The 5yr old Oklahoma kid who got in trouble for M shirt will be invited to a game this season

Brandon will invite the kid who was scorned for his UM shirt in school to a game this season.

He also got the MDen to make an inside-out Michigan shirt for the kid.

Good stuff.

Here's a great video of Brandon talking about it...must watch:

Awesome!!! I love that he is doing this.

Turning the shirt inside out and having Michigan on the inside was great

" U-M will pay a fee to practice at Ford Field in Detroit tonight"

OMG, where did I hear that before?

Seriously, that is awesome about AD Brandon bringing that kid (and I assume his family) to a game. The T-shirt idea is good too but I sense some backlash from authority figures IF this ever happen again. I recall in Middle School when Spuds McKenzie

became real big and kids were wearing those shirts around school the Principal made a rule against wearing any shirt, etc. with beer, liquor, tobacco, etc. on it. When kids came to school wearing a shirt like that they had to wear masking tape over the brand...

Yea, she was an old bitch...

I love DB's last line.... "To hell with those people"

CLASSIC!

I listen to the Mojo in the morning radio program on 95.5 and this morning, Mojo, Spike and Shannon talked on the phone with Dave Brandon about this incident with Cooper in Oklahoma and their plans for parading him out at the UMass game.

This may have already been mentioned in the videos. But just in case anyone wants to listen, here's the podcast...

Here's a local Oklahoma news station on the story...the video includes Dave Brandon on speaker phone as he called the family to invite them to the game:

"Our #1 fan in Oklahoma."

Man, for all the branding crap we might disagree with, there's no doubt DB is a solid AD and a Michigan Man through and through.

I love having one of Bo's kids running the department.
