Kind of OT but I'd love a replica of the M Shop's stained glass.
Atanasoff Berry Computer autographed by both George Washington Carver and Jack Trice (there may be some time-space continuum constraints there), in my garage hooked up to a black and white tube monitor browsing CF, taking 10 hours to load one page and becoming unusable due to the ******* ads on the site.
Dedric Willouby jersey from 1996 Big 8 basketball tournament championship game. Our first tournament championship and it was the last Big 8 tournament. I was there! Tim Floyd was the coach and we beat KU in that game.
Are scrap end-cut pieces of Hilton floor on anyone's holy grail list? Two Gov Deals auctions ending soon.
I think that’s all run through ISU Surplus now. They haven’t had one of those for a few years now.
The goal post that was removed after the 23-12 Iowa State win over Iowa in the early 80s. It was lifted up the side of Larch Hall and made it to the top floor den.
I was at that game too as a student. To this day I still don't think I have ever heard Hilton as loud as it was right after he dunked that and I have attended a pretty high % of MBB games in Hilton since 1998 as I have had season tickets every year as a student and post graduation. This was the first thing that came to my mind that I would like something either Fizer's jersey or the game ball from that game.
The younger generation (man that makes me feel old saying that at age 45) have no idea just how special that team was that year. We didn't have social media or our games on TV that often and when they were it was usually a local or regional broadcast so most of the country had no idea just how good of a team we had. Coming into that game 22-4 and 10-2 in the Big 12 ranked 17 playing 14 ranked Texas with Mihm who at the time many thought may be the #1 overall pick in the NBA draft. That game and the next one that we beat #10 ranked OSU with Eduardo Najera jumped us from 17 to 10 in the rankings and we didn't lose another game again until the Elite 8. I wonder just how high we may have been ranked sooner had we had the TV and media coverage that we have today. Really anything from that season in general would be the highlight of anything I could own.
I miss the equipment sales, but the last couple were a nightmare. Hundreds of people lining up hours before. People taking arm fulls of clothes to a corner, then sorting through them and leaving them on the floor. Payment systems not able to handle the demand. Much easier for them to just hand stuff off to surplus and let them sell it periodically versus a single a event every 2 or 3 years.
Najera played for Oklahoma, but that OSU team was solid all around team that made Elite 8 too
Brain fart there when I wrote this. OU was pretty good that year too. OSU had Desmond Mason who went on to play in the NBAS and Doug Gotlieb that year. You are right, OSU was a 3 seed and also an Elite 8 too.
I need a signed Purdy jersey for my basement wall - I already have Lazard, Niang (funny story how I got that one), and Bridget Carleton (we may or may not have named our first born Bridget)... Trying to get an Addy Brown jersey (we may or may not have named our second born Addi). Would love to get a Tyrese one too.
