When I was born my grandmother decided that I needed a Notre Dame bedroom. Therefore my entire bedroom growing up was done in Notre Dame boarder, and wallpaper. I have a signed picture of Lou, and another of Ron Powlus.
I also have a 7Up bottle, that is full, that is from the 1977 National Championship season. It has the schedule of all the games, with scores including the bowl victory. I found that at a garage sale. Of course, as any Irish fan, Anything Notre Dame I try to get my hands on.
I have one of them bottles

too much to really talk about haha as I'm sure that we all have tons. But my favorite thing I have is a number 1 champion (brand) Notre Dame replica jersey that I was able to have Raghib Ismail sign that reads "Shawn, Grace & Peace. Rocket 25" he was the honorary guest at the Big 33 game a while back.
I have one of them bottles
I too own two of these bottles. Given to me by my late grandfather who among with my father, is the reason I am a Notre Dame fan.
GO IRISH!

I have a Notre Dame room. Carpet is deep blue with gold walls, blue curtains. On the walls I have the stadium, leprechan and gold helmet fat heads. Then I have various pictures on the wall. My display case includes approximaterly 20 autographed footballs, autographed pictures and autographed min-helmets of most ND QB's. The two oldest are Hornung and Hanratty. I also have about 5 signed jerseys and the various books, ticket stubs, bottles, gnomes, etc..

My sons are waiting for me to die so they can get their hands on it. lol

Of it all, my most treasured piece is the book signed by Ara.

I have four cheerleader signs (ND, IRISH, GO....etc) I found them in the JACC in a side gym one day and couldn't resist....

One of my friends walked out of the stadium with about 4 feet of bench that broke during the game. That would be a sweet wall ornament and I am jealous.

That would be sweet, with a little awesome sauce. I'm jealous as well.

Really nice looking, seasoned old section of bench too. three or four numbers on it. The bench broke under jumping students and he was able to dislodge this huge piece that was partially bolted and carry out. I was there mid nineties and I am trying to remember if that was before the expansion or after.

Outside of the hats, hoodies, shirts, etc, my most noted paraphernalia are:

Signed 8x10 "hope you have the luck of the Irish" from Holtz
Signed Lujack ND football
Signed Montana, Lattner, Hornung, Brown, Huarte and Rocket jerseys


I'm sure I am forgetting some other treasures.

My father and I both avid ND fans transformed my parents basement into his mancave. We don't have much meaningful cool signed stuff just a Quinn signed mini helmet, John Carlson signed jersey (Thanks to one of his vendors). However walls are painted green with gold and navy stripes going vertically corner to corner. A replica helmet, Framed PLAC sign. One advantage my father had was he was in the Mold/Casting business so we have some cool custom items he has made through out the years my personal favorite the beer tap handle which spells DLAC ill assume you known what it stands for.

Signed American Apparel bag by Floyd and Jonas...

My sister manages a store in Scottsdale. They came in, she closed store down for them so they could shop, and she grabbed the nearest thing that could be written on and got it autographed and framed. Sister knows best.

th


I got a pair of these, new ones, for fathers day. I've got a hold of a pair of manaquin (sp?) hands to mount them on in a case, hopefully I can manage to get them to hold a ND football.

And I've found a person who will make me a ND totem pole that I've had on my mind for a few years now, I just need to figure out what I want on it and design it.

I've got an Irish themed man cave.
Well, it started that way, but morphed into a ND, Ny Jets, & Blackhawks man cave.

ND stuff: I painted the ND sign and championships sign on the ceiling of the staircase, have a few framed (not signed) #3 jerseys, a full size helmet, a pool table with a shamrock on the felt, the leprechaun fathead, a whole slew of framed 8x10's, and a few self made custom Mcfarlane figures.

Oh my prized possession is a super-chexx bubble hockey table that I hand painted the players. Blackhawks vs Notre Dame hockey!

The next two are close to the heart for me. Father Hesburgh personally signed book.

My father was a sports writer when he was stationed in Florida. A sports artist was a guest on a radio program and did this in 1968. One of a kind. My dad showed it to me for the first time and gave it to me last year.
