Typically in August we get Brian or me or both out to the bigger alumni clubs. Since that ain't happening this year, the Chicago and DC clubs took theirs virtual and opened them up to the general Michigan fan.

Chicago this Wednesday

What: Michigan Football Preview Party and Sigler Awards, presented by the University of Michigan Club of Greater Chicago

When: October 14, 6pm CT (7pm ET)

What again: It's myself and John U. Bacon, on a Zoom call. I have a presentation prepared exclusively for this event on why Michigan joined, left, and rejoined the Big Ten.

Bacon will do as Bacon does, which often includes a sick Bo impression. We'll also be presenting the 2020 Ernest T. Sigler awards to the top Chicago student athletes, Lexi Funk (gymnastics) and Jordan Glasgow (linebacking). Proceeds go to the UMCGC's scholarship fund. Also everyone who comes can get a discount code to buy HTTV from our store, since usually you guys pick up your copies there minus the shipping.

How: Take the link, give the donation, and they'll send you a link when it's time to go.

DC Next Monday

Who: The UMDC club will be infiltrating our MGoPodcast recording this…

When: Monday evening, October 19 at 7pm.

Whence: Brian, Ace, myself and the Washington DC alumni club will be on a Zoom call to record the last MGoPodcast before the 2020 season. We'll finish up the preview, this time very visually, invite a member of the club to join us for the Gimmicky Top Five, and then all the participants will get to be part of an interactive Q&A session. Get your voice on the podcast, and your questions about the season answered as best we can.

Wither: Take the link, give the donation, and they'll send you a link when it's time to go.
