Decorating a new room, the man cave will be sport themed and I'm looking for as many old XU pix as I can find, whether it be football, hoops or just campus stuff.
The older the better.
Anyone know a place??

Not sure what you're looking for exactly, but here's an option:

If you're looking for old stuff, check Xavier's growing digital collection (http://www.xavier.edu/cm/digital-collections/index.cfm). It has scanned version of the Xavier yearbook and newspaper going way back. You can get specific yearbook and newspaper pages in a PDF format, and with a little work, you can pull individual photos. It's also just cool in general to see what student life and perspectives were like in the near and distant past. Hope this helps.

You might call Scripps Howard main offices downtown and ask for the newspaper division and inquire about the photos that were still in the morgue from 40 and 50 years ago., I know the entire morgue was online from 1990 on. Don't know how much they'd charge, though.
I know this sounds ghoulish but you may want to check with the Xavier Alumni Office to see if any of the recently departed alums might have pennants, pictures and the like you could offer to keep in use and honor rather than have them thrown in the trash. Just a thought but it'll take some careful attention to feelings.
And there is this. You may be able to go on line at the Cincinnati Public Library's site and make copies of some of their photos for a nominal sum. Or, if the site is accessible. In fact. Google Cincinnati public library and see if they have a site you could download from.:D

That digital collection is awesome "An X Fan"
I got to the archives for the Xaverian, goes back to very early 1900's. I can't seem to figure out how to print the pages, or is that something I'd have to do in Cincy?

Any man cave should have a UC Wall Of Shame that depicts their 1990-2005 crime wave.

If I ever sell this condo, these two will be centerpieces of my Muskie bar in my next home.

Seen the picture many times, but the Borgman is a classic, that's the first I've seen of that, brings tears to my eyes, thanks "strange"


Fred Garvin, never, i repeat, never will the letters UC adorn any part of my home. I vlurp just by typing the two together.

There's a 1958 NIT program up for sale on Ebay now, along with a load of media guides going all the way back to 1950.
