Pat Dye’s championship memorabilia to be auctioned off for charity

Auburn fans can bid on some of Pat Dye’s personal championship memorabilia in an auction with proceeds going to charity.

This past summer we lost an Auburn legend in head coach Pat Dye who led the Tigers to four SEC titles and a dispute national title in 1983.

Now, Auburn fans can have a little piece of Dye’s memorabilia in their house as Robert Edwards Auctions has some of the coach’s personal stuff online and ready to be bidder for in an online auction with “proceeds going to the Crooked Oaks Legacy Foundation, a land conservation and animal rescue organization named for Dye’s farm and hunting camp near Notasulga,” per AL.com.

Among the items up for bid are Dye’s national championship rings from Alabama (1973) and Auburn (2010), as well an Atlanta Touchdown Club plaque recognizing him as SEC Lineman of the Year in 1960. Also included are Dye’s University of Georgia Circle of Honor ring and watches from the 1960 and 1972 Orange Bowls.

Fans better hurry up and make their bids as the auction only lasts until April 18.

WATCH: Pat Dye Jr. heartbreakingly shares Bo Jackson was last person to talk to his dad

Auburn legendary coach Pat Dye’s last phone call was with his former running back Bo Jackson minutes before he passed away.

This is both heartbreaking and heartwarming to watch.

On the latest episode of The JBoy Show, Pat Dye Jr, the son of legendary Auburn football coach Pat Dye, talks about the moments leading up to his father’s death.

“One of the first people I see is Bo,” Dye Jr. says in tears.

I can’t put the moment in words so just watch and be sure to grab a tissue near you because the tears will come.
