Upon Gopherjerseys.com God hath placed the wrath of ten plagues. It's hard to know where to even begin, so the beginning seems to make the most sense. A few memorabilia purchases had been in the works for about 3 to 4 months. Some not so small financial problems necessitated that the deals not go through. When one has an addiction to sports memorabilia like I do(like any serious addiction), I turned back to my addiction for comfort and shunned the obvious near future cash flow problems. Quitting your job, getting married, going on a honeymoon, moving across country and buying a new house, and then taking a job as a substitute teacher should be an indication of the financial woes to come.
A lesser (or smarter) man might have saved every last shekel should a mishap or financial need occur, but not I. So I shouted unto the memorabilia gods "I shall not let the jerseys go!", And so began the plagues to our modest website: computer fan breakdown, overheat, and loss of memory, car transmission breakdown (for the third time in 2 years), which prompted a new car purchase, numerous internet viruses, which shut down our site, and computer a half-dozen times over the last 3 months, issues with our website provider, which nearly cost us our website, and speaking of viruses, I've caught 3 from my students over the past few months which put me out of commission.
Despite the challenges, my love of Gopher football and it's memorabilia endured over all, and numerous purchases have been made. I hear perseverance builds character... Here are a few of the new additions and my new pride and joy; early 90s Scott Schaffner jersey, 2013 James Manuel away jersey, Texas Bowl jersey and alternate white helmet, 2014 gold alternate helmet, and 2010 Badgers Gabe Carimi helmet. Go to the appropriate pages to check them out in more detail.
