What would you do if

[PIGskin Pride]

What would you do if you came across some long forgotten hats signed by Bobby Petrino? 



My wife and I are on a de-clutter mission and came across these.  Rachel said "what the heck should we do with these?"  I figured I would ask hogville for some ideas!

[Hog N Bama]

You should carry on with your decluttering

[Huds_HawgTide]

Shred them

[PIGskin Pride]

Finally got the picture up...

Hog n bama, I needed a break. 
Huds, that was my first thought.

[BornaHog]

Give em to the BP lovers that haunt this board if they will PM you!!!!!!!!   LOL    WPS    :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback:   GHG

[Cinco de Hogo]

Depends, I seldom keep things like that forever unless it might have monetary value which I doubt those would.  There not something you would want wear most likely but on the other hand they seem to have been signed for you in person by the man himself.  How much did that mean to you at the time and how much do you hate?  Myself I probably wouldn't keep something like that forever but not for the reasons others wouldn't.

I wonder how many rid themselves of Nolan Richardson or Eddie Sutton memorabilia.

[RzRbAcK18]

Keep them and you never know. Same reason I keep my Tyler Wilson signed football.

[The Big O Oliver Squeeler]

Hang on to them.  They might be worth something someday.  It's a crazy world. 

[Richard_white]

I have only kept two things as far as sports memorabilia.  The 1994 National Championship shirt signed by the starters and CNR.  And the 1992 Dallas Cowboys signed by Troy Aikman and Jimmy Johnson.

[reddogjcss]

Pack them away.

[TexArkHogFan]

My step-daughter has a pair of cut off jean shorts signed by the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders.  Wish I could wear them and was good at lying as to how I got them. 

[HappyHogFan]

I have a very few such items that I have kept.

A Peyton Manning signed football
A Matt Jones signed jersey
A Tim Tebow signed game program
A team signed ball from 1994

and a Houston Nutt signed game program

Of all those, I think we know which one is not the same as the others, but I keep it anyway.

I'd keep the Petrino signed hats, he was part of our history, regardless of how it ended.

See if you can get Jessica to sign them. Might make them more valuable to the BP lovers.

[Hoggish1]

[Bubba's Bruisers]

It could have been worse.  Like a bunch of hats signed by Nutt.

[rljjr]

Maybe find some of the players from his teams and have them sign the hats too, so it's more about the teams than the coach.

[Mike_e]

You do the same thing as you would a soiled American flag. 

Build a fire, salute them, and then burn them.

Be sure to scatter the ashes.   

[onebadrubi]

All joking aside the wounds heal he caused and he will be just another coach that left with issues after getting us to our first BCS game.  Bielema winning will cure those wounds faster, making it worth it to keep your hats. 

Joking though, send to Jessica's husband

[LAHog124]

Funny story actually, my uncle was on a cruise the month before CBP decided to be Evil Kenievel and wreck, and he was at a auction on the ship and a CBP signed football came up for bid, he bid on it and won it (he's an A&M fan btw) and then at Christmas that same year he gave it to my dad and everyone was dying laughing, it was quite hysterical

[(notOM)Rebel123]

Aw, just put them in the Rubbermade tub with the rest of your stuff.

[lasthog]

Put them under a black light.

[Vildsvin]

I'm no Petrino fan but I'd definitely keep them.

A) Arkansas history non-the-less

B) Bobby could end up doing something crazy and you could offload those on eBay for a pretty penny.

I still dont understand why everyone was so quick to ditch their Hernandez jerseys .. Imagine if you had a USC OJ Simpson signed jersey

[PORKULATOR]

Hang on to them and the good memories from those years.
wps

[The Boar War]

Never did "get" the appeal of autographs.

I agree. And he gave us two of the best seasons we've had since the '80s. We always talk about the hole he put us in by his actions (which is true), but he DID remind us that it was possible for Arkansas to be a fearsome football team for more than once every ten years. That's worth at least something, especially considering the damage our confidence has taken since we joined the SEC.

[Sivad]

Those make great gag gifts.

[pigture perfect]

Hats are always needed for fishing and lawn mowing or painting. Use 'em.

[HogShat]

Drop a duece in one and cover it up with the other....

[Inhogswetrust]

Never did "get" the appeal of autographs.

Especially from celebrities of any type.

[HF#1]

I'd ship them to Louisville with a pic of Jessica inside.

[jry04]

Only two of them. Not going to be able to get a pretty penny for personalized autographs, like "To Claire."

[hogwild6700]

Try to sell all four for $60 to a Louisville fan or a Petrino fanatic-then go out and buy you a bottle of A)Glenlivet 18 YR  B) Crown Royal Reserve  C) Any Bordeaux Wine  D) A Gift Card from Paper Moon.

Let us know which one you pick.

By the way-my wife suggested that you just mail them to Petrino's office.

[oldman1015]

[PorkRinds]

Pee all over them, then mail to Petrino's office address, care of Jessica Dorell.

[go hogues]

Otis? Is that you?

[TrueBlue]

We have a winner! (We forgive, but we don't forget!)

[Rzbakfromwaybak]

Send them to 4 different media reporters, to wear when they interview Petrino at Louisville press conferences this fall.....

[Sportster365]

... I sang out of tune?

[Sed76]

Why did you get him to sign multiple hats? One I can understand.

[HogWall Jackson]

Keep them hoping they will have value after he retires? or List them on E-Bay and see what they bring now.

[Wildhog]

Send them to me.

[Professor Psychosis]

... I sang out of tune?

I'd very likely walk out on you.

Sorry.  I'm not going to lend you my ears or anything.

[Hoginsavga]

Some Hog fans are totally selfish and unforgiving. BP brought our team back to prominence for two years and I am proud for those years. Yes, he made a mistake and he and Hog fans paid dearly.  I don't hold a grudge against BP nor any other former Hog coach. For those of you that live in glass houses please cast the first stone.

I would keep the hats and wear them proudly, except the pink.

[Calling All Hogs]

Put them under a black light.

This is very good advice. You never know where Petrino's hands might have been.

"Made a mistake".

It's not just "Crash & Fraud". He's abusive to his staff and players, and to the media and community as well by all accounts that I've heard. He has a pattern of dishonorable behavior that I consider to be a stain on the history of the program despite the W's on the field. I'd toss the hats without a second thought. Bad memories.

It'd be different if he'd learned. But it sounds like it's the same song and dance at UL.

[SouthSide Johnny]

I'll take them to add to my collection

[CabotHog87]

Give them to that reporter that was wearing the Florida hat. Now she'll have plenty of options.

[slim72315]

I would mail them to his office in Louisville

[hawkhawg]

Put them in a box and throw them in the back of your attic. When you die your grandkids can deal with them.  They will think they are cool or trash them.

One of my Soldier's father-in-law is an alumni of UL and supporter of the team there. Haven't heard but good news coming from them about the return of BP. What might you be hearing and from what avenues of info?
