Autograph Memorabilia
Stampede Inaugural Magazine Austin Wranglers
Acquired: Gift 2004

My cousin got me a game program full of autographs back in 2004, that I found recently when digging through some boxes.

Bobby Pesavento was a true rookie in 2004 for the expansion Wranglers,  and after the departure of John Kaleo Bobby won the starting job in a competition against John Fitzgerald in 2005. Four games into the season however, he’d be deposed by Fitzgerald and not regain the starting assignment as the team spiraled to a 6-10 record. Pesavento also spent time in AFL2 with the Colorado Crush where he saw action in 4 contests.

Pesavento is perhaps best known as the quarterback behind the Colorado Buffalos improbable Big 12 Championship run in 2001.
