Picture of my son and Ellis Henderson playing catch and the game gloves he gave to the future Griz receiver.

Thank you for starting this thread. It has been fun. It does not matter if you have a bottle opener or a wonderful GTO; what matters is that we care enough to drag something Grizzly home with us. There will always be cooler and more expensive pieces of memorabilia than we have, it should never minimize our pride in being a Grizzly fan. The point is that we care enough to put some Grizzly on walls, and in our Grizzly place. We are Griz fans 24/7/365.
I applaud the beautiful GTO. How cool is that? Definitely a solid Griz fan and able to take it to a special level.

I also have a few pictures of a Camellia Bowl Grizzly helmet and souvenir-sized football. Fun Items. I verified the helmet with a friend who was a Griz player in this game. It shows lots of game use. It has a MacGregor 100MH
stamp on it that I forgot to take a photo of.
Remember to left click on the images and you will get a supersized view.
I have both of them, and treasure them. But what I really treasure are the memories, the endless conversations with my spouse that start with, "Remember when the Griz...."AZGrizFan said:glovedad said:Dmontanagrizzlies

Agreed. I've got lots of "smalls" that I absolutely LOVE...wasn't able to take it to the GTO level until this year. It's the car I"ve always dreamed of, but never thought I'd actually own.
I've got the front page of the Missoulian the day after winning the championship in '95...some day I'll get that framed and added to my wall. Wish I had the 2001 Missoulian as well....they'd make a nice pair, framed and on the wall.
BearIt said:My most prized Griz possession is my hat that I purchased in 1992. The hat and I have shared many adventures. It now only comes out for special occasions.
It survived an attack by a doberman pincer in 1994 that put a hole in the front. In 1995 while working for the Forest Service a piss licking camp deer snatched it out of my backpack and chewed the crap out of it. I chased the deer for about 20 minutes to get the hat back. A well thrown rock finally got it to drop the hat. I had to do a backcountry repair job with a pair of blue jeans and cinnamon flavored dental floss. Then in 1999 I walked into the Rockin' R' Bar wearing the hat. It just so happened that the Bobcats just finished Spring ball that day and the entire team was in the bar. I was cornered and told it was either my ass or the hat. Needless to say the hat lost. The team signed it and wrote FTG all over it in sharpie and it was hung behind the bar. Luckily a friend of mine worked for Ralph and was able to retrieve it for me later. A couple of washes with some infomercial magical cleaner removed most of the marker.

There are some great names on this program, including Wild Bill Kelly and Russell Sweet. Would love to have watched them play....and thank you "biga75."
