It's The Holiday Season.. I'm Giving Stuff Away (update March 4)

  • CHECK LAST REPLY for UPDATE

    That's right, I am in the holiday spirit and I am giving away programs, newspapers and other items I have collected over my 25 years of covering OSU athletics.

    This giveaway is for current Bucknuts subscribers and I only have limited supplies of these items (in some cases just 1). I will explain the "rules" in the reply below.

    The reason: I want to play Santa ... and I also want to clean out my office so I can walk through it. I think FEMA was here last week and declared it a disaster. There are only so many programs from the 1997 OSU-Indiana game that one man needs, right?

    There is NO COST for subscribers. If, once you receive your gift, you want to kick me $2-$3 for postage and/or something else I will donate the money to a local food bank. (Our church feeds kids in the community all summer long.)

    You MUST follow the instructions on the reply below. I will send nothing to anybody who submits a request as a reply to this thread.

    Here is what I am giving away:

    A few copies of my book, Greatest Game Ever Played on the OSU-Miami game

    Programs from (maybe only 1-2 available per game):

    Michigan 1996
    Notre Dame 1995
    Rose Bowl 1997
    Notre Dame at ND 1996
    Penn State 2002
    Michigan State 2003
    Iowa 2003
    Sugar Bowl 1998 vs FSU
    Virtually any game between 1996-2004
    2006 at Texas
    BCS Championship vs Fla 2007
    2005 Texas
    2006 Fiesta Bowl Notre Dame
    2006 Penn State
    2007 at Washington
    2004 Michigan
    2004 Fiesta vs. K-State
    2005 Illinois bkb No. 1 goes down
    2007 UNC basketball
    2008 at Wiisconsin football
    2007 NCAA regional at San Antonio
    2007 at Michigan

    2006 Michigan 1 vs 2
    2007 Tennessee bkb Oden cover
    2007 at PSU ftb
    2007 Wisconsin bkb 1 vs 2
    2009 Fiesta Bowl vs Texas
    2008 at USC
    2008 Penn State
    2009 Navy
    2009 Wisconsin
    2011 Penn State
    2010 Penn State
    2011 Wisconsin

    Also some periodicals:

    Reds Report so long to Cinergy Field 2002
    BSB beating Michigan 2002
    BSB winning NC Jan 2003
    BSB Football Preview Mike Doss cover 2002
    BSB beat Notre Dame 1995
    BSB magazine Year To Remember 1998 ftb, 1999 F4
    BSB 20 Years To Remember (stories from 1981-2001)
    Bucknuts The Magazine 2007 FB preview
    BTM 2008 FB Preview
    BSB 1996 Rose Bowl commemorative
    BTM 2009 FB Preview

    If there are other games you need for your collection from 1994-2012, please inquire.

    This is my way of spreading joy in the holiday season.

    Again, no requests via replies here will be honored. You MUST read the instructions in the next post and follow them to be eligible to receive. No promises anything will be delivered by Xmas, either.

  • Overwhelmed by the responses so far. Over 50. There is NO OBLIGATION on your part. After you get your gift in the mail, you can reimburse for postage and/or send a small gift for charity if you like. But otherwise NO CHARGE for these gifts I will be sending out. Believe me, my wife will say whatever we spend on postage it will be money well spent to get rid of extra stuff in my office.

  • UPDATE as of Dec. 27, 11 p.m. -- I have put about half the items in envelopes and will send them Friday. The other half I hope to send on Saturday. Will advise. This has been fun so far.

    There will be letters in each envelope for instructions on how to reimburse or donate to our church's Kids Eat Free program.

    Thanks to everybody who participated.

  • Update at 3 p.m. Jan. 10:

    OK, I am putting 22 more pieces into the mail today. That leaves about 15 to still send.

    I have received contributions from 2 of the previous people we sent stuff to. One of them sent $31.24 (kind of creative, huh). We will make sure that money gets to the church for the Kids Eat Free program.

    Here are last names I am still trying to get stuff together for: James, Channels, Penix, Wilcox, Hertenstein, Chavez, Wright, Huwer, Stockdale, Galloway, Davis, Missik, Bush, Spitznogle, Raymond (need mailing address).

    Will advise when I can get those last 15 taken care of. PM me if any questions.

  • I need to report that I just received a gift of $100 in the mail for our church's Kids Eat Free program from one of our gift recipients. My wife Amy and I were floored when we opened the envelope. That makes three donations for a total of $141.24 so far. Really do appreciate it!!

    I have 16 people to still send gifts to (listed above plus one more request that just came in yesterday). I will get on those ASAP.

    Thanks again and when I have more of an update, I will let you know.

  • If you can post a list of whatever stuff you have left, Steve, may be worthwhile.
