Colgate Football Collection (scan heavy)...

[nyrtfleury014]

As some of you know, I finished my football career playing at Colgate University this past year. Have been a fan of Colgate all my life and since my playing days are over here are some items I have been able to pick up. The first picture is of my rings, the rest is a taste of some of the stuff I have been able to acquire. Some of the programs and ticket stubs are my own personal ones from the games I went to growing up. I also was able to purchase the personal scrapbooks and pictures of John Orsi '32 (College Football Hall of Famer).

For the full experience click here.

This is my ticket stub from the '03 National Championship game:

Colgate plays in Andy Kerr stadium. Kerr was coach at Colgate from 1929-1946, including the 1932 undefeated, untied, unscored upon, and uninvited (to the Rose Bowl) team. Here are a few Kerr odds and ends...

Kerr made a scrapbook for John Orsi and this was the note he included with it...

A few other things...

From John Orsi's scrapbook...

The Miracle in Myrtle Beach that gave Coach Biddle his 96th win (surpassing Andy Kerr's 95 for 1st all-time at Colgate) Sept 7, 2008...

Here's a video of the Miracle in Myrtle Beach...

On eBay. There was 15 pounds of his personal pictures (including family pictures), scrapbooks, and letters included in the deal. Guess his family didn't want it, but I sure did.
