Captain Kangaroo

I found an interesting set of photos on the OU Athletic's site. See if you can identify which photo is O'Shea pre-Bubba, and post Bubba.

For you history buffs, here is a little info on the poster sale (scroll about 20% of the way down), and if you click on the "lot" link you can find speculation on the origin (pasted below).From a regional, northeastern countryside activity to a widely followed and highly esteemed national pastime—and slowly becoming a worldwide phenomenon—professional football now needs very little advertisement for fans of any intensity or persuasion to know that, come Fall, the only question that has to be answered is, "are you ready for some football?!" The offered exemplar hails from an era that predates even the leather helmets of the early 20th Century, and in fact, is one of the earliest football broadsides known to exist. Presented here is a truly majestic and impeccably well-kept, 19th Century survivor. This over one hundred-year-old relic bills a contest between two early American football teams from the NFL's birth state of Ohio—a meeting between a squad from Youngstown and the other from Akron. The piece reads, "FOOTBALL / YOUNGSTOWN vs. AKRON / ** YOUNGSTOWN HAS NEVER BEEN DEFEATED ** / Buchtel College Grounds / GAME CALLED AT 3:30 / Saturday Oct.9." The bold red and blue print have remained impressively crisp and vibrant, and the large, full body image (21"-tall) of the gridiron athlete at the left of the piece also reveals exceptional clarity. The item's lower left exhibits the manufacturer's "Werner Akron, Ohio" notation, and although the relic's 25" x 39" visible area demonstrates slight wear at the unobtrusive and understandably age-induced folds, the piece displays unbelievable condition; EX overall. Set within a 47-3/8" x 32-1/4" wood frame.

Ease up or I'll have Mr. Green Jeans get midevil on your ass!

"The Official Web Site of Caleb Troop?" Damn...I've apparently been wasting my time on a bunch of unofficial Caleb Troop sites for the past several years.

It is from the turn of the century. The original poster sold for $3,000 at an auction a couple years ago (true story).

Any truth to the rumor that Z-P posed for the picture?

I got my Travis Nike "throwback uni" at Porky's today!

God Bless LeBron.

I do my best. I wish I had more to offer.

Bryan Williams will be 1st team All MAC Defense at year's end. I understand not placing him on the pre-season team since he hasn't played the position yet. But trust me, he will make a huge impact.Kevin Grant will shine due to Bain and Sewell's havoc-wreaking, plus the fact that Grant's pretty good, so he has a great shot at All MAC too.I'm banking on Bowser being a strong candidate for Newcomer of the Year. Alex Allen being 3rd team All MAC.If either Andre Jones (@WR), Andrew Johnson or CJ11 are on any post season All MAC lists, we'll win the MAC East. Will they? Tough to tell in June.

I agree it should be closed. And it is. If the involved members want to carry on via PM's, they're welcome to do so.

If this in any way shape or form involves a walk on basketball player, I quit.

Did I miss a press conference recently?

I know for certain it wasn't Kansas State.I was told he left this past semester to be closer to family. And, after experiencing a semester of practice, he didn't see getting too much PT at the D1 level.

He ate the Zips up this winter, now he's transferring to a lower division.

The link didn't work for me. Here's a link to the Seattle paper.
