Buckeye Autograph Sessions (all merged)

I didn't want to start a new thread for this, and it doesn't exactly fit with this thread (autograph sessions), yet an autograph is involved.

Friday night was the main fundraiser for the youth football league in which I coach. It is a reverse raffle dinner. There is a main board, several side boards, Chinese auction items, and some silent auction items. There is also an open bar which means I never drive home from this event :biggrin:.

Well one of the silent auction items was an OSU #10 jersey, beautifully framed, and autographed by Troy Smith. I mentioned to Mrs. buckiprof how sweet it would look in our Buckeye basement and didn't think anymore about it.

A couple of hours later, when they announced the silent auction winners, I wasn't paying any attention...I was at the bar doing some shots actually. After the shots, I grabbed a couple of beers and headed towards our table. Once there I was standing and talking to some folks when my wife comes up, lugging this huge framed #10 jersey autographed by Troy Smith, and tells me "Merry Christmas Honey!". I about pissed my pants!

I think I actually had that feeling that young ones have on Christmas morning when they receive that one gift that they really, really wanted. The only difference is, I still had a couple of more hours of drinking.

Did anyone else waste time in this line today? By 11am, Cris hadn't yet arrived and the goofball DJ's were telling folks that Cris's plane was delayed and he was "on campus" and arriving any minute. I finally split for a beer and a sandwich, only to swing back by at 11:45 to hear the same story repeated from the diehards still in line.

As it turns out, Cris was already in the stadium and blew off the signing all together. What a poor event from ATT...I'm sure Cris's flight schedule impacted it, but the goofballs running the show from ATT could've just told folks that it wasn't going to happen vs. keeping them out in the cold.

:blush: I didn't even know he was going to be there (at the stadium) but after the game was over, noticed his son, Duron walking out of the south endzone with some of the other recruits...

Yep, there Cris was with him...shocked the hell out of me, but I ran around to the gate where it looked like like he'd exit and got him to sign a pic of him I've carried with me to the home games this year since I heard Duron was committing to the Bucks (hoping he'd be visiting at some point :biggrin:)

Sorry your event was a bust, but I'll bet next season (and seasons to come) he'll show up at the Shoe from time to time. :wink2:

it eventually did happen though. But it was after the game. I was walking by after the game and just happen to hear the dj saying cris carter is in there getting ready to sign autographs in just a few minutes....saw the line wasn't long at all (mostly cause no knew what the line was far), so i stood in line, got my michigan ticket signed and took one of the pictures he was signing.

When will we see the senior signings start? I know they usually do this in the December-February range. TIA

None (Senior signing circuit) will happen in December (before our Bowl game)...but the malls, cardboard heroes, Ohio Signatures Unlimited, etc. will start making announcements soon after that.

There used to be a great! free event for the whole team in the City Center Mall in December, before the Bowl game, but it's been a couple years since they've done one of those I think.

A decent site to keep track of upcoming events is:

www.signingshotline.com (click 'Future Autograph Events', then 'Ohio' in the State search box, 'Submit'...that usually does the trick...you can refine the search further to 'Football' or even a particular player, but you'll get the idea)

You usually have to wait until just a few days before the event for them to reveal the info for free, but it's still a pretty good resource in that respects.

Lots of Seniors + Beanie (probably :() should equal lots of Buckeye signings.

Autographs before/after practice?

Hello all, new to the board, but I've enjoyed reading over the posts.
I'm going to be in Columbus for the holiday, and was thinking of hanging out at OSU on Monday. Would anyone help out an out-of-town Buckeye fan who's looking for an autograph or two from the team before they depart for the holiday?
Feel free to email or PM me if you'd be so kind.
Thanks!!!

(I think it's the Buckeye Room.. there's a Buckeye Room and a Buckeye Corner in Polaris.)
