Nice pics!

Did you have to be a current student or alum to win?

I would have picked this one, taken at the UW game last year, I think, but I saw the same sign in Madison this year:

My mom won!!!
Mary Louise Harmon Neugent from Des Moines!!

She is coming up to the game with her four college roommates.  They just happened to be having a reunion weekend.

The best part hands down is she is getting a BIG NOGGIN'!!  How freakin' cool is that?

YEs, it appears so.....  But are there really any other options that would make sense?

are you a non-current alum?

Yes.  I am a Milwaukee native exiled to RI many moons ago.  However, I am a lifelong MU fan. 

My parents were season ticket holders for 30+ years and were honored at halftime at a game before they passed away. They saw MU win the national championship at the OMNI in Atlanta in person. My Dad also had the privilege of sitting on the MU bench as a guest coach one game during the Raymond's era.  And neither he nor my Mom were MU alums.  So I am steeped in MU tradition.  I still have the program from the championship game vs. Dean Smith's UNC team.  So, my credentials are in order.

Living in RI surrounded by PC fans, I thought it would be fun to enter the contest especially since I have plenty of family in MKE to visit and the game was against PC.  I have no quarrel with the winners that were selected.  However, I thought it odd that only alums and one student were selected.  Makes it seem that some entries were given special treatment.

Can't wait to see the rematch in Providence!
