Coolest/favorite Michigan thing you own?

I would say probably the coolest MIchigan thing I own is a tie between a program from the first game in Michigan against Ohio Wesleyan in 1927 and a piece of the All-Pro Turf that was in The Big House from 1982-1990.

I got the program from Ann Arbor Sports Memorabilia. It is an amazing underground shop in Ann Arbor that has programs, buttons, cards and everything else you can think of that is Michigan. 

What is the coolest or your favorite Michigan thing you own? Pics would be great.

Agreed ...
But I had Roundtree sign two of those receiving gloves from the UTL game and had Denard sign a pair of cleats that are the same model as the ones he wore for UTL.

The Tom Harmon one? A family

The Tom Harmon one? A family member ordered it and had it framed from the Michigan Photo Store.

They got it from the Michigan Photo Store. I'm not sure if they still have it since they got in some kind of special deal with a frame in 2010. But I will say, that is the best place to get pictures of Michigan greats.

Thank you so much for your reply. I have previously tried doing a search through the UM Library/Photo archive service, and failed to locate it. I want to get one for my UM house mate who recently treated me to a seat at the B-ball final in Atlanta. Thanks, again!

Forgot I had more pics

When it comes to singular thing that I love the most, probably my helmet I had signed by Mike Hart and Denard. Two all-time leading rushers at their positions-

Waited all day at a mall to get Denard to sign next to Mike Hart. He thought it was a really cool thing, getting that done. Whoever breaks their records in the future will sign as well.

Odd But Perhaps Cool...

In the fashion of a neighbor who taught me much about Michigan and its history growing up, I have over the years collected - via sending them in the mail or meeting players and coaches at events - dollar bills signed by various Michigan players and coaches.

Among some of the names who have signed bills (I started doing this in the 1990s) are Bo Schembechler, Gary Moeller, Tyrone Wheatley, Anthony Carter, Rick Leach, Jamie Morris and Jarrett Irons, among some others.

I don't really collect memorabilia.  But I think my #EATING and Desmond "Strike-a-Pose" shirts are pretty cool.  Plus I still have the old Tyrone Wheatley #6 Russell Athletic replica jersey that I bought 20 years ago during my freshman year at M--which I think is cool but most other people probably think needs to be replaced.

Things like that are really underrated. Signage from stadiums.

On the 30 for 30 on Steinbrenner, when they tore down Yankee Stadium I, a sign pointing to the Men's pisser was auctioned for $5,000!

I have a Michigan letter sweater and an M blanket, both of which I received in the mid-50's as a member of the basketball team. They're still in excellent condition, mainly because they've resided in my closet for 60+ years.

Don't have

Don't have much memorabilia, so I'm going to say the coolest thing Michigan thing I have is just the memories of the few games I have attended. Hope I'm able to revisit the Big House this fall.

 

Edit: I am also a big fan of my signed Desmond Howard book I Wore 21.

Owner

That plane is owned by Richard Rogel a UM alum who founded PPO of Michigan and then sold it to Blue Cross and Blue Shield in '96.  He's a big UM supporter, as you probably guessed.  He chaired the Michigan Difference fundraising campaign, was President of the Alumni Association and sits on a UM atheltics board along with donating boatloads to UM.

I have heard firsthand that another UM alumni has a private jet with the winged helmet painted on the nose.  Michael Levitt a UM grad (BBA, and JD) who founded Stone Tower Capital (now part of Apollo) hedge fund.  However, I can't seem to find pictures of that.

Recruit Lanyard

My cousin is a 2014 WR/DB from Sylvania Southview HS. My brother and I had the good fortune to go on an unofficial visit with him to the Northwestern game last year (his brother is a DB at NW) I got a chance to see some of the recruits, Shane was there sitting with Leon Mcquay, Brian Mone and Ian Bunting were both there with their mothers. Beforehand we got to walk down the tunnel and be on the field during warm-ups. During the game I got to sit 4 rows up on the 50 yard line, easily the best seats I've ever had. Afterwards I got to meet Gorgeous Al, he was happy to talk football with us. I have the lanyard proudly hanging at home.

A hat

I bought a Michigan hat 12 years ago. I've warn it to the point where it used to be Navy and now it is a whitish gray color. I still wear it all the time and it is the only hate that I wear. I make sure to wear it to every Michigan sporting event that I go to. I plan on retiring it one day, but not without the signature of Charles Woodson on it.

Although it is not sports related I have a 15th century Chinese jar that was given to my relative, Dean Alfred Lloyd (father of Alice Crocker Lloyd) by U of M president James B. Angell after a tour of China circa 1880.

Oh, and a photo of my then 16 yr old son at the Big House, in front of the old scoreboards, one week after he had colon cancer surgery. We beat Utah State that game.

