I respectfully disagree. Beer is AN answer, but I advise after the game, not before. I'm originally from WI but now stuck in MN.

Good for you....my brother moved full time to Ham Lake (N. of Twins) about 15 years ago. Great place. Trust me...you could be "stuck" in much worse places here in the US. Unfortunately, he has taken on the local sports teams as his own, so now the Viking/Packer games have a bit more meaning to them with me...especially with Mr. Waffle Iron up there.

I want to join you in chastising your brother, but I did it with the Twins. Oh, I still like the Brewers and follow them. But I had a job with the Twins when I moved here 10 years ago, so you get kind of bonded. The wife is a die-hard Twins fan too, so it just makes sense.

Never leaving the Pack! GO PACK, GO!

Two Flakes, where will you be? If it's somewhere in the Detroit Metro area I could probably come see you work and say hello.

That would be a laugh.

Will be in Ann Arbor (staying with Dick Honig) 29th Sept thru 12th Oct, with a short trip down to Findlay,Ohio to visit with Jack Winters(MAC referee) on 4th Oct.

MSU@Michigan tickets are lined up for us (fingers crossed!).

As for games, our schedule is still being sorted out. Being "foreigners", we're just happy to take whatever slots can be found for us. My last trip in 2007, I had a terrific Thurs night JV game - a 44-50 shootout at Taylor Truman. Wyandotte were the visitors I think.
Dick Weiss of the Michigan Officials Association usually tries to sort us out with some JV games in the Metro area. He generally lets us know a day or two beforehand what he has for us.

I think some Sunday munchkin football is on the cards again. Did that for the first time back in 2004. Brilliant fun - some of those kids barely came up to my ankles
