Not sure what to think of this.....

[drail14me]

but I just got an email from the Athletic Dept where they are auctioning off Jack's chair from the broadcast booth. That would be a nice collectible piece to have but damn! A legend sat in that chair and hasn't been gone a WEEK and they're auctioning off his stuff? It seems like the trophy case in the Hump would be a good place for that chair with his other memorabilia. Of course, I'm sure someone will pony up more than the $1000 starting bid for it.

then Jack obviously "endorses" it. The email I got didn't say who benefits from it, athletic dept I guess?

Could they not get the man a better sitting device?

It would fit in a display case very easily. I'm sure the future stadium expansion/renovations will include some sort of hall of fame area or just some general display stuff. Jack's broadcast chair would be a good addition to something like that if this thing would only go for a few grand...

The winning bid could always donate it back to the university to be put on display.</p>

anybody with enough cash laying around to buy that chair is probably going to give it back to the university as a memorabilia item donated by the guy with enough cash laying around to buy the chair

Jack's chair, he must have farted in to this cafeteria chair thousands of times. Enjoy.

But an orange chair with Jack's signature on it? I guess I could stick it in my Lime Green party room where we still host key parties.....I think it matches the beanbag chair.

this chair is a true symbol of MSU tradition. Are you true Maroon?

"Now auctioning the chair Jack Cristil once walked by that was holding open a stairwell door in Dorman Hall while he headed out for a piss and a smoke break. Believed to have been 1976. This chair* is a true symbol of MSU tradition.


* Cristil's actual broadcast chair will not be auctioned, idiots."

and an eBay account is sitting on top of a potential gold mine!

Do you have to hold personal property for a year and a day before donating the item to a 501(c)(3) in order to qualify for a charitable deduction donation?
