What Xavier stuff did you get for X-Mas

[MADXSTER]

A fitted hat, sweat shirt and long sleeve shirt.

Nice to add to the collection.

[blueblob06]

My wife got me tickets to the XU game at Duquesne. Can't wait.

[BlueGuy]

Xavier Garden Gnome, "the shirt", Xavier Tales book, Repica game shorts, grilling glove and apron.

[bigdiggins]

Divot Repair tool with magnetic ballmark. Which I had paid for myself yet it somehow ended up wrapped up from my wife. I still haven't quite figured out how that worked.

[Fireball]

A long-sleeve T-shirt for me, which is exactly what I asked for.

[boozehound]

I got a Xavier Ping golf hat and a Nike Zip-up light jacket.

Sweet.

[LadyMuskie]

I got a Xavier Longaberger basket and Xavier trivet for entertaining that's pretty awesome! My best friend (a non-X grad) also found a place in Massachusetts that makes pewter ornaments for universities and does them as a series, so each year there's a different campus spot featured. This year's ornament was Hinkle Hall.

I also got a fleece vest, a pink sweatshirt, an All For One shirt, and an alumni shirt.

The hubby got a polo shirt, a fleece vest, an All For One shirt and an alumni shirt, as well as skin its for his ipad and Xbox controllers and an ipad case with an X on it.

Our daughter got an All for One shirt which is huge on her, but we'll figure something out. She got three other t-shirts, a sweatshirt, ponytail holders like the cheerleaders wear, and some Blue Blob tattoos and stickers.

Merry X-mas :)

Forgive my ignorance, but what in the world is a trivet?

[BBC 08]

I believe it's an old wooden ship.

[paulxu]

I'm still waiting for all the stuff I know you guys sent me to show up.

[tmac03]

Custom-made frosty mugs with X hand-etched into each one.

[MADXSTER]

My sister was asking me to get the trivet just yesterday. Had no idea what the hell it was. It is an ornamental plate doodad thing that you can put hot food on thats coming out of the oven.

[Smooth]

Xavier Football - Undefeated Since 1973 T-shirt.

[xu drew]

Xavier Soccer scarf. Late for attending games, but just in time for the cold weather.

[nkymuskie]

I got a set of pint glasses with Xavier University and the X etched into them. The beer is extra satisfying out of those bad boys.

[Muskied]

Authentic Blue Hoops Shorts....needless to say I'm happier than a puppy with two peters.

[THRILLHOUSE]

Copy of Xavier Tales with an autograph from Coach Mack and Byron:

[X-Fan]

I must have been bad. I didn't get any X gear. :-(

Were most of these items bought at the Xavier bookstore/team shop? I'll be in Cincy this weekend and plan to buy some Christmas gifts for myself.

[Cheesehead]

I got a nice Vesi pullover (looks like Under Armour), an old school "Just Do it" t-shirt and a Nike Polo.

Actually the" football fanatics" web site has lots of XU stuff, some of it is very nice. Bought a long sleeve tshirt and hat for my son and a very nice hooded sweat for my daughter. Got Xu LaSalle tics. as a a gift...not an exciting game, but the way things are going maybe it's one we can win.

[fellahmuskie]

Xavier shorts from my wife. I've been wearing them since I got them and don't plan to stop at least until the game on Saturday.

[KabeX]

Hoodie, office hoop, bottle coozie (already have one but hey, you can't have too many cooz's)

Any idea what the name of the place is in Mass that does the ornaments?

[LadyMuskie]

Any idea what the name of the place is in Mass that does the ornaments?

It's called Adams and Adams. She said they make them for a variety of schools (she and her husband are William & Mary grads). She said she noticed that they've been making the XU ornaments for about 15 years, so I think I might order one from the year I graduated and one from the year my husband graduated. They're about $23.

Yes.

[Muskie1000]

I didn't get it, but my brother-in-law did. He got this cool Fathead of the "X" logo.

http://www.fathead.com/college/xavier-musketeers/xavier-musketeers-logo/

I should have taken it.

