Agreed. I've got lots of "smalls" that I absolutely LOVE...wasn't able to take it to the GTO level until this year. It's the car I"ve always dreamed of, but never thought I'd actually own.
I've got the front page of the Missoulian the day after winning the championship in '95...some day I'll get that framed and added to my wall. Wish I had the 2001 Missoulian as well....they'd make a nice pair, framed and on the wall.

I also have a few pictures of a Camellia Bowl Grizzly helmet and souvenir-sized football. Fun Items. I verified the helmet with a friend who was a Griz player in this game. It shows lots of game use. It has a MacGregor 100MH
stamp on it that I forgot to take a photo of.
Remember to left click on the images and you will get a supersized view.
That is some keeper stuff right there. Amazing you've had it for 40+ years! Awesome stuff...
I've read this thread a dozen times now and there are some pretty cool things here. I've spent a lot of time thinking about my own pile of Griz stuff that's accumulated over the decades. The house, the man cave, my offices, the family cabin are all filled with this and that. But I have to say, the two things that I prize the most from the U of M are the two degrees hanging on the office wall.
Go Griz and ftc!

My most prized Griz possession is my hat that I purchased in 1992. The hat and I have shared many adventures. It now only comes out for special occasions.
It survived an attack by a doberman pincer in 1994 that put a hole in the front. In 1995 while working for the Forest Service a piss licking camp deer snatched it out of my backpack and chewed the crap out of it. I chased the deer for about 20 minutes to get the hat back. A well thrown rock finally got it to drop the hat. I had to do a backcountry repair job with a pair of blue jeans and cinnamon flavored dental floss. Then in 1999 I walked into the Rockin' R' Bar wearing the hat. It just so happened that the Bobcats just finished Spring ball that day and the entire team was in the bar. I was cornered and told it was either my ass or the hat. Needless to say the hat lost. The team signed it and wrote FTG all over it in sharpie and it was hung behind the bar. Luckily a friend of mine worked for Ralph and was able to retrieve it for me later. A couple of washes with some infomercial magical cleaner removed most of the marker.

Actually my entire life is in storage so not sure. But if I recall correctly I have some autographed Griz cards.....I think they were for football, basketball and Lady Griz.....been a few years so those came out.

Well, that just confirms it. The Bobcats are a bunch of douches. :| :| :|

Fun thread, great items, and wonderful stories about what they have been through. The Griz Frankenhat is a classic story! The right guy bought that hat. Way to go. A father and son moment with a Griz great captured on film. It does not get any better than that. The educational degrees from the U of M are indeed beloved Griz items.
I appreciate the compliments about the helmet and program I posted. Thank you. I will post a couple other items that are older and fun to look at. They are also reminders that Griz fever has been around for quite some time. It was passed on to many of us and I am glad we are keeping it alive and passing it on to the next generations.
These images are of an early souvenir Grizzy megaphone that The Wilma Theatre provided to fans attending the game. I am not sure how early it is. It is the only one I have come across. It is well made, but made from paper and so many paper based items did not survive the years. It is 5" tall. Remember to "Left click" to supersize the photo.

Here is a nice old Griz-Cat program from 1925. As you can tell by the photo with running scores of the games up till this year, the Grizzlies got off to an early lead and have hung onto it.
There are some great names on this program, including Wild Bill Kelly and Russell Sweet. Would love to have watched them play....and thank you "biga75."

Nice collection GloveDaddy. Obviously years of serious picking; good job.
I have 2 that come to mind
1- An old copper and gold football signed by Scott Gragg. My Grandpa, through a mutual friend, arranged for us to go to his house and meet him. I musta been about 8 or 9. I remember getting to put on his helmet. Pretty neat.
2- An unopened Kessler beer bottle my Dad gave me. Its a 1985 Washington Grizzly Stadium stadium beer. We plan on drinking it after the Griz win their next National Championship, hope we don't get too sick, haha.

Came across this old post tonight and thought it deserved a bump, given the off season. Hopefully, a few more will add and share.
Best to all those Griz Fans out there!

1995 and 2001 team autographed footballs. My brother in law was a student trainer and had a football signed by the 1995 team and gave it to me for my birthday, They went on to win the National Championship. I bought the 2001 at an alumni auction.
