Thanks. It's my pleasure to share these old memories. I have had several people comment about how cool this is to take a look back at the roots of the team and the accomplishments over the years.

I was so happy when I received this calendar with all these fun facts and trivia questions on it.

Todays Fun Fact:

Dan Reeves won 117 games (inlcuding postseason) in 12 years as the Broncos' coach from 1981 to 1992

Another insteresting fact today regarding coach Reeves. We just had a thread discussing his approval rating. With an average of just under 10 games a season, that isn't too shabby IMO.

John Ralston

Correct!!

John was the coach for 5 seasons and ended with a .507 mark. After he left the Broncos, that is when Red Miller took over and got us in the playoffs for 3 consecutive years. The first year under coach Miller was the infamous 1977 season.

I loved ole Red! He was a fireball who demanded nothing but the best from his players. Can you imagine Randy Moss playing for him?

Today's Fun Fact:

John Elway (1997) and Jake Plummer (2004) share the Broncos' record for touchdown passes in a season.
