Alright smack talkers (ha!)...Here we go...having a little reminiscing of years past tonight got me thinking..What do I really OWN at home that I could prove to someone that makes me a fan (insert hardcore if you want, no, not porn Alpha :thumb: ).
I'm not talking I HAVE A GRIZ room...cause more than not have that sort of thing...I'm talking after a few good drinks, what is that one item(s) you would be so proud to show someone of your "Griz Days"...
For me...5 items.
1. My first is my 200 plus stack of various Missoulian articles that all have mentions of major announcements, upsets, or the championship games. To this day, I only have the SFA game and the Marshall game behind glass on the wall in my Griz room. Someday, I would love to have half of my articles up.
2. My old school Griz Basketball authentic Copper and Gold Jersey. More these days can proclaim they have a football Copper, few have the basketball.
3. My old school Griz Football...ah hell....just see #2 :thumb:
4. My daughter got her first autograph day when Chase broke the TD record...so it's not mine, but hers...she got 30 autographs that day including Tru's. As a dad watching his then 4 year old carry around a Sharpie and regulation football for some ink...probably the best item I have on the Mantle...
5. My 2013 press pass that allowed me unfettered access anywhere during the Cal-Poly vs. Griz game. Many great pictures that day. Under the No Zone for OT. My ears hurt so bad after that game. Had to get a second camera from the wife because I ran the battery out of the first one before halftime.
6. #EDIT...I should have added the two authentic Griz practice jerseys with BigSky Conf patches that ReMax bought me for a buck a piece...which I still owe him $2 to this day .....
What is your best or most favorite item....doesn't have to have any kind of value...just what item would you want your family to continue to hold and pass along...
