IP Autographs

[jamesisabella]

I have been a member to this site for awhile but I haven't posted any of my IP autograph successes. I decided to post this one up as my first one. I did the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday night when they were in town for the AFC Championship game for the pats. Overall I got a lot of graphs but no big name players.

Chykie Brown 1/1
Nigel Carr 1/1
DJ Bryant 1/1
Adrian Hamilton 1/1
James Ihedigbo 1/1
Anthony Levine 1/1
Bernard Pierce 1/1 (Came in and walked straight to the elevators with a hood on and said how he will always sign for kids but not for adults who harass him nice guy though)
Ed Dickson 1/1 (Nice guy took pictures with people got him also at the check in desk)
Ray Rice 1/1 (Swarmed by kids that were staying there for a hockey tournament, they gave him a black sharpie and he signed every ones with that)
Emanuel Cook 1/1
Michael McAdoo 1/1
Tommy Streeter 1/1

Jim Harbaugh 1/1 (surrounded by a crowd of people was happy and interacting with fans signed for everyone that asked)
Jim Caldwell 1/1
Lardarius Webb 1/1 (had multiple opportunities to get him but he seemed like he wasn't in the signing mood so only asked him once)
Arthur Jones 1/1 (very nice)
Joe Flacco 0/1 ( I asked him multiple times he said he was on a way to a meeting litterally got right in front of him and he still wouldn't do it, he got up to the 2nd floor and took a couple of pictures, I tried to get him again but came up empty, oh well)
Phil Simms 1/1
Jim Nantz 1/1 (funny story we saw him coming into the hotel he told us he was late for a meeting, he couldn't find the meeting room and he told us to follow him around until he found it, eventually he found it went in put his stuff down and came out and signed for my friend and I)
Solomon Wilcots CBS 1/1
Sal Pal ESPN 1/1

I heard a rumor while there and they said that Ray Lewis rented out the whole top floor.

Ray Rice 8x10 would have liked to get it in silver but I will take it better than nothing.

The Pittsburgh Panthers were in town to take on Providence College for basketball. I did the Pitt hotel before game-time and then went to the game and graphed both teams. I missed some players from Pitt because an assistant coach came off the bus and told us that they had to get going, it wasn't a big deal missed 3 players total on the team.

Pittsburgh Panthers

Chris Jones 1/1
Cameron Wright 1/1
Durand Johnson 1/1
Aron Nwankwo 1/1
Steven Adams 2/2
Lamar Patterson 1/1
Talib Zanna 1/1
James Robinson 1/1
Dante Taylor 1/1
Trey Woodall 3/3
Jamie Dixon (Head Coach) 1/1
Dick Groat 1/1 (former MLB player, does the Pitt radio, I did not get him for myself because I didn't have anything but I did get him for my friend on a baseball, he was nice and signed multiples for everyone)


Providence College

Vincent Council 1/1
Ricky Ledo 1/1 (very nice, will always sign likes to do it, also nice autograph)

Nice stuff! It's disappointing how down most Big East teams are this year, though. Big Ten seems to be the conference of the year.

James Southerland 2/2
Baye Moussa Kieta 1/1

An upset happened in Providence this past week when #17 Cincinnatti came into town. This was a great team to graph (did them on arrival, game time and at the game) The team security at the game didn't let them sign and no players came out after the game because there was no family there.

Cincinnati Bearcats

Sean Kilpatrick 2/2 (nice and a great prospect)
Cashmere Wright 0/1 (Didn't sign had a few chances at him)
Jeremiah Davis 1/1
Alex Eppensteiner 1/1
Ge'Lawn Guyn 1/1
Justin Jackson 1/1
Cheikh Mbodj 1/1
David Nyarsuk 1/1
JaQuon Parker 1/1
Titus Rubles 1/1
Shaquille Thomas 1/1
Jermaine Sanders 1/1

Overall did really good, I will have another shot at them at the Big East Tournament hopefully I can get Cashmere to finish up my team ball.

This past week I was on vacation in Florida. I did manage to get some graphing done. There was a Champions Tour Tournament (Senior Golf Tour) I managed to land some good players.

Champions Tour
Dana Quigley 1/1
Brad Faxon 1/1
Rocco Mediate 1/1
Kenny Perry 1/1
Bernhard Langer 1/1
Mark Calcavecchia 1/1

If many of you didn't know I always graph with patsfan1212 so we pretty much get the same people. The past two nights we went to the Central Conn State vs Bryant game and Harvard vs Brown. Both of these teams have potential to make it to the tournament if they both win in their conferences. Both teams have young talent and here is who I got on each team.

Bryant Bulldogs

Alex Francis 1/1
Dyami Starks 1/1

Harvard Crimson

Laurent Rivard 1/1
Siynai Chambers 1/1
Alex Nesbitt 1/1
Steve Moundou-Missi 1/1
Christian Webster 1/1
Patrick Steeves 1/1
Wesley Saunders 1/1
Jonah Travis 1/1
Kenyatta Smith 1/1
Evan Cummins 1/1
Tom Hamel 1/1
Agunwa Okolie 1/1
Michael Hall 1/1

We missed the coach who coached at Michigan before and played at Duke in college. Disappointing person to miss, on the bright side we did get the whole team.
