Anyone flying get any further info?

I'm so looking forward to this.

Anyone thinking about spring for an extra night, and watching the SB there?

No itinerary info yet

I might be inclined to stay an extra night for the super bowl depending on who's playing!

I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone. This Budweiser talk is nonsense. For you out of towners, there are lots of Michigan craft beer options.
[/quote]

You had me at craft beer. I'm spoiled as my sister and brother-in-law own their own brewery, so I've been drinking really, really good beer for quite some time.

No dice on me staying an extra night, for a couple reasons. I start my new job on Feb 8th and they're putting me up in a hotel for the first two weeks to train at a different location than I'll be in. That and Feb 7th happens to be my day of birth, so I want to spend a bit of time with wife and kids before leaving them for a week.

I'm looking forward to meeting y'all soon. Cool to see the people who have been chosen to go, I think I recognize almost every name on the list. Know a few of them personally as well, so it'll be good to see those mugs again.

I am away with my wife and 2 kids for winter vacation right now in the Caribbean so I am just catching up at nights and when i can till next Monday.

We will be banging out some serious planning next week. Out of towners will be working with Rob (hipcheck) to arrange length of stay and specific flights. There is some talk about you shipping your gamers to us here in Detroit so you dont have to bother handling them.

I am getting more and more excited about this every week that goes by.

Hop Haus in Verona, WI. They opened earlier this year, but he's been brewing his own for a while. Like every small brewery, they're struggling to keep up with demand in their own place, let alone being guest taps anywhere else around the area.

That's awesome that they are so popular to be struggling with demand. Hopefully they can catch up soon. They must make good beer.

I'm gonna go ahead and say they do, but I'm a little biased too! I've been a beer fan (vs a drinking fan) for a while and to be honest, he does make some good beer. I hope they can keep up because if they can, he'll be able to do it 100% full time which is what I know he wants.

Yeah, my Spartans decided to only show up for half the game. Not good, at all. But happy new year gents, I hope everyone had a fun and safe night. I am trying to hydrate back up today and then I think I will head to the range tomorrow!

I didn't get much of a chance to see him play throughout the year, but holy balls was he impressive against Iowa. I was stunned. Dude is a threat whenever he touches the ball, which is frequently.

Julian Edelman type player. Pure athlete that makes plays wherever they put him. I don't think he'd make it as a pure RB in the NFL but a hybrid wing back/WR maybe

Just got Zak's email and it gets the golf juices flowing. Will be at the indoor range tomorrow to try and keep the swings up until the event.

Me too, so excited for the trip. It will be an awesome weekend

[wldchld22]

I'm at 75 swings every other day. Should be ready. Really glad since this gives me a purpose to practice with the big stick

For sure! Have the golf bag here and ready to get to the range after work!

 

 

[Boricua Golf]

We don't have indoor ranges here (at least where I live), weather is supposed to be in the mid 50s this weekend so I might get out and play some, at worse I'll hit the range this Saturday...oh Happy New Year to all my WRX savages as well, can't wait to meet you all in a month, take care and God bless...

[3_Jack_Par]

Supposed to be 46 here on Saturday -- definitely planning to hit some balls at least once a week to make sure I keep the swing in some kind of shape for this thing. Fortunately, there are two covered ranges with heated bays within a reasonable distance of my house, and if I get desperate, there's an indoor golf dome a couple miles from my office.
