Anyone need a decoration for the man cave?

Quote:We are proud to offer a very unique piece of Bearcat Basketball history! These large likenesses came from the 5/3rd Arena / Shoemaker Center where they hung from the ceiling as a Bearcat Basketball Hall of Fame. We have 15 total – 13 of them have a player on each side and two are one-sided. Each piece is 155” tall, 80” wide and 12” wide at the top. These are constructed out of layered foam board and attached with double stick tape and/or hot glue to a welded square tube steel frame. Each square of the frame is 12” square. The name pieces hung below each likeness and they are 83” wide, 12” tall and 4” thick. Buyers may take these apart in our facility if desired.

Well, they're not quite the Union Terminal murals but here's hoping many buyers purchase these for public places such as the Montgomery Inn or sports themed watering holes. These are truly Bearcat history...on a large scale. Fans should have the opportunity to enjoy them for years to come.

I wish they were life-sized instead of giant-sized so they could fit in my man cave.

You mean there are some Bearcat fans out there that don't already have a 13' tall Oscar Robertson in their homes? Buncha casuals, I tell ya.

Who the hell developed that bid lot?! They have all of these things then a random centrifuge

Where were these hanging? Trying to find a picture of them hanging up for scale.

In the concession/restroom concourses.

Yep, they were in the east and west concourses.

Actually, I'm now wondering why they aren't re-used to adorn that windowless basketball practice gym under Sheakley Lawn? Nothing like larger than life images of the all-time greats to inspire our current student athletes in practice each day.

That sounds like it would have been a great idea.

Fiswick is where UC Surplus Management is housed. They are open to the public one Saturday a month. Most of what they have is classroom and office furniture They only post items to GovDeals that have significantly higher value if the right audience is found. You'll see them listing vehicles there on occasions.

These will be great for my future barn! hope they stay cheap for me..

Has anyone heard if there is going to be a sale of other items from the arena? I've been seeing an item here and there for sale.
