I walk into one of my favorite watering holes, The American Legion, Thursday night is $6.00 pitcher night, and a guy that I've met there a few times comes over and pulls up a chair at the table where my wife and I were sitting. I say "Hey Mike, how have you been" and he says "Great, just got back into town today from Chatanooga". He's travels quite a bit for his work.
So he says to me "You are probably the most pasionate Michigan football fan that I know so I want you to have something". I'm thinking he is going to give me a trinket of some sort from his travels.
I said "Thanks, what is it". He says "I have a 1997 Scott Driesbach game worn jersey signed by the entire 1997 National Championship team, framed and authenticated just sitting in a closet at home. Thought you might want it for you UM man cave".
I'm in a little bit of shock, and asked why he was parting with it. He said that after his divorce he downsized his house, and a lot of the signatures have faded, and it was a shame to just let it sit in the closet. I tell him that I can't accept that for free, so he says I can just buy him a couple beers.
So I'm picking it up after work. Looking forward to hanging it in the basement.
GO BLUE!