Trying to build a photowall of games I attended...

Can anyone help me locate high quality photos of Braylon from Braylon-fest?

I'm looking for different angles of any of his TDs or jump ball catches. I wish I could find a series of 3 consecutive photos for one of his TDs.

I already checked the Michigan photostore they only have one good action shot...

Im taking a video of him on the landing in the south endzone and then the guy behind me yells that he made the Jumbo Tron screen in the endzones.... about 10 minutes later they put him up on the screen again.... as we were leaving the stadium.. no less than four coeds randomly came up to him and said.. Its the boy from the big screen and gave him high fives...

Was an epic first game ever experience for him.. and most certainly for me.

Softball

Two seasons ago the softball team was in the citrus tourney in Orlando, and I took my kids. My 8 year old  softball playing daughter, was given the homerun ball hit by Amanda Chidester in the first game that we saw. We stayed for the rest of the games that night, and my little girl was able to get numerous autographs from the players on that ball, including Amanda. I have the ball in a glass case on my tv stand. Was mine, and my kids first Michigan sporting event.

I've acquired a lot of spectacular items.....

....only to give them away to family members and friends.

A couple of notable items that I do still have.

  • Classic brand basketball cards of the Fab Five, each with an authenticated autograph.  I specifically sought out Classis as the game shots of the players on the cards are from college. 
  • I graduated in the Spring of 1997 but still lived in Ann Arbor the following season.  I grabbed a couple dozen copies of the first printing of the Michigan Daily after the Rose Bowl victory over Washington State.  I still have a dozen or so left.

One of the original coffe

A c. 1970s coffe mug from Blimpie's. My mom lived upstairs in the house owned by the same Crazy Jim when she was in school, and she and her roommates claim to have most of the original set.

My collection sucks. I have every edition of HTTV. woo. I do have some pieces of Tiger Stadium (a piece of the batter's box, one of the locks for the dugout, and a seat) from shooting a film there a day before they knocked down the last part.

Teammate Ron Kramer

Since memories have been included under this topic, I would like to add to my earlier post in which I described my "M" letter sweater and blanket. In my senior year at Michigan, I was on the basketball team with Ron Kramer who was then a sophomore. His athletic prowess was already remarkable. He joined the basketball team after he had finished his outstanding first football season. He was the high scorer on the team that season (1954-55) and a fierce rebounder. He usually intimidated even the best opposing players. Occasionally after practice, he would go over to the high jump pit (we played in Yost Fieldhouse in those days and shared it with the track team for practice), set the bar at 6'2" or so, and jump over it a few times just for the fun of it. I never heard him brag once about his exceptional skills. I'm convinced he could have played professional basketball in those days if he had not entered the NFL. It was quite an experience for me to have been a teammate of a Michigan legend.

Being that it's Father's Day,

the coolest Michigan thing that I have is the word "Michigan" spelled out in steel metal letters that I spray painted blue. My son is a welder and he took them off a crane that he was demoltioning and gave them to me. They now proudly sit on my front lawn.

A stuffed full sized fuzzy

A stuffed full sized fuzzy blue football with a maize block M that I've had since 1983.  I bring it out for every game.  It's been through several moves, jobs, girlfriends, a wife and kids.  My son bit a hole in the block M when he was teething.  No matter, it's part of the family now.

My signed postcard from Tae

My signed postcard from Tae Odoms for donating to the #EATING kickstarter! Reminds me of why our team (and school) is the best one out there, and where our priorities truly lie as a program... building Michigan Men.

Signed Football

I have a signed football from Rich Rod's last team at U of M. Would be a bit cooler of it were Hoke's first, but it represents an important part of Michigan football history to me (never forget) and the beginning of the upswing. The beginning of a new bowl streak, signatures from Mike Martin, Denard and other memorable players who became Michigan men the "hard way" and my roommates, who were members of that team and gave me the ball as a gift.

Very special football to me. And the epitome of what sports memorabilia should be, in my opinion. Always best if it has a little meaning or backstory.

I own an authentic...

...bench from Michigan stadium that was put in place when Michigan stadium first opened. They were wood back then. They were replaced about 20 years ago, so I was able to buy a portion of Michigan Stadium bleacher.



That, and 2 degrees from Michigan. Those 2 pieces of paper are pretty cool.

Stadiums

The coolest things I have are the two ceramic stadiums, large and small. What really makes them cool is I bought them in an Ohio State store right down the rd from the horseshoe while I was dating an Ohio state student. So that made me smile a bit more.

Signed a picture for me of him crushing Western's QB with the most beautiful form tackle. Before the trolls rise up, yes I do understand that we are talking about WMU, but it's still a sweet picture. I can't link it because I am at work but that would be nice if someone else could!
