Smoker2Buffalo Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 OK, I'm attending the night practice on the 22nd and had a few questions on the autographs. From my understanding, the autograph period is before practice this year. Does anyone know what time it will be? Also, I'm doing 5 custom McFarlanes to get autographed (Mike Williams, Sam Adams, Roscoe Parrish, Kevin Everett, Lee Evans). I want to get all five that night, so what should my "plan of attack" be? I figure I start with the player that will be most popular and work my way down. Does this order look like my best bet? Lee Evans Sam Adams Mike Williams Roscoe Parrish Kevin Everett Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30dive Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 The signing period was for 20 minutes before the last night practice, 6:40 start, horn sounded at 6:59 on the SJF stadium clock and the players took off on que. Only sugestion I would have is to move Mike Williams below Roscoe, Mike had a few people but hjis line was pretty short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoker2Buffalo Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Great, thanks for the help. Did they have the fence with the numbers lined up like last year? Do you know what time the gates open? And last question, were any of the players signing after practice at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoker2Buffalo Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Oh, and has Kevin Everett been there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoker2Buffalo Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 They are 6" action figures. Here's the JP Losman and Jim Kelly ones I did. http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showt...42&hl=mcfarlane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike32282 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Lee Evans Sam Adams Mike Williams Roscoe Parrish Kevin Everett All at once? you have no chance. Especially since their numbers are separated from eachother. 83, 95, 68, 11. You will probably be able to get 3 of them though. and Kevin Everett is still not signed, so he's not here yet.

Smoker2Buffalo Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Even if I have someone helping me by standing in another line you don't think I'd be able to get all of them (except the Everett)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRH Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 My understanding on autographs was that the sessions were open to kids 14 and under. Am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoker2Buffalo Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 The ones after the day practices are for 14 and under, but at the night practices, they are open to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the fans are in line for the big name players and then try cutting the lines and bouncing thru to the different lines. If you have people standing in each line with 1 McFarlane each, then you will get all 4. But just a couple tips....the buses start at 5:00pm. The Autograph session is 6:40-7:00pm SHARP. You better get there early to be close to the front of the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoker2Buffalo Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yes sir. I'm getting in Lee Evans as soon as I get there. I'm gonna let a few people get in Sam Adams line, then he'll be like the 5th or 6th person in. Then hopefully after I take his place in the Adams line, he can go to Parrish. Then do the same with Mike Williams. It's like a freaking sting operation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your best chance is to get Evans and Adams yourself, because they are right by eachother. And then have one person in Parrish's line with the McFarlane figure and the other person in Big Mike's line with his figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoker2Buffalo Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Damn those line Nazi's! What's the difference if my friend gets out of line? It's not like it's making it any longer wait on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#89 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Getting the autographs is a Zoo. You stand in line from 5 and I mean get there at 5 and by 5:30 there are 200 people in JP's line. Ask JSP about his first time for the autographs. It is crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
