When you live near Detroit most of your life, you always hear about the bad rap from out side of the area. The city has tried to overcome the stigma of the fires, but many people coming to Detroit still think of dangerous the city is, and many remember the fires. The city still keeps track of the number of fire calls on Devil

I only have the Fabian left in the Swift. I had a friend bugging me all last weekend for the 2006 Frozen Four Kaip to go with his 2007 Frozen Four Kaip that I sold him. http://sports.webshots.com/album/557253076...ts&start=48

I know of 5 of his game worns that have been released. Which do you have?

Now I'm glad I didn't make to trip to Boston this weekend!

Believe me, it's not on! Fox Det is showing the Okla/Mizzu football game. Football is king in this area till the first of the new year.

BC, BU, PC, LSSU, and UMD are some of the schools that have been wearing Reebok since Reebok bought CCM a couple of years ago. Some schools should be in third season with Reebok now. Michigan will be wear Adidas in all sports next year after the multi-million dollar/year deal was signed this past summer. Ending the Nike era in Michigan. C-Ya Nike!!

Being in Michigan and the letters are sent out of Indy, could be one reason that I could have gotten mine earlier than most. A friend in Vegas has not gotten his yet, and I believe he is a 11 of 11 in the priority standing. This is my first year to apply for more than one, and my friend said he would take the one's I don't use off may hands. I had a standing of 5 (97, 03, 05, 06, and 07) going into this year.

Just got my letter comfirming I was selected for 4 all-session tickets. Now to wait till March to get the tickets and see how good/bad the seats are going to be.

It's always nice to come home to a package from The Ralph

Anybody that knows college hockey would know that UND is worth a whole lot more then a Wildcat jersey. Looking at this person's ebay id, can show you how bright they are/not. (fiveminutemajor74) Must be a Nathan Oystrick fan. I could have flipped this jersey for $200 easy to a few people I know that collect goalie jerseys. I've had no problem moving NMU's for over $200 to collectors in the past. Could be that the jersey has been stolen, and a student is looking for beer money. Happy to see Kowalski done, as I hated his mother bringing in a plastic jug with pennies in it only a few seats away and shaking the blasted thing at the Joe in Detroit.

I have a buddy in Boston who has BU season tickets, and I know they are hosting UNH on Friday October 19. But UND at BC sounds like a better game to go to. Saturday the 20th Harvard host Princeton in football, with UND playing Northeastern that night. Sounds like a good road trip weekend for the fall color tour.

Thanks to all those who took the time to check on which games they were worn in. I could only find the same seven games as well. It would have been nice to have a running record like Michigan does in their weekly release, as to what the team has done in each color. I have two swift jerseys in my collection now, but to have a black Sioux with the FF, would be the best one of the three by far. I have a Michigan State #13 Turek that was worn in 2 of the 4 games they played in the swifts, and #10 Turnbull for Michigan who scored their only goal in the swifts lost to Michigan State. The dark color swifts look better, than the lighter ones. And, I'd like to have one for next's year's Frozen Four pregame party in Denver. I'm not sure if the Sioux ever wore black in the Frozen Four before? All the other Frozen Four patched jerseys are green or white. Side note: Michigan State players loved their jerseys, but the coach told them once they lose in them that's it, and never wore them again. Good luck to all that will bid

For the game worn collector, an autograph on the outside is not a good thing. It even lowers the value of a rare jersey, like one I saw worn by a Hobey Baker winner for his last two seasons by about a third. Sometimes there is no choice as the team is thinking it adds to the value, and had the player sign the jeresy, but they find out that the collectors don't bid up the jersey becuase of the autograph. They have to hope for the die hard fan to push up the price. I've seen a lot of jerseys lose half their value or more with players signing the outside of them. The feeling is "did the jersey look like that while the player was wearing it on the ice?" NO! If you want a jersey signed, most suggest buying a replica and have the player sign that one for you. Myself, I try to get someone take a picture of me with the player, with either the player or myself wearing the jersey. Most players are clueless on where the jerseys go, and are happy to think that someone cares to know who they are. Someday, I hope to meet Rylan and get a photo with him and his jersey. It's one way to it personal, without affecting the jersey. Have the player sign something other than a game worn. Store bought jerseys a lot cheaper and can become personal with players signing them, without loseing the value of the jersey. I'm sure not every one agrees with the above, but if for some reason you need the sell the jersey, don't expect a collector to pay you more for something someone wrote on a jersey.

All in all, in what games did the team wear the black swift jersey?

I was there at 11:30a to 3:00 and never saw the tags. Spent most of the time in a line or near the steps up stairs.

Kaip! He had one in the BC game last year. I'd like to see him score another one or two, while I'm wearing his jersey from last year's Frozen Four game. Now that would be nice. Zach Jones would be my second choice.
