You absolutely want them in the fridge or in a cooler on ice. Pull them out about an hour or so before. You want your rub sweat, that pulls the flavor into the meat.
Last year when we did Secret Santa on here I received a Jake Mangum signed ball from his rookie year with Brooklyn, also got a game worn Nick Bell jersey from the wife last year. Those two a couple days apart were great.
Definitely the Gator versus Michigan. We had 3 very arrogant UM fans next to us and rang the Hail out our bells all game. Was also cool to see Relf win the MVP wearing the 36 that day.
I'll continue the trend.
