Did you get your socks?

Let's do it, Steve! I coach high school football in Texas, so I can be the coach.

We will have to figure out eligibility issues and such.

 

I already have mine, although they are white.

 

They already have a University of Phoenix football stadium.

 

UoP Socks Update

If you were not fortunate enough to get a complementary pair of University of Phoenix red socks, you can now order a pair here, but only if you have small or medium sized feet. The large/extra-large socks have sold out again, and UoP does not expect to get more until late April.

No, this is not an April Fool's post. The red UoP socks really are available for those with small/medium feet.

 

I don't know what size I got. I didn't pay that much attention. My wife ended up getting her socks about 2 weeks later. I don't know what size her socks were either...

I received my pair in the mail a few weeks ago. Anyone want them?

 

Nikki Sandoval, UoP's Executive Director of Alumni Relations, handles frequently-asked questions in her "Ask Nikki" column for Phoenix Focus, an alumni magazine. It appears that the socks are now a primary topic of concern among UoP's 700,000+ alumni, based on the February 2013 and March 2013 monthly issues.

 

I received a pair (Large at that) and I've worn them a few times. Very comfy.

 

No socks but Liberty gave out red 40th year anniversary blankets a couple years back and sent me an alumni keychain for updating my contact information.

 

Several schools have sent me stuff over the years. I have an umbrella from one school, a sleeve of golf balls from another, a wind-breaker, several tumblers, a dayplanner... One (Christian) school sent me a devotional book. I sold it on Amazon.com the same day I received it.

 

High-Performance University of Phoenix Socks are Available Again

The red socks -- all sizes -- are back in stock. In fact, they are now the featured item on the front page of the UoP Student Store.

According to UoP, these are true "performance socks", with all of the following advertised features:

- moisture-wicking fibers
- Stretch-to-Fit™ sizing system
- Easy-Fit™ cuff
- Superior softness helps eliminate blisters
- Mesh upper for supreme air flow
- Double-stitched heel and toe for strength and durability
- Packaged in a custom designed gift box

Clearly UoP wants you to ask yourself the following question: do your university's socks perform up to UoP standards ?

 

Lucky socks! This is too funny.

 

I wonder if these "lucky" socks come with a bottle of this essential item:

 

This is embarrassing...even for UoP

 

No, but the UoP Student Store does offer bottles of official "lucky red" University of Phoenix hand sanitizer.

Possibly this is useful for business meetings where you might have to shake hands with individuals who are not members of the UoP alumni community (you can readily identify these losers by their ugly low-performance socks). Comes with a handy clip so it is readily accessible at all times.
