Anybody on campus have a spare al mcquire statue from the game they are willing to sell?
I imagine they will end up in the bookstore for sale if you can't find one.
I must say, one the best giveaways ever.
I got one

+1...If you need one, I saw some on Ebay for $10. I'd bought another one for my older brother.
What was the deal with people walking around with 4+ of them? As we left the BC, I saw at least a dozen people carrying stacks of them, not just a couple, but 3-4-5-6 of them.
Hard to believe people were giving them up, as indeed, that's probably one of the best giveaways ever.

There were an absolute TON left in the student section at the end of the game. I made out with a few extras but they are all accounted for.
When we walked into the game we all got one, plus when we got to our seats we there was one in every seat, so we each got away with 2. Then my girlfriend didn't want hers so I got 4.
I'd love to get my hands on one of these. Any idea where some more might be hiding or can someone hook up a fellow MU alum who lives too far away to have been at the game?
That's really odd that there were statues on seats .. they were handing them out at the door .. why would they do both? Very strange.

They asked everyone at the door: Are you sitting in the student section? If you said yes, they didn't give you one and told you it would be at your seat. I noticed the person handing them out next to my line wasn't asking the question, so I'm guessing a lot of students got two.
There are twenty statues for sale on eBay. What a surprise?

Given how many were left by drunk fans all over downtown Milwaukee, there will likely be a lot more in the coming days.
Great giveaway, great looking statue, but an 8:00 Saturday game is the wrong time for it.
I never got asked while walking in...
The reason they put them in the student section seats is because the students wait outside and then rush in, so they don't bother handing them out to the students at that time. They just put them on all the seats and the students get them when they get to a seat.
Another reason why there was a ton left is because all the people wearing the pink shirts left halfway through the 2nd half and a lot of them left behind there statues. I know the BC staff made a huge pile of them in one row, there had to be atleast 10-20 left behind
Yeah, we bounced around Water Street after the game, and abandoned statues were a common sight in every bar. Sitting on shelves, on tables, I saw one in a bathroom stall...
