Anybody old enough here, that was a Browns fan, the only Ohio team back then, BEFORE the Bengals came to town in 1968?

I'm old enough for both those cases. Never got to see the Bengals play in person back then as I've never lived in Cinci though. I remember Jim Brown, then Leroy Kelly following him.

Paul Brown was quite famous all around Ohio back in those days. I got a fair amount of ribbing from family for following the Bengals, that is until 1980. I still have a lot of family who are Browns fans and I'd say Art Modell would be one of their most hated people, while most remember Paul Brown with fondness.

I met Neil Armstrong and John Glenn back in 69 when they visited my class, if that gives you an idea of those times. That was just after the moon landing. Use to stay home from school to watch the rockets, then the schools started showing them. I remember Kennedy being shot and my school's basement was a nuclear fallout shelter.
