Texas gets into the online auction business

by HenryJames on Oct 27, 2009 3:19 PM CDT in Texas Longhorns and Other Football

According to TexasSports.com UT's online auction site will have 'special memorabilia from facilities and sporting events.'

First item up for bid is the first Texas flag to fly over the Frank Denius Veterans Memorial Plaza.

Future items will hopefully include the Post-it note on which Greg Davis has written all of his running plays and the unused industrial sized bottle of Purell currently sitting in Colt McCoy's locker.

Let’s buy the five pounds of weed in Ramonce Taylor’s backpack before the cops find it.

Shoes worn by James Henry used to kick bitches. Valued at “cash, cell phones and gaming equipment.”

I think we should sell Kyle Field. Between the salvage value of the metal, the concrete going for landfill, and alternative-energy companies securing the largest quantity of guano north of the Galapagos, we could make a killing.

Halloween costume: one big scary inflatable Bevo, looks like herbie husker with horns, for outside use only! Will throw in “The Bat” costume. Both lightly worn.

I would prefer the infamous orange “evil Bevo” costume if it is available. That thing was awesome.

I’ll buy the Freddie Steinmark Memorial Scoreboard. They can’t expect to get much for that no-revenue-producing relic.

Where does the bidding start on Shane Dronett’s NAACP application?

Jinx, tell me about that one, I don’t recall it.

They should just sell the items that other teams have left on the field at DKR…
I’m sure someone would bid two bits for a the Tech kicker’s facemask and half pint of snot extracted by Tony Brackens.

The missing clothes of Edwin Simmons—complete with a lingering musty marijuana smell.

One game used Cat Osterman sports bra. Preferably from a humid night.

dasmith: I looked on google to find a picture but came up empty as expected.

I don’t know where it came from or where it went, but for a short period there was this all orange mascot with black eyes that would show up at Texas basketball games with Hook ’em. It was straight out of some longhorn horror movie. We dubbed it evil Bevo.

Anyone else remember that thing? I would give anything for a photo.