[bobbiemcgee]

24 oz X thermo tumblers....wonder what Drudy got?

[Cheesehead]

24 oz X thermo tumblers....wonder what Drudy got?

I have one and it's sweet. I use when I run in my basement. I left it out over night once and it still had ice cubes in it.

[XUOHTX]

I got these:

With more to come next weekend.

I only got one rep for this. You all are terrible.

What do you guys do with all this xavier shit? I have told people to stop giving me xavier stuff after I got a stupid snowman with an X on it and a flower pot with an x on it. I have at least 3 jackets/hoodies, 10 shirts and 2 pairs of shorts. Do you throw the old shit away when you get something new, or are your houses just full of xavier crap?

Having said all that, the ornaments that company does are nice looking. If I put up a tree, I'd get one of those.

[paulxu]

What's wrong with you? Put up a damn tree.

I just pass the stuff along to my girls. They love to use my old Xavier stuff.
Stopped in the book store this past weekend. Some day they will actually stock a nice, heavy jacket I'm sure.
That said, got another hat (with sword logo) and a couple of the cheapo fleeces for the little lady (pink) and me. She loved it. Perfect for South Carolina winters.
BTW, the windbreaker I got last year, and which they still stock, is one of the best X things I've ever owned.

The clothes we wear, and when they get old we either wear them painting, etc., donate them if they're still nice looking or some I turn into rags for cleaning. But, really you can wear the stuff anywhere - working out, running errands, etc. Little LM wears her stuff to school all the time.

We don't have a ton of XU stuff around the house. We have some stuff in my husband's office/poker room - like bar stools we painted with the logo. We don't have a snowman or anything like that. Our Xavier flag is flying outside the house right now, but outside of that, you'd have to look hard

[nuts4xu]

I got a stupid snowman with an X on it

Is it a snowman with pom poms? If so, I think it is a set. I have a Xavier Santa Clause and a Xavier Snow man that come up with the Christmas decorations and go back in the box at the end of the holidays.

I received a Xavier Gnome this Christmas that will go out in the yard somewhere. Good chance the dogs or the deer will pee on him at some point, but I don't care. It will brighten up the mulch.

[ballyhoohoo]

My family got the message a while ago. Let me buy my own gear, I know what I like and they don't.

That being said, I got a pretty nice ukelele for Christmas this year.

My son has had that in his room since about a week after fathead started making it. I have to admit, it looks pretty slick on the wall.

[Masterofreality]

I'm awaiting the day when Xavier enters into a marketing partnership with Victoria's Secret for bras and panties.

I'll be the first in line......shopping for Trophy Wife.

[Kahns Krazy]

.

Actually, we normally do. This year we spent a week out of town in December, and it wasn't our turn to host our rotating christmas cocktail party, so we did very little christmas decorating.

I generally only wear my X stuff (with the exception of ballcaps) to games, so they last a good long time. The stuff I like I have enough of. The pointless stuff that I would have no need for if it didn't have an X on it I can do without.

[Muskie]

But does it have an X on it? Is it Blue with Grey or white strings?

I guess I will have to take your Xavier garden gnome back to the bookstore.....

Bah Humbug....
But to a point I know what you're getting at. It is increasingly becoming an "out" to get something with an X on for Christmas. Only need one Xavier rug for instance.

[ballyhoohoo]

But does it have an X on it? Is it Blue with Grey or white strings?

Surprisingly no, but my parents are not huge sports fans.

We do a name drawing with my siblings (since there are six of us plus spouses is ten). My brother had my name, no X gear from him. That was a bit of a surprise.

Would this be your bother who is out our resident AFO golf "ringer"? I would have pegged him for a last minute X related gift buyer.

Tell your brother he is no longer getting my extra seats, or Muskie's two seats when he or someone from his entourage decide not to show up.

He would be my only brother. Four sisters was rough.

Muskies seats are taken, buddy! :jumpforjoy:

Jeff Robinson gave me a lump of coal when I made my less than triumphant return to the Cintas Center for the Wofford tilt.
