I am pretty sure this was the last year of the deal. Back to Top L.C.

I am with you here.  Even though we do not move the volume of merchandise some other schools do, I have found myself on several occasions wishing I could purchase some of the Russell gear I have seen players and coaches wear.  Most of what you see the players and coaches wear at your larger schools is available through several vendors.  I also can appreciate where Russell is coming from not wanting to be stuck with a lot of inventory that may not sell.

Why can't/doesn't Ohio Athletics open a team shop to sell official team shirts and polos just like the players and coaches wear? And Russell's retail and bookstore reps should be working tirelessly with Follett's and College Bookstore to get their product in the window and on the shelves uptown.  Back to Top bobcat72 General User Member Since: 7/2/2011 Location: Athens, OH Post Count: 540 Status: Offline     RE: Back with Russell    Posted: 5/1/2012 9:49:04 AM  R.

I didn't order one, but I do have a game jersey I bought at last year's surplus sale. I look stupid in it (more stupid than I look normally). What I want is a true replica jersey that has all of the design features of the real ones, but fits like a normal shirt.

I couldn't see his face but I thought maybe I was about to be mano a mano with DJ Cooper! I chose the seat across from him but when I sat down it was not DJ Cooper. Instead it was some super creepy dude with a tear drop tattoo under his eye. I was kinda staring at him trying to figure out if this was some former Bobcat that had fallen on tougher times, but I looked a little too intently and he gave my a look back that scared the bejesus out of me. He then called someone on his cellphone and was screaming that he was going to kill somebody and was just generally manic. I had to switch cars at the next stop! What a let down....

Usually when I see someone wearing fan gear that appears to be outdated I error on the side of caution and assume it was a Goodwill/Salvation Army special and not that someone dropped $150 on a Starter jacket back in '94 and love it so much they still wear it.  Ohio-The State University Back to Top Monroe Slavin General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Oxnard, CA Post Count: 9,121 Status: Offline     RE: Back with Russell    Posted: 5/2/2012 1:50:13 AM  Paul Graham wrote: On a side note, last night I was getting on to my normal CTA train here in Chicago when I noticed someone wearing one of those black embroidered  Ohio jackets that you sometimes see athletes wearing.

I don't know.  Seems to me that you let the emotional excitement of the moment, of seeing an OHIO in an unexpected place, overwhelm.  You should have tried conversating with this local Bobcat follower. Maybe you can gather with the dude and his posse at a watering hole for some ESPN Bobcat games this fall. Where's the band?! WHERE"S THE BAND?!

I agree 100%, and brought this up during Bobcat Caravan.  I think a few well placed, polite emails to the marketing arm of the athletic department couldn't hurt.

There is something you don't see with larger schools. I guess I was confused about price. Been awhile since I cared enough to shop for one. n00b Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 19  of 19 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Football' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 149 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 149 Guests 0 Registered Users There are no other users looking at this page.
