So if I hauled these over to GIA today, do you think they would let me in with them, and if so, could I set them up and sit anywhere I wanted

Mario Boggan hits the gamewinning 3-pointer in the epic triple-overtime 105-103 win over Kevin Durant's Texas team, in Gallagher-Iba Arena on Jan. 16, 2007. He also had 20 rebounds that night. One of the most legendary games ever played in GIA

Usually I collect sports related items, not old heavy folding chairs. Gets interesting on the backside. Even more so under the seat. Original name of Gallagher-Iba Arena was "The 4H and Student Activities Building". Wish it could tell me some stories

Football's over, now come the winter sports. At age 82, Gallagher-Iba Arena is a treasure. Think about the athletes, students, faculty, performers, artists, coaches, and everyone else, who have spent time there. You can feel the history when you walk in

Here’s one of the Jimmy Johnson-era black helmets (1980-83). Some of the very first of these were simply painted-over burnt orange helmets from the year before (look at the lineman in the photo), but not this one. It’s very pretty

I've been working for a while to find 16 of these that have Pete at the left. 3 are new but use a vintage version of Pete. The oldest are from the mid-1950s. All are considered full-size pennants (12"x30"ish) and the diameter is about 5 feet

Here is a game-week message on behalf of all the students who lived in Cordell Hall, just west of the football stadium, from 1939 until 1983. The building was removed in 2018. It's visible in the 1998 aerial shot after it was converted from dorm use

If you've watched my nonsense for a while, you know I love vintage college logos and graphics. Like these two, many come from old decals. Arizona St changed from "College" in 1958, about the same time Okla A&M College became OSU. But the point is,

Spring 1983 at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium in Stillwater, OK. The early days of what is now known as "The Bomb Squad". Packed houses, great players, an annual Big 8 title and trip to Omaha. If you witnessed it, you know how great it was

Another big-time receiver who gets overlooked a little, Adarius Bowman was a 3-time CFL All Star and a Grey Cup champ in 2015 with Edmonton. One of Mike Gundy's first stars, always a big-play threat. His 300 yds receiving vs KU still no. 1 in the record book

A personal item I've not shared before. I once did some photography work at Eddie's benefit golf tournament.
Gave him a business card when he asked. Soon, this letter and one of the "10" lapel pins showed up. He's been a HOF-er in my book for a long time.

The Garage restaurant in Stillwater, previously Cowboy Book, the Grey Fox, and for many years, Swim's Campus Shop, displays a survivor sign from the Swim's days. I found a 1951 Life Magazine photo of it hanging in Swim's. Have a burger and check it out
