Should be interesting to see how this goes considering this is only the second hackathon ever held at Michigan.
Inaugural MHacks!
Nope. Definitely the second MHacks. https://www.facebook.com/events/430667410314875
that was a different event
With the same name, same logo, same sponsoring parent organization, held at the same university? I also distinctly recall a meeting where the executive director from the last hackathon, who is now running this one, informed the members former team that you would be joining on for this semester's MHacks.

Please, do explain how this MHacks is inaugural or different.

oh what basis can they claim that they are the most epic?
This is sensationalist flotsam- how can you call a hackathon that hasn't even happened yet "the biggest" and "most epic"?
Word is there's gonna be Red Bull girls there :D
Yea damn dude that's why my girlfriend won't let me come.
I agree; don't be fooled by the vanity metrics. Properties of a hackathon necessary to evaluate it fairly against others include not only registration counts but: food, quality of hacks, management/organization, venue, events (beside hacking), sponsors, etc.

Those can't be evaluated until it happens, but let's see how it fares.

It's obviously promotion. I'd love to see you in an advertising job. "You may love or may hate our product; we're not in a position to tell you!"
I'm a student at Michigan, can't wait!
I can't wait. This is going to be huge.
