I attended the Green Tie Gala last night which funds 9 needs based scholarships. I highly recommend folks entertain going next year. Ended up being an expensive evening for me but supporting kids in need to become niners and getting a chance to talk to those kids did more for my emotional connection to this university than any win could have. They were grateful and humble and wanted to be there to say thank you. Really reminds you that while sports are fun the true mission of the university is providing an education that changes kids lives.

Great event for the school. The world is such a different place than social media wants to present.

Was right there with you. Won 2 of the silent auction items and spent and drank too much. Had a wonderful time and highly recommend it.

Got the basketball package. Was a few beers/drinks in when I won the Mexico trip. My wife (who is a careful planner) may have had a mild heart attack when I bid and won that one.
