the one item that I would get and did get for $428 would be... ..........A Ticket to the Sugar Bowl!!!! that is BY FAR the best NC item!!!!
Since I couldn't go to the game and my only consolation was to receive my little brother's cell calls from the 'Dome, I'll say - the copy of the TROPHY. Mine is already on order...
Y'know, I looked at the crystal dupe of the football of the trophy and ALMOST got it, but I gotta say - #1 it's really got no "pizazz" compared to the trophy copy and #2 it looks a little flat or deformed...maybe it's just the pictures... I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY COPY OF THE TROPHY !!!

Yeah I'd have to agree, I can't wait to receive my 12 1/2" replica of the crystal trophy. I also bought a cool wooden football from "Tyger Gifts". It is engraved with the whole national championship stuff and is a limited additon. I also purchased one for the 2003 SEC championship.
