I got there around 4:30 and I was about 20-30th in line. Between then and 5 no one will really showed up, but after that the line just blew up. I just left and the line snaked down the length of the baseball stadium and halfway down the length of Yost. Insane line.

I saw that too. I found it on a table by the jersey racks and I was thinking, "This one is in good condition. What name is on the back?" I saw Boren and dropped it. I wonder if anyone bought it.

Selection was pretty impressive at the beginning, although people were tearing it up. Scored a game worn James Rogers jersey and a baseball jersey.

Really reasonable. Football jerseys were the most expensive at $50, with everything else around $20.

I had planned on going, but decided against it after reading how long the line was. I've never understood is why so many people are willing to to wait multiple hours in line just to buy things at a small discount.

Small discount? Most stuff

Small discount? Most stuff was 75% off. Some stuff can't be found anywhere else. The one cool thing I saw was a pair of those Maize and Blue shoes that they came out with real briefly, selling for 25 bucks. However, the only pair I saw was a size 18. I'm not fitting into that.

If you really think about it though, you woke up at 4AM to wait in line for 3 hours for the opportunity to buy secondhand clothing. Whatever floats your boat, but I just don't understand it.

I think the bigger allure is
I think the bigger allure is
I think the bigger allure is the game-worn merchandise. That's not easy to find elsewhere. If you can manage to find an actual jersey (not an "authentic" one at M-Den, but one a player wore), you're going to pay a lot more than $50 for it.
If you don't want to wait in line forever, don't come when it opens. I got there at 10:30. There were still probably 100 jerseys for sale, and a lot of other stuff. There was no line to get in. I waited 25 minutes in line at the checkout for credit cards (though if I'd brought cash or a check, it would have been five minutes, tops). No big deal.

For some it is an opportunity
For some it is an opportunity
For some it is an opportunity to own another piece of the Michigan experience, and for others it is a chance to get a great deal. Different people have different priorities.
I bought a pair of Michigan hockey pants there about 6 years ago and they are by far the best ones that I have ever owned. I got them for about 1/3 of what I would have paid retail, they have survived many seasons on the ice, and they have the added benefit of having the Block M on them. What could be better?

was the 10 year old kid walking around in a Nick Sheridan jersey. It fit him perfectly. No wonder 2008 happened.

I wouldn't be too hard
I wouldn't be too hard
I wouldn't be too hard on Nick. Did you try any of those jerseys on? They are made to fit very snuggly in the arms and mid-section. (Oblivously to discourage the others guys pulling you down by your jersey.) They are nothing like the store bought "authentic" football jerseys. There is no way that the real deal can be comfortably worn unless you are in really good shape, naturally thin or a kid.
They are really long too. I saw a woman wearing one and it looked like a dress. Actually, she looked really damn good.

Really wanted to go but was not able to make the garage sale. Any idea how often the AD has the sale?

I think this was the first
I think this was the first
I think this was the first football one in a few years. There were a ton of Nike-made jerseys for sale, which must date back to at least 2007, so I'm guessing that was the last year they had one. Hockey/basketball sometimes have them in the spring.
August 15th, 2011 at 8:26 AM |
The AD sale runs every 4-5

question
question
i got a practice jersey (no name, number 7) that is what i think of as old school maize - that deeper goldenrod. it has elastic at the bottom of the jersey and the sleeves. the brand is something random, not nike or adidas - i think it starts with a t and it's two words. anyone know when we used practice jerseys not produced by nike/adidas? i checked on ebay and didn't see anything similar.
