What Michigan stuff did you get for Christmas?
The annual thread.
My girlfriend spoiled me like crazy this year. I felt like a kid again.
The centerpiece being my first Bo Schembechler autograph. Those aren't cheap for anyone who knows about autograph collecting. It's certified too with a PS/DNA number.
My most unique gift is a Bob Ufer scoring horn from MDen. If you've been to MDen and saw it behind the counter and see it's gone now, well she purchased it lol. The MDen folks said it was the first one they've sold. Can't wait to use it on Saturday.
Let's see what you got!!

Sometimes I worry that I am too passionate about Michigan sports. Then I see wolverine devotee and I console myself that I am well within the bell curve. My wife did allow me to successively bid for a signed team photo from the 1997 Michigan national championship team at the local alumni fundraiser. It is already hanging in my basement - and looking sharp.
Awesome gifts WD, and thanks for sharing!

I bet that pic will draw some attention. Awesome.
I probably got the least of everyone on the board, but I'm happy with 2 thin M baseball caps.
1 will make rotation immediately and the other I'll redshirt.
I wear 1 for working(that's just going to have to be retired, holes, sweaty, dirty) and 1 for going out. The 'going out' hat becomes the 'working hat' and 1 new one will be put into service immediately as the 'going out' hat.
Go Blue!

Wolverbear golf shirt... wearing next week when I play in FL
December 26th, 2018 at 12:18 PM ^
That's a great shirt, never seen that before.
December 26th, 2018 at 1:54 PM ^
I got this one too. Love me some Wolverbear.
December 26th, 2018 at 12:18 PM ^
Santa brought me a Michigan Canopy for tailgating. How he fit it in his bag and down my chimney, I'll never know!
Also got a deck of Michigan Football Heroes playing cards, they'll come in handy when playing Euchre while tailgating.
Edit: I failed to mention I also got a wool Stadium Collection wall-hanging/ banner with an insert embroidered on it of a drawing of The Big House and a very nice new U of M stocking cap.
And since my birthday is also this week, I've heard rumors that more Michigan-themed gifts are still on the way...
December 26th, 2018 at 12:24 PM ^
Watch “The Christmas Chronicles” on Netflix, it explains everything.
December 26th, 2018 at 12:20 PM ^
For me, I got a pair of Michigan socks and a M branded duffel bag bag. Also got my mom a Michigan shirt. My dad got the real winner (from my Grandma), a Pretzel Bell shirt from Long Lost Tees.
December 26th, 2018 at 12:25 PM ^
I got a new pair of UM slippers. Apparently my old ratty ones were grossing my wife out, but my feet get cold in the basement.
December 26th, 2018 at 12:29 PM ^
I'm more excited about this than any apparel item. Behold an actual Little Brown Jug
December 26th, 2018 at 1:04 PM ^
Stolen? Or life sized replica?
December 26th, 2018 at 1:06 PM ^
Because of the shitty division alignments, I'm welcoming anybody to play me for it every four years.
December 26th, 2018 at 1:37 PM ^
i kind of want one. where would someone procure an item like this?
EDIT: found it: https://rivalrytrophy.com/collections/wolverines-collection/products/little-brown-jug-actual-size-michigan

Jesus got the LBJ for Christmas!
December 26th, 2018 at 4:11 PM ^
We have one that is our fantasy football league trophy. Sadly I couldn't repeat and keep it another year.
December 26th, 2018 at 12:29 PM ^
Jumpman t-shirt with small block M. Looks great holding it up, but not so great on. Hangs down well past butt cheeks and super tight around the man boobs. Diet commencing soon.

