I have a full size combat helmet signed by KShep and Nevis. I have a 16x20 pic of PP7 doing Heisman pose and he signed it. I have a football signed by Glenn Dorsey and Tyson Jackson. Another signed by Saban, JV, Kyle Williams, Devery, Whitworth, Landry, and Addai.

I'd like one of the replicas of the BCS crystal football trophy or some Nike pro combat gloves from '09.

Half the guys in this thread have tried to one-up one another when AT was simply asking what is the top thing that you WANT, not something you have.

If you want to brag about what you own, go to the OT Lounge.

the one piece i would really love to get my hands on is a 1997 Independence Bowl helmet i know the white helmet isnt a big deal to most people, but i got to go to that game with my dad on my birthday. to hand it to notre dame that hail-filled night is a great personal memory


I have Larry fosters helmet from that game. Got it at an auction.

I have one autographed by the '07 championship team. I had a gold one too but someone begged me to sell it to them so for $2,000 i parted with it..
The one I have is a Schutt helmet, not a game used but I love the white helmets ..they look clean.

Hate to bust your bubble, but that jersey is not from 1958. Unless I am wrong, LSU wore all white the entire season

I think you are right AT


You are probably both right.

This is the story about my #20 game jersey. My father got it when he was there in 57, 58. He didn't remember how or when he got it, probably drinking a few at the time. We always embellished the story over the years. One time we showed it to some friends and told them its the jersey he wore in the 59' Ole Piss game.

Paul Dietzel did start the tradition of the white jerseys in 58'. In 57' I do believe they wore a gold jersey exactly like this for the Florida and Vanderbilt away games, not sure about other 57' games or away games in 58'. Its a very heavy cotton jersey with some blood stains on the bottom front left. The jersey is folded back in the frame. Any help on this subject is welcome and has anyone ever seen a game jersey that Cannon wore?

I did read the OP subject wrong, so my LSU holy grail would be the white jersey he wore during the punt return or the picture of Miles that JJ has.

Maybe I'll spray paint it white

I have one from 1997 also. Can you tell me what the DW sticker on the back stands for? I have no clue.

That is called a print, since you have 1 of 500. Wouldn't you rather have the original painting. That would be the Holy Grail.

I would say one of the two items I have:

1. Smoke laval signed one of his left over burritos for me.

2. Clay Dirks signed a whiskey bottle that he just polished off and gave it to me.

I have a few cool items, but I would like the Infamous Glass JD bottle that was thrown at the 2005 Tenn cheerleader bus

Nice

There are some dumb non-reading MFers in this thread

And whomever said they have seen the Original Tiger Rag is in on a big secret because the original Tiger Rag has been missing for decades

There was no 1958 National Championship game ticket because there was no such game. We won it in the polls.
