DETROIT (2/4/2024) -- The University of Detroit Mercy remembered one of its greatest and lovable personalities in Titan Reggie as this year's annual Titan Reggie Spirit Of Detroit Mercy Award went to longtime fans and donors Mike Bink and Robert Gorczycki.
Both received the award at halftime of the Titans' men's basketball game against Robert Morris on Saturday as they joined members of Titan Reggie's family.
Bink and Gorczycki are graduates from the University as Bink earned a degree in Engineering and Gorczycki in Management.
They have been dedicated since their time as Titan students, cheering on the team at home and road games, sometimes alongside Titan Reggie. They have been involved in fundraising projects and have participated in numerous events, such as the Titan Golf Outing and Titan Club Board of Directors.
The Titan Reggie Spirit of Detroit Mercy Award was named after the famed alum and one of the greatest and most popular fans, who passed away on Dec. 9, 2015, after a car accident.
The award was established during the 2016-17 basketball season and is presented each year to a person who embodies the late Reggie Hall's "Titan spirit," which includes supporting teams at home and on the road through good times and bad, as Reggie did for many years.
Former U-D baseball coach Bob Miller - Hall's baseball coach at the University - was the first to receive the accolade in 2018.
