the Year before it became the Directors Cup or its current version it was the Presidents Cup and Michigan Won it that year..I cant recall the exact year but if Memory serves me correct Michigan was #1 and UNC was #2..Im sure Someone on here will find it...mid to late 80s? maybe?

Prior to 2003, the sponsor of the NACDA Directors' Cup was retail merchandiser Sears, and the award was known as the Sears Cup. This began in 1993, and UNC won the inaugural year (we were 9th). Stanford has won every year since. Not sure if there was even earlier, but in every release I seem to recall it mentioning North Carolina winning the inaugural trophy and Stanford winning ever since.

Are you just vacationing or do you spend a lot of time down here. I try to mix it up to spend at least 5 to 6 months per year down here. Been doing a bit of traveling all over the state of Jalisco. Beautiful country with lots to offer.

If you're just vacationing, hope you are enjoying your time. If you spend a lot of time down here, then you are aware of what if has to offer. 

Either way, enjoy.
