Sources close to the program tell me they just put a Cherrishinski machine in the sub-basement of the Butts-Mehre building in time for Halloween.Genius.
It is a special section of the museum few people know about, down there next to the toilet. It is open only one day a year and you have to get a special pass to visit.
I happen to be one of the few lucky fans to have visited the area. There are some intersting items on display. They include:
The Harrick test
Two 2002 SEC Championship rings bought off of eBay
A Michael Adams jumpy jump (down in the family friendly area)
A 2006 Sugar Bowl program
A Tony Cole jersey
The lone surviving hedge from the 2000 Tennessee game
A jar of pickle juice
The black stripe
Al Ford's whistle
A thumb cast
Coach Ramsey's ballcap, displayed backwards of course
A Jircuzzi
A pair of black football pants
Bill Goldberg's motivational speech
The fake smoke machine
A 1996 recording of "The Macarena".
Glenn Mason's contract
Hines Ward's wishbone playbook (yes, it's written in crayon)
An "Air Georgia" T-Shirt
A "Join The Goff Team" bumper sticker
J** K***'s canceled check
Herschel's black Trans-Am
Prince Charles' stogie
Ray Goff's shoestring
Coach Dooley's effigy
A few doilies from Effie's
A March 1963 issue of the Saturday Evening Post
...and an "I'm Georgia" towel.

More on the Curse of the Cherrishinski
The Cherrishinski Curse, which was discussed earlier this morning, brought a great comment from an anonymous poster to the blog. The note is below.

Incredible list. So glad "I'm Georgia" made it on there. All it is missing is a railroad track reference.
Don't forget Mudcat's car.
How about an Oklahoma 2002 Rose Bowl Champion Nate Hybl jersey?
The only reference I don't get is the jar of pickle juice. What's that about?
Pretty sure the pickle juice is a reference to a Donnan attempt to alleviate cramps by having the team drink pickle juice. Some pro team tried it, too. There's prolly more, but that's all I know.
Pickle juice is not to be confused with "Pickle Boy", the QB who would have "probably definitely" beaten us if he hadn't been hurt.
Glad y'all like the list. Some painful memories in there for sure. I was comparing the Cherrishinski to other UGA ideas that... well you might say... didn't work out as well as we had hoped. It kind of took off from there.
After sitting in section 102 next to the volunteer band and getting 51 points worth of "Rocky Top", I guess I was looking for more punishment.
Feel free to add your own.

Also, the pickle juice reference was from the 2000 season. Georgia decided to use it to prevent cramps before taking on South Carolina, who was coming off a winless season. Unfortunately, we learned quickly that it did not prevent brain cramps. Georgia went on to lose 21-10.
Also, I like the Nate Hybl jersey idea.
Paul, you forgot about Tony Cole's color TV!
Good job. The list was great! We need a place like this lest we forget...and repeat the past...or incomplete the pass...or...something...I forget.
Oh, also the white pants Georgia wore during the 2000 Tech game. White pants! After Labor Day!
How about Tubby Smith’s letter of recommendation for the hiring of Ron Jirsa?
How about a VALID driver's license?
Don't forget to add Jim Donnan's double-secret retention check from Michael Adams.
Could any list of UGA horrors be complete without a "Elect Jan Kemp Next Teacher In Space" bumper sticker? I actually saw one of those at an Atlanta Bulldog Club gig in 86.
Also, I think Ben Leard's chinstrap and wristbands should be in there.
Once you start thinking about this, the list could be pretty long. I'd also add Bill Lewis's defensive playbook from the 1982 and 1983 Sugar Bowls (nice deep coverage there, Bill. Rot in hell). I guess that means you could toss in Steve Kelly's jockstrap from the last UGA defensive play of the 82 Sugar Bowl. I never smell burnt toast without thinking about that STELLAR blitz call. But, I'm not bitter.
Rot in hell, John Brown and Dan Marino, too.
How about Quincy Carter's Crack Pipe?
What? No references to the 40 Watt Club? Or Effies??? :-)
I might add:
ESPN Gameday Crew
The Swampfox
Ray Goff's Sweatsuit
Odell Collins jersey
Jessie Miller's Diploma (from 2nd grade)
...okay, maybe the last one was mean
oops forget two more:
Odell Thurman's keys to the Escalade
Jasper Sanks hotel room
okay, last two:
Swain's driver's liscense
Alltel Stadium seating chart
