BTW, it looks like you are missing this past year's IC Light Hail to Pitt can (and last season's Oakland Original's Fake Slide can).

Thanks, I didn't know they had a can come out recently.

I just happened to pick up this beaut from Ebay, which made me wonder, what's your favorite Pitt sports-related memorabilia item? I have some signed letters framed from Johnny Majors and of course, the national championship Sports Illustrated magazine as well as the '82 Sugar Bowl game program. Some dirt from underneath Pitt Stadium but no troughs though. What are some of your favorite Pitt sports-related memorabilia items you have?

My favorite stuff is from the 1963 football team given to me by Jeff Ware’s wife.

You might still be able to find them around, but if they don't have them next season, I stocked up on them so you can stop by our tailgate to get one. Remind me closer to fall if you need one.

Lol. This is going to sound like a joke, but I'm 100% serious. I have a cigar that Johnny Majors gave me after the 1996 53-52 win over Temple.

I needed whiskey after that one.

Johnny Majors signed Pitt FB helmet.

This is a really cool thread. Most of my sports memorabilia is centered around Pittsburgh pro teams, but I have a basketball signed by Coach Dixon and some guys from the 2009 Elite Eight team… best team in school history.

I was going to give the backstory on this, but flu A was kicking my ass at the time, and I said screw it.

The 1996 Temple game was also the 20-year reunion of the 76 National Championship team. I lived in Alcoa, TN (suburb of Knoxville) at the time and was a member of a gym/athletic club owned by one of Johnny's teammates at Tennessee, Lon Herzburn. (He had also coached HS ball & LBs at Tennessee) Lon was going up to the game with another Vol teammate, Frank Kolinsky. (Kolinsky was from McKees Rocks) Knowing Tony Dorsett was my childhood sports idol, and that I was a fan of Pitt, he invited me to tag along. Unfortunately, I had work obligations, and couldn't go with them, but they arranged a sideline pass for me when I arrived on gameday. Great experience. Of course, meeting TD was the highlight, but Tim Irwin, of Vikings fame was there. I also got to meet Larry Majors, Johnny's younger brother, who is like a mini-me version of Johnny with an affinity for bowties.

The post-game makeshift banquet in Pitt Stadium was a lot of fun. It was actually Frank & Lon that told Coach Majors that Ron Dickerson had just resigned in his post-game presser. They were laughing their ass off when they told him, and he initially thought they were joking. When confirmed, Majors jokingly told the room it was the first time in his career a team he was a part of a team that beat an opponent so badly the coach resigned immediately after the game. Coach was really cool. He invited me back to his house after the game to hang out and watch football. Regret not being able to take him up on the offer, but I had to get on the road.

I have the actual issues of the “Pitt Is It” SI cover from 1977, the 1974 Pitt BB team on the SI cover when they posed on Mt. Washington from which allegedly all could see their hometowns and the 1980 Hugh Green cover.

I also have a large poster of the “Pitt Is It” cover. I suspect a few of you who have that poster have me to thank for it since it was on a predecessor of this Board that I offered to provide them to people for just the cost of reproduction and postage.
