OL Ivan Douglas (National Champion, R.I.P.)

$20,000??? That's nuts. BTW Sims started that Fiesta Bowl IIRC.

 

[Bucktastic]

Guess it didnt really mean too much to him.

Come to think of it did any of the other starters from that team not get any type of shot in the NFL? Too bad Ivan had the injuries or he probably would have.

Last night I was watching this years fiesta bowl on ESPN classic and one of the facts that came across the screen was that 52 players from tOSU and Miami have played in the pros from that year.

This brings up a question I just invented: how much would you pay an OSU player (current or former) for a ring (either for a bowl game or national championship)?

$20, but I'm poor.

Nothing, I wouldn't accept it.

I'd like to think I wouldn't, either. It might be a cool thing to have, but it's not such a cool thing if I wasn't the one who earned it.

I don't understand the allure something that personalized and awarded for individual achievement as a part of the team... I obviously understand the bling and fandom factor, but it just seems like a really strange thing to take pride in

I am a monster memorabilia collector, especially Ohio State and the Chicago Bears, and I get a whole bunch of stuff at the pro HOF every year too.

That said, I wouldn't want a ring at all, because I didn't play or earn it. It wasn't my national championship. It would be like me trying to sell my PhD.

 

[JXC]

I'd rather have a game used football or some of the turf, or a game use jersey.

 

[NewYorkBuck]

I would never buy that except for an investment, and I dont think its got much room to go up at over 20k.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

The only way I'd buy something like that were if it were to raise money for either charity or a scholarship fund.

I think they quoted 51 had played in the NFL....but this # will increase with the addition of Hawk, Carpenter, Sims, Salley?, and probably some canes next year

Hate To See This

Looking through Ebay for some OSU gear to buy for my father, I ran into this. This is sad. Please move thread elsewhere if it doesn't belong here. Of course, you'd do that anyway.
