Coach Paul
What are the logistics of your relationship with Nike? Does football equipment manager provides free shoes or at a discounted rate? What about the team polos and sideline jackets, free or discounted? More importantly, how did you go about approaching this from a club sport stand point?

We are in a very good situation with Nike. I believe only BYU has a similar opportunity at the club level. We purchase whatever we need, directly from the same Nike rep who handles all of our varsity teams (including football). We get it at their sponsored team wholesale prices. Michigan has the largest Nike contract in the nation, and next year it gets renegotiated. Our Athletic Director has promised to include the five varsity club teams in the negotiations, which would give us free Nike apparel, shoes, uniforms and equipment (if they start manufacturing). As for how we have build this kind of support, I'm glad to discuss this kind of stuff privately with anyone. Feel free to call.

Sounds pretty great for your guys. A nice recruiting plus, I'm sure.

Coach Paul,
Does Riddell do the the Wolverine stripes on the helmet for you or is a third party responsible?

The Lax:

The Dynamic uniforms are exceptional. I'd recommend them to anyone. We were able to design the uniforms exactly as we wanted, get them ordered and delivered inside of one month. The material is top notch and the graphics are burned into the fabric; thus, no peeling or cracking.

We went through Stickhead Lacrosse in St. Louis for our uniforms. However, anyone who has a Dynamic dealer close can benefit from them.

Regards,

Yes. It should really help with those people who select a college based on the quality of the school's lacrosse uniforms.

The Beatles were the fab 4 (John, Paul, George and Ringo). The designers for queer eye for the straight guy are the fab 5.

As for Jimmy King, he played 63 games in 1995-96 for the Raptors, even started 1. Then played 2 games for the Nuggets the next year, most likely a 10-day contract.

Somewhat of a joke in the Dallas-area for a while was that he was the Mavs man, the mascot that dunks off trampolines during time outs.

That is solid!! A lot of Nuggets history with the Fab 5...Rose, Howard and King.

The real Fab 5:

Eric Montross

George Lynch
