re: When your team won a NC did you buy championship gear?

Damn skippy. Got the hat and the t-shirt that was handed out on the court that night in Charlotte. Got all 3 Sports Illustrateds with Hogs on the cover that season - one of them was Bill Clinton with a basketball and a Razorback ball cap - and had them matted and framed together. Still have 'em all. Even have a commemorative Coca-Cola bottle with the Hog stuff on it, with "NCAA Champions" on it
