Updating my previous post about the 222-0 football, a Georgia Tech grad in Atlanta purchased it and will either donate or put the ball on permanent loan to the Athletic Association. The GTAA was bidding at one point, but the price eclipsed their budget. With the nature of the "blind bids", the grad didn't know whether or not he was bidding against the Athletic Association, creating a Heathcliff/Claire Huxtable situation on that old jazz record at auction. That episode was a classic.
