 Wide receiver Andre Reed, a former Pro-Bowl standout for the Buffalo Bills, will be appearing at the May 17 home game against Fayetteville. Reed is currently waiting on the ballot to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall-of-Fame in Canton, Ohio. Reed is a graduate of Dieroff High School in Allentown, where he played quarterback. He also attended and graduated from Kutztown University, where he played one year with Express GM/Head Coach Bernie Nowotarski. While at KU, Reed set nine school receiving records. In 1985, Reed was selected in the fourth round by the Buffalo Bills and had a stellar 16-year career. In his rookie season, Reed has 48 catches for 637 yards and four touchdowns. He would make the Pro Bowl seven times and the Super Bowl four times. In addition, he set the Bills’ all-time records for receptions (941), receiving yards (13,095), receiving touchdowns (86), and 100-yard reception games (36). Reed finished his career with 13,198 yards receiving (sixth all-time) and 951 receptions (fourth all-time). Reed will be available before and after the games for autographs, as well as being on the field at some point during the game (not in game action though). He will also be appearing at the post-game party, located at Cavanaugh’s Downtown Reading Hofbrau. We look forward to having Andre at the May 17 game and we hope that you will come out and meet this future Hall-of-Famer!! Stats courtesy of www.andrereed.net. |

WOW!
Sounds like another KU Connection here.
Being a huge Reed fan his entire career, it will be neat to see him again (was at KU the football game when they retired his number there, plus the KU Marching Band twice played in Buffalo when he was there)
I have to find something to get signed. I have a Reed team issued jersey (they sold team issued jerseys at the stadium in 1992) or replica, of the not quite historical Adidas KU Reed jersey. Or maybe I should go for a mini helmet, or SLU sports figure (I already have a football from the bay) Or any one of cards of his I have.
Of look for a 8x10, that may look good too.

I was thinking it would be similar to the Bill Bergy appearance from last season. (table in the concourse) It will be interesting. My biggest goal is how to keep an 11 x 14 item safe (I plan to keep it flat)

For some reason I really didn't give that any thought (maybe because of the size) I have one of those jerseys. Though not very accurate, it is still a decent jersey. B. |
