RE: Victor E Bash June 6-10
Has anyone ever participated in the Virtual Wine and Spirits Pull. Are all the bottles that are pulled premium liquor or wine? If not, with my luck, I would get the MD 20/20 Orange Jubilee bottle.

Victor E Bash June 6-10
Their timing for this always sucks. HAF donations and season ticket renewals are due June 1. What’s wrong with having this thing in September or October?

RE: Victor E Bash June 6-10
Some of the auction item trips are to road football games, a tough planning timeline if someone is bidding in September. But, it's also tough to plan a weekend trip in June for September. Maybe July ... or better yet, August, if it doesn't run into Huskies Invest ... would be better for this. I also do not recall the original rationale for holding the Bash this time of year. Anyone? Also, when is the next Huskies Invest? Then isn't there also a general NIU Foundation pitch somewhere? Day of Giving? I'm losing track of which is for what when.
IMO, NIU needs that all-around, all-purpose, continuous major fund-raising campaign we have heard about over and over and over and ...

Yes, there are disjointed beg-a-thons seemingly all year. Don’t forget there is also the unpublicized 1899 Club/ring deal that is going on until May 31. There is only so much available for donating.

RE: Victor E Bash June 6-10
Actually begging for info here----does anyone know if the Women's Basketball team is playing in some sort of tournament at Notre Dame on 11/7? Reason for the question---right now---in the item for travel with the team to Notre Dame---it has the description with us playing Marquette. Marquette is a sold program---but if you're traveling to Notre Dame---wouldn't it be cool to actually play Notre Dame. Of course, the schedule isn't out yet----so if there is anyone in the know---please help.
Travel with NIU Women's Basketball as they take on the Marquette Golden Eagles on 11/7/2022. Includes travel for two (2) on team bus, one-night hotel, 2 game tickets, team dinner, breakfast, film session, and shoot-around.

I kind of like the randomness of the Jeff Monken signed "Beat Navy" NFL football----strange combination. How about a real authentic game used Army football???

From these bid packages we get a preview of scheduled games for the upcoming season before the schedule is unveiled.
So far, we know the following of the WBB schedule for the 22-23 season:
11/7 at ND vs ND or Marquette.
11/9 at home vs Illinois State

RE: Victor E Bash June 6-10
Playing “if I had the money” - I’d get both items 9 & 11. The Kentucky bourbon trail package WITH the NIU/Kentucky sideline passes. Getting the game passes would get you two free airline tickets. If you’re gonna get that bourbon package might as well spend the $500 on game pass instead of airfare

The Kentucky game package seems like a cool/affordable deal.

Whenever I've gotten on the site, all the wine/spirits were bought up already. So I don't know what you even get. With my luck I'd get Malort.

It's odd the Tulsa package has a market value of $1500 yet the Kentucky package has a value of $1000. Sounds backwards.

Malorts! Oooph!
If they were auctioning Malorts, I think the bidding would be not to win the bid.

RE: Victor E Bash June 6-10
Reminder ... June 6-10 !!!
Some really exciting opportunities added to the auction ... appears to be a huge number of trips this year:
MBB @ Northwestern and @ Loyola-Chicago ... WBB @ Notre Dame ... fb trips to Tulsa and Kentucky ... Napa wine country golf trip ... Costa Rica private villa stay ... Nashville 2-course golf trip and downtown hotel ... Kentucky "bourbon trail" and Louisville hotel stay ... golf at the private, top-100 Rich Harvest Farms (NIU home course) ... home football sideline passes ... lots of team gear packs ...
Haven't see a whole lotta publicity about this, so bumped it up here.

RE: Victor E Bash June 6-10
I absolutely MUST bid on Sean Frazier's Private Stock clothing items!! They are all XL. I'll bet his family got these items for him for Christmas or birthday, but they are way too small for him. So, the best thing is for him to get rid of them and have a fan pay big bucks for it. Now, if his underwear were included, I'd bid well over $1,000!
STF missed an opportunity for another fundraising item. How much would YOU bid on a personally conducted campus tour with STF in his golf cart? And, at the end of the tour, a lavish hot dog lunch is included!
