My UConn Huskies and Texas Longhorns Alma Mater Collection - ricky williams 34 - 08-23-2009
I've decided to expand my collection to include all players from both my alma mater, The University of Connecticut (UConn) & The University of Texas. It's been a fun little side project for me and I thought you all (y'all!) might like to see how it's going. <br />
I am always adding to the collection, but am trying to focus on the college jersey cards rather than the NFL jerseys as much as possible. And to everyone who has traded with me or sent me freebies to help make this happen--THANK YOU! <br />
As my two favorites to date say below... GO HUSKIES! & HOOK'EM HORNS!<br />

<font color=blue><b>Since I went to UConn for my undergrad, it only seems appropriate to put those cards up first! There aren't many options as UConn football was the only sport not at the D-1A classification (or whatever they call it now.) They moved to D-1 in 2002. We'll go alphabetically...<br />
<br />
Almost there! Only one letter left...<br />

This is an oversized 8x10. It was handed out at the National with a print run /25.<br />

And how about the 2nd guy there? I'm so glad I didn't have to spend high dollar for his rookies when he first came out!</font color=blue></b><br />![[Image: img151.jpg]](http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm228/RickyWilliamsCollector/UConn%20PC/img151.jpg)

Very nice! I just moved to within an hour of UConn about 3 months ago. Kinda tough up here being a Mountaineer fan, except during football season, because winning makes everything alright...<br />
<br />
:-D<br />

No worries, we all know UConn isn't known for football...

<font color=orange><b>I got my master's degree from Texas at the time Ricky was there, so that's what started my primary collection. It's been fun adding to the list!<br />
