For instance, when the UMDC Club hosts these events, it typically includes an auction of coach signed Michigan sports memorabilia to raise funds for the club's scholarship fund.

Bring your armored car and park it in Brandon's spot. Jk I know many tease him about being greedy, but he is doing a fantastic job. It is great to see Michigan coming back. I know for those with blue glasses on didn't know Michigan was down. State and Ohio have been kicking our asses in football and basketball. I am glad Michigan is returning the favor, and I predict karma is back at Ohio.

Sounds like a nice event.

Wait... DAVE BRANDON IS INVOLVED? THIS MUST BE PART OF HIS DASTARDLY PLAN TO MILK EVERY DOLLAR OUT OF THE MICHIGAN FANBASE! OUTRAGE!!!!

Michigan's offensive style requires more players that have greater interactions with the Higgs field.

Fire him so we can go back to mediocrity! He has made way too many poor decisions. The stadium is looking like crap, Crisler is a mess, and we have two terrible coaches. Can you detect sarcasm?

I live in DC and I won't let Greeley talk trash about my town like that.
The rent may be high but the food is good and the morals are deplorable.
Intensity is a lot of guys that run fast.

...about any of that. If it's any consolation, expect the tour to revisit the DMV next summer. That seems to be the pattern.

Regarding entrance
Regarding entrance
Is there an actual ticket that we will get, or is my name on a guest list? The reason that I ask is because I registered on Monday the 4th, it's Saturday night and I haven't gotten anything yet. I would like to know how I am getting in before the day of the event.
Thanks for letting me know. I will most likely attend the Chicago event to see Red.
Edit: Purchased. I have never been to anything like this before, so is there a dress code or anything like that? As for the auction, what kind of price range am I looking at for the items they sell? I want to make sure I bring enough cash.
