Ricky doesn't strike me as a guy who places a lot of value on mementos.

On what?  Mentos? Those damned munchies.

If I made a list of bad decisions I made while high, selling my Heisman trophy for a half million wouldn’t make the top half million 

It’s not like he’s selling the fact that he won the trophy. Someone walks up and offers $475,000 for that chunk of bronze in your living room...who’s saying “no?”

He'll always have the memory of winning it by stomping aggy's ass. 

Priceless.

Ricky has done some surprising things. This isn’t one of them.

yeah the ticket had the heritage auction guys in for a regular visit a week or so ago and they brought the heisman.  basically said ricky never really cared about awards or accolades, not a big deal. 

how about the Jamail gang buying it? do they exist? Or maybe MM.

Archie Griffin, and he's even got one to spare. 

I find that kind of sad. It would be nice if it could end up at the University. At least it’s going up for auction though. I can see someone finding Johnny football’s trophy in some random pawn shop in a few years.

I know in The T-Room they have the Earl Campbell Heisman.....not sure if Earl has one as well or not

This is correct. You can see it at Bellmont. 

Yeah, so if there’s one on display at the school and it’s not really that big a deal to the winner, then I can certainly see auctioning it for some significant cash, even if I’m not in duress. As mentioned earlier, Ricky doesn’t seem too concerned with such things.

Edited to add I presume the University wouldn’t entertain the thought of bidding on it since they already have one.

Maybe UT should buy it from him so they own it...

Just give him a cool 2 million and call it a deal.

If I’d have made what he did in his career, I sure as fuck would say no.  

Who's opening up a GoFundMe so we can win it and take to Surly tailgates.

That would be awesome. 2nd choice would be the Texas Sports HoF

That's ridiculous. He'll regret it if he does end up selling it.

Ricky doesn’t strike me as a guy who has a lot of regrets.

He’s free to do what he wants, but IMO it’s dumb to discard one of the greatest achievements of his life, whether he wants Rastafarianly philosophically claim it means nothing to his karma. 

UT fans will support and justify every (law abiding) decision he makes without fail though. I remember when he walked out on the Dolphins and people sounded like scared girls with comments like “other people are literally trying to make him feel hurt and sore! He wants to stop feeling pain and I support him!”

That's ridiculous. He'll regret it if he does end up selling it.
First post says he already sold it and the guy that bought it is putting it up for auction...

If every Surly member sends me $100, I bet I could present the winning bid.

You greedy fuckers. Your mom has already taken $100 from every Surly member.

Hey, she can’t live on social security alone.

Dang...so I could’ve maybe got it for a bargain had I just offered him at that Comin’ on Strong Tour event 5 years ago?

Yeah Ricky didn’t get much. If i’ve Learned anything from Rick Harrison, “look, I’m going to have to pay a lot to get this thing refinished, get it encased, and then the auction house takes 15% plus 10k just to list it. I can give you like 85k and that’s just because I think it’s a cool piece.”

 Yeah, I think most of y’all read that wrong. Ricky had already sold the trophy. It’s the guy who purchased it from him that is now putting it up for auction.  At least that’s the way I read it. 

I’m thinking about putting my 1983 North Austin Optimist Little League Champs trophy up for auction. I don’t need the accolades, I lived it, and that means more than any materialistic memento.

Weed might have taken that from him as well.

What did Reggie Bush do with his trophy?

Reggie Bush got his taken away for free. At least Ricky cashed out. And his name will always be in the actual books.

I haz confuse.  

Is there a real one and a copy,  or are they all copies,  or all considered originals?

I think Surly should buy it and melt it down to make a bunch TreeFiddy medals for us.

I’ll confuse you even further. Except for the first one ever cast, they are all original copies.

Let me put my Cliff Clavin US Postal Service issued hat on and bloviate with near certainty: Whomever produces the trophy intentionally creates two for each year, knowing one will go to the player, one to the school for its trophy case. So they are both authentic Heisman Trophies.
