Championship Gear

I babysat Alan Zuniga's kids a few times in high school. I wanted a painting in place of money, but he said no.....

I fall into the second category as well. I bought hat with the championship logo, I also bought a sticker for the car and a tshirt as well. However, just a warning to everyone the shirt I got

was the biggest piece of shit shirt ever, I cannot believe put out this product. The material is very thin and when I ordered my size it barley came down past my waist. Needless to say I sent it back. I will be getting another shirt. That is all I ordered and will buy.

Thank you...thought it was just me. I returned mine to Academy the next day. Ua disappointed me on that one.

Except he made Chiz go full retard...and you never go full retard...

Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, 'Rain Man,' look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Counted toothpicks, cheated cards. Autistic, sho'. Not retarded. You know Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump.' Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping-pong competition. That ain't retarded. Peter Sellers, "Being There." Infantile, yes. Retarded, no. You went full retard, man. Never go full retard. You don't buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, "I Am Sam." Remember? Went full retard, went home empty handed.

I can't believe you kept it at $30 dollars. I got mine on sale at Tiger Rags paid $20 and it still wasn't worth it. What I can't figure out is, I get the fact that they were mass producing these things at lightspeed. On the hat the MNC logo is not quite as nice as the AU logo on the side, I figured because the Auburn and

logos were done in advance and then they quickly did the MNC logo. I get that.

What I don't get is how the shirt can be such shitty quality, I could understand the screen printing being messed up or something but the shirt should just be an

shirt. It is nothing like my other

shirts and I have another white one. Very disappointed!

I hadn't heard he was doing one, and googled him. That's pretty sweet, too.

No Kodi Burns. And Chizik looks like he's having a stroke or presenting Simba to the giraffes.

I like Gamble's better. Don't think I'll be buying Bama Moore's. Unless we get a series of six prints.

Most any clothing-T-shirts mostly- (don't see to much AU gear in Dallas) Magnets for our cars (even the keen one

) and got this painting last time I was there ( Jan 8th-Jan 11th)

It's the circle of life. I twittered.

I get the Fairley/Cam thing and yes, they were pretty much the face of AU football...to the Nation. To many Auburn fans, Kodi was the heart of Auburn football. Not lip service about doing what's best for the team. He DID what was best for the team...AND scored the first TD in the MNCG.

Got my t-shirt at Sams. Great quality blue 100% cotton and set me back a whopping $14.99

At the game I bought on of the Fitted BCS logo Auburn hats. I bought a program and I bought my first Tshirt at Dillards this weekend because it was half off. I want an Under Armour NC visor if I can find one yet.

I have the t-shirt Academy printed that night at midnight just because my sister and her husband went out there and got me one. It is ugly. I will probably just sleep in it.

The poster from the Celebration has been framed and I will pick that up tomorrow. I also bought the Toomer's Corner Rolling in the Snow" picture and it has the BCS score under it. They will go in my office.

I also bought myself a white gold pendant of orange and blue sapphires from Ware's. The colors really pop against the silver color of the gold. As Cousin Eddie would say "It's REAL nice." I am also adding some diamonds to my gold Auburn slide bracelet.

I bought the Bodda Getta book from the OANews and the SI commorative issue. I also saved the two SI regular issues with Auburn on the front. Not sure what I will do with those yet. Did NOT buy the SI commorative book - I bought the LSU one for Carl a few years back and it is cheesy.

A new AU Alum sticker is on the back of my navy blue SUV with the Auburn plates. Kind of sticks out in Houston.

There are no plans to buy any other tshirts, hats, etc. We did it. I know we did it. bammers know we did it. No need to wallow head to toe in it like they do.

There are three schools of thought regarding the purchase of championship gear. (Preface: Any day now, I expect to hear how "bammah champeenship stuff done outselled Aubren stuff...")

1) Not going to buy anything much with the NC logo because Auburn isn't defined by that. Will just stick to regular Auburn gear so I don't look like a bandwagon jumper.

2) Going to buy some of it because, well, you know we DID win the national championship. Wearing title gear is a subtle way to say it without saying it. And it pisses Bama fans off.

3) If it's got the championship logo, I'm buying it. Cushions, pajamas, shot glasses, shirts, hats, plates, golf balls, keychains, socks, shorts, whatever. Going to flaunt it.

That brings me to two questions. I like numbered lists.

1) What, if any, gear or accessories have you purchased?

2) When Daniel Moore and Greg Gamble come out with their championship paintings are you buying?

I fall into category 2. I put a small flag outside my house. Small window stickers for my bmw and truck. High end apparel (Underarmor polo and jacket). Couple of other things. But not overboard.

Haven't decided if I'll order the Moore or Gamble prints.

On a side note, I heard a commercial yesterday where Moore is unveiling his fifth painting in the "Greatest Season Ever" series for Bama. Wonder if the Auburn series should be titled "Yeah But Ours Was Better" or "Even Greater Than The Greatest Season Ever."

I bought a #2 jersey with the BCS Title game patch in PHX. I actually found the big Tervis Tumbler with the official Auburn 2011 National Champions logo in it in a Greenville Bed Bath & Beyond. I bought it. I also bought an Under Armor hat with the Championship logo that I'll never wear. It sits in my office.

Other than that, I bought the short sleeve white sideline pullover in PHX that Chizik wears and a few game pins. I'm not going to go out and find a whole lot of Championship gear. I guess I'm a combo of #1 and #2.

Interesting topic.

I'm picking option 2.; however, I have the great pleasure to remind U of O fans of our championship win.

Is that greater than reminding Alabama fans?

The Duck Hunt t-shirt was to good to pass up. I have since bought a UA pullover and T-shirt.

Before lifting weights the other evening a duck fan said to me, "That's an ugly shirt". It might be, but it's a winning t-shirt".

Please tell me you are going to get that bitch signed, framed, and then hang it on a wall...

Or at least tell me what game you are going to wear it to next year so I can be there to point and laugh...

Now see, I refrained from citing the established "grown men in jerseys" rule, but there you go.

Didn't we go through this on another site? Some "fast and furious" type thought you should be in a pink dress if not a jersey?

BTW, I bought a hat. A blue hat with a smaller BCS logo on front and an AU on the side. It's cotton. I tried to buy one of those white ones that are the "official" ones, and looked at another white Under Armor one too. I knew I'd never wear a stark white hat, I knew if I did, it would get dirty and dingy, and couldn't stand the sheen on either. Just give me an old cotton hat.

I bought a coffee mug that says national champions, and has the schedule on it, because I love to drink coffee outta cool mugs.

Got me a few magazines for the coffee table

That's about it.

Framed. Along with every game ticket from last year, including Championship tickets. A few pins as well. If I can get it signed? Great. If not? Oh well.

Personal pref, I guess, but I'm not big on framed jerseys. Gameworn? Maybe I'd think differently.

Like to see a pic of it when you get it done. Curious to see what it would look like. Maybe I just haven't seen the right presentation.
