Banner Saved

[Newsdreams]

The 1977 Championship banner was to be thrown in the garbage once new banners were installed. Students rescued the 1977 Championship banner.

Really?  Is there a story behind this?  Why wouldn't they auction it off?  Or cut it up into tiny squares and auction off a bunch of it?

You could get a pretty penny selling this

True story, can't say names they might get in trouble, but students who are friends of my son, and worked for MUBB Comm. have it. Son sent me the picture last night. They were ordered to throw it in the dumpster and decided to keep it. My son graduated last year and is working in Milwaukee. Still has lots of friends in school.

Got to agree with Chicos here.  I mean they were selling bricks from the Lanche and there's no reason this wouldn't have equal interest.

I do not have it check post above for the story. I've been out of school for 30 yrs LOL. The students decided against selling it. They want it to remain at MU.

And not only this one, but all of the old banners.  Many would like to have them, and someone is beyond stupid if they really thought to throw them out and leave a good chunk of change for the B&G fund on the table.  Even find another location on campus for them, but throwing them out suggests total incompetence.

I know sounds dumb. Why wouldn't they? I'll try to get an answer from my son latter today don't want to wake him up now...

Sounds like somethin' Crean has his paws into.

Will verify this angle. I'm sure we can get him connected to this somehow!

Is this the one from the Bradley Center or from the Al?  I thought the Al had a similar one, though it might been totally different in design.

This is absurd. At best this is now an urban legend. No one was "ordered" to throw a banner in a dumpster only to have it "saved." Give me a break.

It certainly sounds silly....need more info.

From what I was told last night it is the one from Bradley, but I will check and make sure. I thought it might be the AL one, but either way I think it is a big mistake to throw either one away.

No need for urban legend. As I said son sent the picture last night is not like a friend of a friend of his. He was with the guys who have it last night. He took the picture on his phone and sent it to me. As I said I was told it was the Bradley one, but it could be the AL's. I try to make sure ask again today.

Inspired by this, I think I'll throw out my T206 Honus Wagner baseball card, too.

Is it because the banner says Warriors???

That would be interesting. Maybe they are not allowed to make money from the Warrior name would that be in the agreement?

[Newsdreams]

Just talked to my son and it is confirmed that it is the Bradley Center one. I'll be awya from the computer for a while going to family Thanksgiving party.

So when will we see this bad boy in the trading post?

[seakm4]

I sure hope they saved the 2006 CBE Classic Banner too!

[77ncaachamps]

That's awesome.

God bless them.

Looks like they've affixed it to the ceiling. Looks ginormous.

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

Tell them to get back out to that dumpster and find the Avalanche neon sign

If they really have it, I'll give them $1,000.00 cash for it. PM if they are interested.

Like I said they are not interested to get coin for it. To them this is bigger than $$. Great MU students/fans. This was their setup for today's game