Probably because Nike stuff is notorious for being oversized. They seem to think everyone wants baggy/oversized clothing or is 6'5" and 250+ pounds.
December 26th, 2018 at 1:15 PM ^
You think Nike is oversized? That surprises me, I think they undersize. I'm 6 foot, 215 lbs and most Nike t shirts I need to buy XXL. The XL is too small, I'm a tweener between XL and XXL with Nike unfortunately.
December 26th, 2018 at 1:24 PM ^
We must have different builds, an XXL would be way too baggy on me. Even an XL would be sloppy in most cases.
December 26th, 2018 at 1:34 PM ^
Nike does run small, at least for my frame. I usually have to buy a full size bigger.
I don't own much though. Pretty sure I'm the only Michigan fan that isn't fond of the Nike gear.
December 26th, 2018 at 6:29 PM ^
Nike makes condoms? That's what we're talking about, right?
December 27th, 2018 at 12:34 AM ^
Nike make these too small as well. I always have to go with the magnums.
December 26th, 2018 at 2:39 PM ^
I am 6 feet and around 200 lbs. I wear medium. I like my clothing to actually fit my body LOL.
December 26th, 2018 at 2:59 PM ^
weird flex but ok
December 26th, 2018 at 9:47 PM ^
I agree Nike stuff is undersized. The last shirt I purchased was too small. I was really surprised how small their clothing actually was
December 26th, 2018 at 1:20 PM ^
I've gotten a very different impression of Nike's gear. I typical wear a large shirt in every brand, I'm 6' 225#. I've found Nike fits just right or runs small.
December 26th, 2018 at 3:51 PM ^
Your crazy! Jordan shit is notorious for being UNDERSIZED! I have a XL t shirt that now fits my 15 yr old son perfectly and he’s average size at best. Everything else is adult M
December 26th, 2018 at 7:18 PM ^
Nike runs extremely small. XXL in Under Armour fits me perfectly. 3XL in Nike is snug but wearable. I Have some 4XL items from Jordan.
December 26th, 2018 at 12:30 PM ^
My girlfriend bought me a very large safe - which I will be using to lock away all of my Michigan-football related emotions for the next 9 months
December 26th, 2018 at 1:05 PM ^
Be sure to load it with dynamite and light the fuse!
December 26th, 2018 at 12:41 PM ^
In Boston visiting the in-laws this year. They got me a navy long sleeve XL Michigan shirt, which was a very sweet thing to do.
I wear a small or a medium, maybe. :P
December 26th, 2018 at 12:41 PM ^
I got the new fleece edition of the Harbaugh crew, so SOFT!!!
December 26th, 2018 at 12:42 PM ^
How did I instantly know who started this thread before I clicked on it?
December 26th, 2018 at 12:42 PM ^
i think we can all say with 100% certainty that WD has met his soul mate. I expect a wedding announcement soon. kudos to you, WD, he who finds a wife finds a good thing. happy for you.
December 26th, 2018 at 1:00 PM ^
A Dax Hill flip from 'bama
December 26th, 2018 at 1:04 PM ^
Wife gifted me a Block M made from an old Wild Turkey bourbon barrel. I also gifted myself a Grilla Pellet smoker, which I’m pumped to use once back in CA.
December 26th, 2018 at 1:05 PM ^
new shirts and shorts for my son. Unfortunately, I had Desmond Howard autographed, Rose Bowl Football, but the signature( initials) faded. Super bummed but gave my son my unopened fab five basketball set.
December 26th, 2018 at 1:07 PM ^
Those are SWEET, WD!
December 26th, 2018 at 3:01 PM ^
I didnt get anything Michigan related because I didnt ask for anything specific this year and because Im sure my family is over buying Michigan gifts.
I may ask for this for my birthday in 2 weeks.
December 26th, 2018 at 1:30 PM ^
New M hoodie to replace any one of my well-worn sweatshirts, a new M polo - grey with blue M on breast - different from all my Blue and maize ones. Two new Michigan bottle cozies...and of course bowl game tix (gifted to myself) since we live in Atlanta and couldn’t pass that up...
December 26th, 2018 at 1:40 PM ^
My girlfriend got me tickets to the basketball game next week against Penn State! Can't wait!
December 26th, 2018 at 1:49 PM ^
No M stuff this year, still very blessed. You all got some awesome gifts though!
December 26th, 2018 at 2:05 PM ^
Got the Hover Helmet. Actually pretty sweet little setup.
December 26th, 2018 at 2:24 PM ^
Same here! Also got the Jordan x PSNY Hoodie from last year team bowl gear.
December 26th, 2018 at 2:13 PM ^
Got me some nice things:
Hover Helmet
Blanket
Putter Grip
Tie
Socks
Golf Towel
Apron for Griddling on Game Day
It was a great M Christmas!!
December 26th, 2018 at 2:21 PM ^
Nike sweatpants. Very comfy.
December 26th, 2018 at 2:22 PM ^
Basically an entire outfit to take our baby home from the hospital in:
Knit hats, onesie, M shoes, bottle.
Our baby got better loot than me
December 26th, 2018 at 3:49 PM ^
Nice- congrats!!
December 26th, 2018 at 2:40 PM ^
Was lucky enough to grab a game used helmet from the 2015 season. Thanks to the wife for letting me get it. Love how beat to hell it is.
