FOFC Meetup: Detroit Edition

ice4277 · 08-08-2006, 08:21 PM

So Detox and I were thinking, with the Tigers on their miracle run, and football season kicking into gear, now would be a great time for a celebration of Detroit sports with our fellow southeast Michigan/northwest Ohio FOFC'ers. We were thinking something along the lines of heading to a sports bar to catch a Lions or Tigers game around the Royal Oak/Ferndale/Troy area, since it seems like that's where a lot of folks on here are from. Date/Time is up for debate, but a Wednesday or Thursday evening might be best for a Tigers game. Drop a post in here if you are interested, or PM Detox or myself.

I'll bring the college chicks.

M GO BLUE!!! · 08-08-2006, 11:16 PM

I'll be in Detroit next week!

Greyroofoo · 08-08-2006, 11:20 PM

I might be in Michigan in a couple weeks

TLK · 08-09-2006, 12:08 AM

I'm in as long as the time works. I have weekends off, but work nights during the week. Perhaps a Saturday afternoon for college football?

That could definitely work too.

Pumpy Tudors · 08-09-2006, 07:57 AM

I predict that Eastern Michigan will score more points than the Detroit Lions this season. Ship it.

Passacaglia · 08-09-2006, 12:15 PM

I go to Detroit pretty often, course most of those weekends, I'm really busy. But who knows, I might be able to make it!

Bea-Arthurs Hip · 08-09-2006, 12:29 PM

I would be down for this.

You may be on to something here. Of course, Eastern's D will allow more points than the Lions and Eagles score combined.

Router Help · 08-09-2006, 03:35 PM

I'm down. I'll be out of town Aug. 21-28 however.

DeToxRox · 08-09-2006, 07:00 PM

College football sounds good. But yeah weekend works best.

gi · 08-10-2006, 07:57 AM

24 Seconds has okay beer (Front is better) and good TV's. Plus I could walk to the bar.

Wednesday's is out for me because I either have volleyball or tickets to the game. Thursdays are much better. Weekends are workable.

The Front is the absolute greatest bar ever. I try to get there a couple times a month. 24 wouldn't be a bad place to go, its no more than a mile or two for 4 or 5 of us.

If I remember correctly though, the Front doesn't have the greatest TV's to watch the game. Anyone?

No, the TVs there suck. I just meant that, in general, it is a great bar. But not the best place to go for a general FOFC meetup.

bosshogg23 · 08-10-2006, 09:26 PM

Damn gents, I will be in town for my sister's wedding Aug 25-27. Rehearsal crap and actual wedding stuff will prevent me from attending. Maybe next time.

(Spent the first 21 years in Michigan)

Honolulu_Blue · 08-14-2006, 08:44 AM

I'll be up for this.

I can promise no college chicks.

Did I miss where it was decided it would be that weekend? I'll be in town that weekend as well, but my own wedding stuff will prevent me from attending.

No, the weekend is still up in the air, but I think a college football Saturday looks to be the best bet. Any takers for the 2nd, 9th, or 16th?

16th is the high school hockey golf outing, as one of the coaches I gotta' be there. Plus it's a helluva lot of fun. The other two work.

Router Help · 08-14-2006, 12:38 PM

9th is looking like the best for me.

Honolulu_Blue · 08-14-2006, 12:41 PM

Between the 2nd and 9th, 9th is best for me as well.

Balldog · 08-14-2006, 12:49 PM

I am actually moving to Sterling Heights/Uttica in two weeks!

Moving for a job or what? Not too far away at all from us.

If ya got any q's or stuff about the area feel free to ask.

ice4277 · 08-14-2006, 01:00 PM

dola

It sounds like the 2nd or 9th would work best for most folks. Personally, I think the 9th may be better, some of us probably have Labor Day weekend plans.

Yes, I got a job in Sterling Heights. Going to look at a couple apartments tomorrow, one in Utica and the other in Shelby Twp. One of my good friends lives in Sterling Heights, so I am somewhat familiar with the area.

You're probably safer being an OSU fan in Michigan than a Michigan fan in Ohio.

But you'll still get you tires slashed

Yeah, that should work. We just need to narrow a place down. Any suggestions from folks? Off the top of my head, Spectadium, BW3's, 24 Seconds, Bailey's would all be solid choices.

I can do the 9th.

JeeberD · 08-28-2006, 12:59 PM

Y'all need to watch the UTEP-Texas Blech game on CSTV and try to catch me making a drunken fool of myself in the Sun Bowl!

Ok, it sounds like the 9th is the date. Next question, where do you all want to go?

Router Help · 08-29-2006, 03:19 PM

What's good in Ferndale, Berkley, Royal Oak for Football watching?

Mr. B's or Snookers in Royal Oak?
Buffalo Wild Wings in Ferndale?
Berkley?

I am heading out on the Royal Oak pub crawl tonight, so I can see if there are any other decent places in Royal Oak for this. Thus far I've done very little in the way of bar hopping in Royal Oak.

GoldenEagle · 08-29-2006, 03:44 PM

I will be there.

ice4277 · 09-05-2006, 05:58 PM

So, is there still a desire for this to happen this weekend?

Balldog · 09-05-2006, 06:28 PM

Count me out, I'm heading back home to watch the OSU-Texas game with my old man and golf with my brother this weekend.

ice4277 · 09-06-2006, 03:01 PM

With the lack of response on this, it might be a good idea to hold off for a couple weeks.

Honolulu_Blue · 09-06-2006, 03:05 PM

Yeah. This weekend quickly filled up on me without me having much (if any) say about it.
