

6. We truly bleed Red, White, and Blue! #MERICA

I mean COME ON! Why are the Cowboys "America's Team"?! We are actually RED WHITE AND BLUE and we are proud of it. Ask any mafia member, they bleed those colors proudly!

7. The FAMbase turns into FAMily.


I have made so many new friends from all over the country thanks to the BillsMafia. Whenever I visit Buffalo I know that I will have a friend..or 15,000+ that I can hang out with!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
