I will be wearing this to the game watch on Saturday (and hopefully Monday.)

I have a similar blazer I inherited from my grandfather but I'm not wearing it to Indy because we've lost the only two games I've worn it to in person (Lovie against UNC and Reliaquest). Instead I found this gem while unpacking today. Going to be a Mirkoholic.

One of mine, my favorite amongst many items I've collected over the years. I have an 88-89 jersey too, with the Final Four jersey patch (very hard to find) signed by Kenny Battle; I still haven't framed that one.

The patches on this are not sewn on (the Final Four and 100 Year Anniversary jersey patches were not easy to find), but stuck on with velcro, so they look a little sloppy. I need to get them professionally sewn at some point, and get it professionally mounted. Not a great picture, need to get a better one at some point.

I received this in a secret santa gift exchange one of the first years I was at my company. This guy has been sitting on my file cabinet for ~20 years now. I am a bit OCD, so the signs are actually pointing in the correct directions.

I’m in STL for today only. Anybody here know where I can get Final Four merch at retail?

That banner from SFC (sorry for the lighting) and my selfie with Z at Starbucks before the Iowa game are top 3 for me at the moment. And Coach O and Mirk autographed jersey from the game at Nebraska. That one is getting a crazy framing this summer 🤣

Pretty easy to guess when I was in school at Illinois.

Paint the Hall Orange from 2004
Piece of Assembly Hall Floor from 200-2007
Chief's Last Dance collage
Autographed Dee Brown Jersey (with my '04-'05 Orange Krush headband on top)
Framed Dee Brown SI issue from March '05

Looking across the room at this corner, I am proud to own all 5 '04-'05 Bobbleheads

That blank space above them is reserved for an 8x10 of Deron taking the shot to tie their Elite 8 game against Arizona. It's been a whole thing trying to track down an image of that shot. Unsuccessful so far.

I am jacked that I am going to have to re-organize and tighten things up to make space for all the items I collect from this season. 😁
