Did grown men actually wear that jacket on purpose?

I wouldn't necessarily call high school or college kids grown men, but yeah.

Packer fans wear plastic cheese wedges on their heads. Red Wings fans carry dead octopi into the arena with them to throw on the ice after goals. Auburn fans throw toilet paper into trees. Sports can make you do weird things.

Next you'll tell me that my circa 2002 Dale Jr. Budweiser jacket was lame too.

I don't wear tennis shoes anywhere but to the gym bro. It's a me thing not a you thing and definitely a making fun of yesteryear thing.

Mostly my collection is my diploma & Auburn Mags. I don't have any autographs etc even though I had class with a few players over the years, (Lil Train, Bo to name a couple)

Lil Train had a hot Tutor that attended class with him in Modern Advanced Algebra.

88 -

The poster on my wall behind my helmet is of Little Train. I'll get a good pic of it and other stuff when I get home. That was right about the time I started to understand what AU football was all about. I graduated AHS in'88. Hard to beat 80's Auburn.

I probably picked up some of your empty beer cans on Sundays around campus and recycled them for a penny apiece. It added up pretty quickly. Dumpster diving, especially at the end of spring quarter when students moved out was a gold-mine of treasures. I still have a couple of stout wooden 2-3 foot wooden paddles from one of the old frat houses on Mag just up from where Momma G's is today before they were torn down. I assume more than a few pledges got their asses spanked pretty good. I used to skip church at AUMC and see what I could find in them after they were abandoned. First time in a frat house.

Some wild nights up that street with some of my friends with bands playing. I used to live over by Momma G's. I was out of there and on to flight school after Aug 88. Fun times. Kind of miss it.

Wow. Can’t believe you haven’t burned it. LOL.


No kidding. Right one que Never forget how far we've come

What the hell should you do with a Barbie signed ball? I'm stumped between donating it to a YMCA or something, giving it to a kid that needs it to play and will eventually wear the ink off it, leaving it at a local court / park, keeping it in the closet JIC, or...yeah, burning it. TB is a complete POS prick and one of our worst hires ever, and that is saying something.
