After a remarkable win for the University of Idaho Vandals on Saturday against the New Mexico State Aggies, the university has decided to auction off several items from this season that have been deamed un-useable.  The auction will be held online via Baconpress.com from Tuesday Oct. 28 through Friday Oct. 31.  People who would like to participate can sign up at www.baconpress.com keyword "AUCTION."  All proceeds will go straight to the Vandal Scholarship Fund.

There are several items up for bid:

1.  Josh Shaw's game mouthguard.  Hasn't been washed all year, and you can still smell the remains of Aggie, who Josh spent all afternoon chewing up.  Now you can see how it feels to be the WAC defensive player of the week!  Starting bid is $100.

2.  11 granuals of rubber infill.  You can stick it in your eye, just like Chase Holbrook, then run out into traffic to experience what Chase felt like on Saturday.  With 11 pieces, you can share with friends and all really get that Aggie game day experience.  Starting bid is #12, or I mean $12.


3.  Idaho Vandal "I" logo patches.  These patches, removed after the Arizona game, can be applied to just about any article of clothing on just about any part of the body.  Starting bid is $70.00.

4.  Gently used "sexy" cheerleaders costumes.  Straight from Dean Pittmans desk drawer, these super hot garments won't keep you warm, but will guarantee you're the hottest thing on the palouse.  Bidding for these items will close at 5 pm on Friday, in time to where to your Halloween costume ball, or just to surprise your husband after a hard days work.   Opening bid $100, but depending on demand, we could cut that in half!

*Note -- The University of Idaho will not be held accountable in the event that you purchase one of these uniforms to surprise your husband in the event that the husband dies of shock, excitement, or severe head trauma when all the blood rushes from his noggin to other parts of his body.  Remember, if you think you may be having a heart attack, call 911 immediately.

5.  One 75,000 pound Gorilla.  This loveable guy has been hanging around the Vandals for far too long, and has taken a particular liking to hanging onto Coach Akey's back.  This item is open to Vandal alumn, and will be conditionally awarded.  The winning bidder must agree to provide a good home for the gorilla, preferrably 300 miles south of Moscow in a warmer, less academic environment.  Opening bid is $1.
