Van already has a club named after him at RWS.

Yes, I am aware of that.  IMO he deserves to be on the Wall of Fame.

A+ response!

Would be even better if he said "fasten your seatbelts," which is what Van Miller actually used to say.  

I too am extremely nostalgic about Van Miller and believe him to be one of the best announcers ever.  Murph was the best color man back in the day too.  My old man used to go Bartman during the glory years and listen to the radio broadcast at the games.  IMO, Van Miller trumps Jeanerette by a wide margin as I find Jeanerette to be more than a little hammy at times (the population of Pominville has just increased by one?  Come on) and I was a big time Ted Darling fan ("there's a nice souvenir for a young man from west Seneca")  How old school is that !?!   No doubt we are blessed to have had the announcers we've had over the years.  Buffalo for life.

You can order the Miller calls of the 1964 AFL championship game and the 1980 Bills win over Miami here....$5.00 each.

"The Bills....are going to the Superbowl." Near the end of 51-3.

I'm pretty sure it's spelled "Von."

They had a bunch of clips on buffalobills.com and that was one of them.
