The Ten BEST Michigan Items you own

No scan or picture but my favorite is my Charles Woodson autographed Big House Fathead that I received from last years Mott fundraiser.



Looking forward to see seeing some really cool stuff.

Denard signed helmet for Xmas from my now fiancé who I asked to marry me after she got that for me lol.

Ticket stubs from the 1998 Rose Bowl.  All else pales in comparison.

My first thought when I read the heading was my Bo coin. Still sitting on the dresser.



Although I do not have it any longer, I used to work for the university and I did a job at the print shop on north campus and they gave me a poster they had printed of Tyrone Wheatley high stepping into the end zone with a couple Sparty players diving for him. What a great moment captured on film. Wish I still had it.

But my girlfriends Michigan bikini. And a Brady hoke signed michigan football

under the Banner at his last game as a coach or my newly signed Hoke Mini Helmet. Currently in the process of moving and the fiancee is a little shocked at the precautions I'm taking to make sure they survive the move.

Our family has the flag waving proudly outside everyday.

1. Ticket stubs & t-shirt from the 1998 Rose Bowl

2. Lloyd Carr autographed game worn helmet

I have a football that was autographed by both Braylon Edwards and Anthony Carter that my brother got me a few years ago when he was working a fundraiser with the two of them. 

My dream is to find a way to get Greg McMurtry, Derrick Alexander, and David Terrell to add their autographs to it.  (I suppose if I bumped into Tyrone Butterfield in the grocery store I might be inclined to have him autograph it too.....in very small print.)

I have a drawing of a Wolverine, signed by Bo and Dan Canham. Also, my Bob Ufer cd's rank pretty high....its good to be BLUE!

I know Tate isn't a all time QB here or anything but I really like the art he signed for me. I have things that are worth more(Braylon Auto, Mike Hart Autos ect) but its just neat imo

Devin also signed my 7 jersey that day. Got Denard to sign a photo too. I may try and get him to sign my Super Sonic 16 art work this fan day.

Michigan football family tree

from the greatest university in the world!

Good Time Charley's menu signed by Charles Woodson the Wednesday before the '97 Ohio State game.  It's one of the old, paperstock ones.  He was doing an interview there and I was having a few drinks before my late English comp class. 

1.  A hat from the Millie Schembechler golf out with Bo's autograph that is personalized to my father.

2.  A Denard jersey signed that is personalized to me.

3.  A Bo autographed 8x10

4.  Every home game ticket from the year I was born.

5.  Every bowl game ticket that UM has played in.

6.  I am hoping to acquire the original photo from the 1969 OSU game with Bo, Crisler and Oosterbaan's autograph on it.  Only missing Kipke and Bump.

7.  Signed 16x20 of captains from Team 132.

8.  Signed 16x20 of Brock Mealer coming under the banner.

1. My ticket stub from 2008 vs. Wisconsin, because it reminds me that good things did happen that season, and also that I stayed.

2. My felt wall hanging here with four Michigan logos on it stretching from 1922 Bear-In-A-Sailor-Hat to 1984's Split Block M.

It's definitely the best room in my house. Been collecting for awhile.

I have a small collection of dollar bills signed by folks such as Anthony Carter, Rick Leach, Dan Dierdorf, Bo and a few others. This was inspired by an old neighbor of mine who would mail ones and fives to fellow alumni and alumnae ( including former athletes) and ask them to sign and return them. I simply strive to get it done in person, if possible.

Two things:

1. On our wedding day, my wife got a banner, similar to the one below, signed by most of Team 132. I don't think there's room for literally everyone, but Denard signed it, as did Devin, MM, RVB, Roh, and many others. She gave it to me in front of everyone during our wedding reception. Definitely one of the best gifts ever!

2. This jersey (bought from Moe's!):

I have no problem saying the jersey is for Braylon, but I'm looking forward to when I'll be able to say it's for a current member of the team.

To go along with many more signed prints of other guys. I am also ashamed to say I have the FOX bot..........

A framed piece of paper signed by Bo. (Mom ran into him at UM hospital in 1987 and got him to sign it.  She said he couldn't have been nicer.  But all she had on her was a red pen.  So Bo wrote, "Go blue, not red.") 

Autographed photo of Don Moorhead. (QB who led the win over #1 Ohio in 1969.  He was my step-nephew's gym teacher at Paw Paw High School before retiring last year.)

Ticket stubs to 2004 Braylonfest and 2005 Penn State.

1997 national championship football.  (Maybe one day I'll find a player from that team to sign it.) 

Picture of me with Lloyd Carr at the conclusion of Spring game 2005.  (Good friend of mine who is on the alumni board personally introduced us to each other.) 

A couple hundred games on DVD and VHS.  I'm going to count them all as one.
