Most Coveted IU Basketball Memorabilia?

[MikeRoberts]

With Tom Brady’s 600th touchdown ball valued immediately at over $500k, it got me thinking - what is the holy grail of IU basketball memorabilia? 
 

if you had “X” that would be the show stopper piece?

[Hoosierfanyuh]

The chair knight launched would be a good one 

[killerbeezer]

The ball from the ‘87 championship game.

The next five Indiana University Men's Basketball Team NCAA Championship Banners dated 2022 - 2027 or so...imho. Or this with those dates...    (Actually, how can anything be better than the memories of attending Indiana University and graduating the year of the undefeated 1977 Hoosiers!  And then marrying my college sweetheart in that same year.  We together with friends and family continue to cheer on ole IU!)

The plant that Eli Holman threw at Crean

[Hovadipo]

Gotta be the chair. 
 

Maybe something from the ‘76 team like the NCAA title game ball or one of the nets.

The weed the boys were smoking in Alaska in '78...

I'd opt for the cast on Scott May's arm that likely cost us 2 consecutive undefeated seasons or the trash receptacle that became a second home to a Puerto Rican police officer courtesy of Knight.

Martha’s mop

I'd have to go with the ball or net from the Watshot or anything from the last game where we beat Purdue.

The Holy Grail?

• A box score from last week's secret scrimmage
• An authentic game tape of Ivan Renko
• Tom Crean decaf Diet Coke can
• A collegiate class assignment completed by JaMarcus Ellis
• Evidence of Cody Zeller in a wide-spread criminal conspiracy
• Archie Miller game plan with no mandatory offensive sets

And finally, the coup de gras that's been a secret all these years:

• The third Van Arsdale brother, aka "The lost triplet"

[mike vannice]

The third VanArsdale was Tom Bolyard, right?

[Hovadipo]

Yogi’s fake ID. 

[Hovadipo]

Miller Kopp’s backpack. 

[Hovadipo]

That giant piece of Assembly Hall ceiling sheet metal that would’ve likely killed someone during the Iowa game if it didn’t happen before.

The recorder used by the manager -- I think it was Lawrence Frank -- to secretly tape The General's locker room rant in 1991. 

"I'M LEAVING AND YOU F--KING GUYS WILL RUN TILL YOU CAN'T EAT SUPPER! 
"NOW, I'M TIRED OF THIS SH-T! I'M SICK AND F--KING TIRED OF AN 8-10 RECORD!
"I'M F--KING TIRED OF LOSING TO PURDUE! I'M NOT HERE TO F-CK AROUND THIS WEEK!"

I understand how you felt back then coach. Now we all feel that way.

I want another one or 5...just like this:  (Yeah...the plaid sports coat, I mean.) PS...It's not really basketball related...but it is Indiana University - Bloomington to me...my hair...I want my 'radial' or 'fro back...really. I got 'the cut' across from Nick's...think I lost it watching IU basketball in the last two decades...there...IU basketball related.

Ok my mind is now (still) wandering. What if... IF... Since Woody already came out for HH in candy stripes, he comes out in a game in a red plaid sports coat. Like the throw back jerseys, but a throw back coach coat.

Have RMK take it off of him... or better yet, have RMK straighten and brush off his collar, in a sign of approval!
