How do you represent the C?

[swg]

What kind of UC gear ya got?

Anyone here have a UC man room?

What's the best place (aside from bookstore) to get good deals.

 

[swg]

Quick inventory:

I've got two UC hats, two hoodies (one white, one black). Two hats (both black). Red sweatshirt, one black t-shirt.

...and no man room (yet).

I got one of the hats at Meijer's for five dollars. Kid you not. I normally never buy hats at places like that (for that cheap), but it was a great hat for the price.

 

[adrock]

2 pairs of UC shorts, 4 short-sleeved t-shirts, 2 long-sleeved t-shirts, 1 short-sleeved polo shirt, 1 long-sleeved button down shirt, 1 hat, 2 hoodies, 2 jackets, 1 pair of slippers (don't hate), and 1 knit cap.

And 1 of these foam-filled stretchy pillow things...it's my wife's. Don't make fun.

 

[BrahmaBulls]

12 short sleeved t-shirts, 7 long sleeved t-shirts, 2 polo shirts, 1 long sleeve dress shirt, 8 sweatshirts, 1 vest, 3 pull overs, too many hats too count, 2 blankets (1 made by mother-in-law for Christmas - best gift of 2009), couple of bobble heads, pom poms from last couple of bowl trips, Huggs and Bugs signed poster, signed basketball, leather desk chair, mugs/cups, X-mas decorations, and most importantly an engineering diploma hanging on my office wall.

UC man cave hopefully coming in 2009 including bar, 42" plasma on wall, additional posters, and leather Bearcat sofa.

 

[adrock]

Right. Forgot the diploma.

And Brahma, you might want to watch who you tell about your propensity for pom poms.

Though they are in the house - their use is by my daughters. Have to make sure that they represent the C at a young age.

Too much UC gear to name, just know that I could wear a different shirt/polo to every basketball game and football game all season long!

P.S. I think our adidas gear is the $HIT!!!

Bastard.

I need to ask to give more hints to my family. Need more gear! (and a flag for outside wouldn't be bad either, and I've asked for that for couple years now.

(Can you tell I don't shop for myself much)

I rock the T's and hoodies regularly. Got a short-sleeve Jordan warm-up that is sweet, but hard to coordinate (I miss Jordan sponsoring us). Also have a nice red C-paw jacket that I love and wear most of the time. The highlight of my wardrobe are my white C-paw adidas. Not the best looking shoe and they are slightly small (biggest size they had) but I don't see anyone out there rocking Bearcat shoes.

For the house, I put up what the wife will allow. I have a small room that she reluctantly let me put up my knick-knacks. Some model cars and sports stuff. Most of the sports stuff is Reds/Dave Parker related (he's my all-time fav) but I do have some Bearcats stuff up. A few bobbleheads, my Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl tickets, mini-helmet (old logo, need to get a new one), some shot glasses and a mug, engraved mini basketball. FWIW I put my Bearcats stuff across the top shelves to maximize their appearance. Need to get our diplomas up there, not a lot of wall space left.

Now for the shootout and other big games I get to put my 3 flags up and a nice pennant and all my other stuff into the living room to create a temporary man-cave atmosphere. I try to leave it up for a few days after but the wife always slowly takes the stuff down and nags me about it. When we get a house with a finished basement it will be a man cave.

The car has the UC plates on them. That can be a double-edged sword after those embarrassing shootout losses, but I drive it with pride even to road games. I recently bought a 63 impala in red and black and named her Lucy (after the Bearcat mascot) but the wife won't let me put UC plates on her since I only drive it about once a week if that in the warm months.

The best way I represent the C is just being all about UC. Anyone who knows me knows my team and my pride for it. I'm in and out of places for work and have been catching flack about basketball from some, but I always defend us and show my colors. I welcome it because when they ride me about it I know a) they know I'm a Bearcat and b) they like me enough to give me crap in the first place.

Speaking of representing the C... does anyone know if the bookstore sells the custom UC Adidas Basketball Shoes?... there was a picture of the one's I'm talking about featured on the tickets page a while back as the men's basketball pic but it's not longer there... They were sick and I looked everywhere for them but couldn't find them, until one person told me they thought they had seen them at the bookstore...

I went to the bookstore before the Weber St. game specifically to look for those shoes. Did not see them nor have I ever seen shoes at the bookstore. I got a pair of adidas at the outlet store that had interchangeable logos/color combos for the 3 stripes and C-paws were one of them. Saw a pair of UC Jordans years ago at a Nike outlet, but only had a size 18. I've looked online at adidas.com for some and haven't found them. I'm guessing the official shoes are only made for the team in limited quantities and thus are hard to come by. Again, that is a guess.

You might run it now, but the TYZ is taking over......just kidding. I applaud you and others who have the time and energy to run these boards.

Thought of another way I represent the C! I've been featured on ESPN telecast several times. Friends joke that I'm the Jack Nicholson or Spike Lee of the Bearcats because I've been on so often. The most notable time was at the Hawaii game last year after Goebel fumbled the kickoff. With only maybe 500 UC fans there all in one spot my antics kind of stuck out. I also started the tradition of banging on the wall at football games 3 years ago. I was pissed they wouldn't let us do it this year. I love my front row seats though. (Those seats and our banging got us featured a few times on TV.)

I am jealous of Cin City's man cave. That might just motivate me to start getting some more memorabilia. We need to figure a way to get an invite for a road game party at his place.

I saved everything UC when I was growing up. I mean everything. I have loved UC since I was 7. I'm 26 now. That's a lot of "stuff" I bought my first house last february. I knew I wanted a UC room. Sadly, I have enough stuff not up to complete another good sized room. I call it the "Hall of Champions". It is great to watch a game in. So anytime you all are close to Louisville let me know and you are more than welcome to swing by.

I have a X in the toilet.

I have a couple of hats,sweatshirts,t-shirts a pullover, clock, wastebasket , a stuffed bearcat and two Bob Huggins bobbleheads in the box. One of them when you pull the string says I'm going to Ralph1950!

I used to have a Kennedy bobblehead that said "Don't even start an international incident!".
