North Carolina UofM License Plate!
While there was rumor that the North Carolina license plate drive was going to stop after the New Year, it looks to be still going strong. (More info here.)
I don't know what the official numbers are, but we have to be closing in on the required 300 applications. If you live in North Carolina and haven't gotten your application in yet, here is the LINK to do-so now.
Go Blue!
I'll have to let my cousin know about this if she doesn't already.
Yes. Definitely spread the word to any NC residents you know who might not find their way here.
Go Blue!
This makes an already great-looking license plate look exponentially better.

Although there is a restriction to state colleges/universities (ie, no UM plate), there is nothing that says you can't have a special CLUB logo (ie, UM club of Columbus or Cleveland or whatever) on an Ohio license plate.
The U of M club in Texas didn't want to pay for the plate design. I wonder if that's changed? I mean, Staee has a license plate here in TX. That's embarrassing
EDIT: Here's the Houston Alumni Club's response to my inquiry:
We have been approached in the past by the vendor about U-M Texas license plates.
U-M Club of Houston
The programs requires an upfront payment of $5000 for implementation and art work. Know anyone who will front the $5000? BTW, the U-M clubs in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin combined don't have $5000 of discretionary funds in their treasuries.
I don't know, maybe all the alumni clubs can put together a pool of donations for the $5000? With the amount of alumni, it doesn't seem like a big number to achieve, but I could be making it seem easier than it actually is.
A $20 donation would take 250 alumni to participate.
Perhaps a simple mass email to TX alumni club member would suffice to gauge interest or just outright ask for donations to the cause?
I'm sure this is putting the Tar Heel fan base into orbit...
Submitted my two applications at the end of last year. I am hoping they meet the 300 number soon. Would have been great to have the plate during the Final Four run.
Moving to Durham, NC on June 1st and will definitely be taking advantage of this. Already signed up for the Michigan Triangle Alumni Club email, looking forward to connecting with more Wolverines down there! Go Blue
Welcome to the Triangle, hope to see you soon if I haven't met you already at the Ale House...
