Fulfill Your Dream. Spend The Day With DOCTOR Gross.

You've been waiting five long years for this opportunity...don't let it slip away.

Thanks to noro for posting the news that the SU Charity Sports Auction is coming on April 2nd:

The online portion of the auction to benefit the Golisano Children's Hospital is now online. On April 2nd at the Carrier Dome, join Jim Abbott and the Syracuse Sport Management Club in raising money for this cause. Visit the auction website...to see some items available for bidding at the Dome on that date, or to purchase tickets for only 10 dollars!

You'll have the opportunity to bid on tons of autographed items and collectibles but there's a couple items up for auction that specifically deserve your attention.

A Reno Bighorns T-shirt autographed by Gerry McNamara, Donte Greene and "Damian" Brown - You're damn right that's from me. And I don't blame them for changing Damone's name, you know, with what's going on.

A day in the booth with PA Announcer Mike Veley - I'm not certain but I think you get to punch him in the arm every time he says "deuce." Especially during football games.

Spend the day with Coach Mac, including breakfast, sitting in on a game broadcast and meeting Coach Marrone after the game. - Why do I get the feeling that spending the day with Coach Mac would be a lot like spending the day with Ernest Borgnine. Just a hunch.

Spend the day with Athletic Director DOCTOR Daryl Gross on gameday. - Now...

I don't care how we do this, but one of us HAS TO win this. HAS TO. If we have to all pool our resources and send a representative on our behalf, so be it. If we have to break into the Nakatomi Towers vaults in order to get the money to out-bid someone else, we will. This is non-negotiable, like a non-negotiable barabond. THAT non-negotiable.

Oh and whoever wins HAS TO pepper Gross with questions all day like "so what really happened on the Ernie Davis statue, huh? Can you tell me? Huh? Please? Pretty please? Sugar on top? C'mon, Daryl. C'mon Daryl. C'mon Daryl. DAAAAAAAAAAAAAARYL. DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARYL."

Non-negotiable.

SRSLY though...good causes, you guys. Get to bidding.

Everyone should donate money that is in the bracket pool

and use that towards our winning bid and thusly the champion of the brackets gets to represent the nunesmagician blogosphere at the spend a day with doctor gross.

But seriously, guys, come out to the auction on the 2nd

It’s for a good cause, it will be a great time, bring the whole family (If you have one).

and the items online are only a small portion of what will be available that day as well.

Ooo! Ooo! Ooo!

A gameday with Gross?

If you are annoyed by someone on a cellphone at a game, try sitting next to someone on two or three or four…

Is the Gross thing not available online?

If it is, I’m an idiot.

Unfortunately, as a blogger . . .

I am allergic to the sun. Prolonged exposure to real life is bad for my immune system.

And I bet your mom's couch in the basement might be old,

but damn it’s comfy.

Another Recommendation

GO TO IT! If you don’t live in the area, start walking…or just bid on the stuff online.

Can you eat your ice cream for a year WHILE sitting next to Veley?

by TenFingGames on Mar 25, 2009 3:59 PM EDT reply actions

I will gladly throw in some $ for a good cause and to get someone on this blog the date with DOCTOR Gross.

by wildcatlh on Mar 25, 2009 4:56 PM EDT reply actions

it's too late

considering that the lax team just won a NC and should be in contention again, the basketball team is in the sweet 16, and the football team pulled an “Opposite George” when hiring a new coach… what is there to really to complain about?

If auction was held last year, the Carmelo center could be built solely on the bidding of angry fball fans who wanted the opportunity to berate Gross for 8 hours… but now? not so much….
