Not the right time for me on this, but serious respect and thanks for all bidding. Really cool and really cool by OB mods for putting this together!

Also, we're going to have a ton of items I think some of you will really like, including...

a. A chance to sit in and join an entire Orangebloods podcast with the OB team.
b. I'm trying to set up a package where we send you with McComas to either a Spurs/Rockets playoff game.
c. I think there's a chance we're going to have a Houston Dynamo behind the curtains experience that will include me joining them for the game.

Still working on building out list, but we're going to have some fun, unique items to bid on.

I'll bid $300 on the David Thomas Helmet set.

Also, I'll start the opening bid at $200 for the spot on the OB podcast if it hasn't already happened. Very busy with work and couldn't read the whole thread.

 

[LonghornCPA82]

$2725 should be the bid from Oscar Giles and the DLine on the Franklin lunch.

Have you considered adding a member to the Ob staff for a day? Say October 14th? hmmmm

 

[Rookie97]

In. For. Later.

What are the single-day ban totals? I know the powerspread deal raised a good amount.

we're going to start that off officially today, but Powerspread found a partner that combined for a 16-day suspension and $2500.

amazing.

 

[Ketchum]

In the last 24 hours, we've gone from 12K to more than 20K for the fund.

we still have 20 items to auction and the suspensions to boost that number.

@Ketchum

Have you all thought about making this a free article? I have lots of friends not on OB that might be willing to help with the online auction if they had access to the material. Just a thought.

Also, maybe offer another Franklins outing since there were multiple high offer bids. Perhaps a combo franklins/UT baseball game deal might fetch even higher bids.

The school and the family asked for this to be a private deal to Orangebloods. They didn't want us hyping it on social media or making a huge deal out of it through promotion.

Let me think about it. It's not a bad idea.

I can certainly dig that.

 

[DimiHorn]

I just hopped back on and was going to bid on Franklin BBQ. $3K? Dayum.... Gonna have to find something else I like. LOL

 

[Ketchum]

Three hours left!

I know some of us would like to donate but are priced out of the auction items. You can still donate via the direct link. Great cause and ANY amount would certainly be appreciated, $10 or whatever(I assume)!
