Buckeye Autograph Sessions (all merged)

[3074326]

I'll be at one of them. Is it strictly a book signing, or are we allowed to bring other items? I have one item that I'd love to have Tress sign.

I would imagine that would work. I went to a Cal Ripken Jr. book signing, after he was done with the books, he signed baseballs and other stuff for people for about 10 minutes, then his rep was a dick, he's like we got a plane to catch. I tried to get a couple extra baseballs signed so I could sell them on eBay.

Has there ever been any Buckeyes who sign stuff in Chicago and around the area?

And people wonder why some of these guys are dicks about signing autographs. If someone wants one for their own collection then thats cool, but to ask for a bunch of extra ones just so you can sell them on ebay is a dick move on the part of the person who is trying to get the person to sign.

Great point!!! I do like getting autos but I have to admit I don't understand why people buy autographs someone else got? To me when you get an autograph it usually a special type of thing and a memory. Its too bad sports collectors have to ruin just about everything.

Football: Members of the OSU football team will be participating in a charity event this month to benefit the Kidney Cancer Association.
As part of their membership in a student organization called Uplifting Athletes, around 20 OSU football players will participate in a college football video game tournament on Wednesday, July 30, at Eddie George's Grill 27 in Columbus from 4-8 PM.

Players will compete head-to-head in the competition. Fans will have the opportunity to meet the players and collect autographs as well as win door prizes.

"The Uplifting Athletes organization allows OSU athletes to raise awareness of people to rare diseases," said safety Kurt Coleman. "As players, this is a great way to use college football to help a group of people who need help the most."
Uplifting Athletes at Ohio State was formed by former Buckeye Matt Daniels whose father is battling kidney cancer. Ohio State joins Penn State, Maryland and Colgate in the Uplifting Athletes program.

Admission is $65.00 with limited tickets available.

To purchase tickets, visit Uplifting Athletes.org ​

I sure hope that they cleared this with the athletic department. There have been cases where current football players have done something for a charity and the NCAA rules it violated some obscure rule, etc.

The story is featured on the Football page at the OSU Athletic web site along with blurb on the O-Zone, so I'm guessing the Athletic Dept. knows / has cleared the event. :)

Video Game Tourney

Well, if anyone was on the fence about attending the Uplifting Athletes Video Game Tournament, it was really great.
I took a 16x20 that I had printed at FedEx Kinkos and got some great signatures:

James Laurinitis
Malcolm Jenkins
Beanie Wells
Todd Boeckman
Brian Hartline
Brian Robiskie
Kurt Coleman
Curtis Terry
Donald Washington
Taurian Washington

The organizer probably couldn't publicize individual athletes and I certainly wasn't expecting these guys to be there.
There were about 25 or 30 players there in total and it was really informal. A great event for a great cause!

Good shots of the guys just relaxed and hanging out at the Uplifting Athletes event.

Beanie Wells, after throwing down his cap, reacts in shock after failing to score on the last play of the game, falling in a semifinal to Donald Washington (back to the camera).

If you're an Ohio State fan with $65 to spare, you might want to watch some videogames next year.

Wednesday's charity event at Eddie George's 27 Grille didn't get a ton of publicity in its first go-round, and the players were only told about it Sunday night. But come on ... it was playing NCAA 2009 to raise money for cancer. Not exactly heavy lifiting.

Still, it was stunning to find nearly every major member of the Buckeyes, at least more than 50 in total, hanging out Wednesday, with so few fans there to soak in the atmosphere, get autographs at will and watch what college athletes might really act like in their free time.
