OT: Real Madrid-Manchester United Match Tailgate

Submitted by truferblue22 on

Hey guys,

 

I know plenty of you on here despise soccer (see the comments sections of Brian's (fantastic) USMNT posts), but for those who do appreciate the world's game and happen to be going to the soccer game on Saturday (or just want to come hang out and tailgate) please come and see us. My friend and I are starting an American Outlaws chapter in Ann Arbor; this is just a way for us all to introduce ourselves and have a good time. Whether you have any interest of joining AO or not, you're more than welcome to come. We'll have beer but I don't expect it to last all day so come early and/or BYOB. Also as long as we can find a grill we'll have food, too. I anticipate we'll be on the golf course around 11am or so -- I'll post on our facebook page a gps screenshot of our location once we're there.

UPDATE: It has been brought to my attention that the golf course will not be open for parking. We will post-up at Pioneer, most likely. Check the Facebook page (linked above) for our specific location on Saturday.

 

Hope to see you there!

PS.  did anyone else ever fight club while in Ann Arbor?  I can remember  a couple nights outside of parties, with huge circles, and people taking turns fist fighting.  It was awesome; it was righteous.

Haha...The number of people who have said that to us is quite hilarious, actually. I guess you could say that's half the reason we're doing it. The AO-Detroit chapter was in Livonia until very recently (they've since moved to Detroit proper) so it was a bit unnecessary to have two so close together (and against AO rules, as well). Now that they have moved so far away, we figured it was time.

I don't know that people hate soccer on here as much as you think. I love soccer and grew up playing it but I do not want to read about the U.S. men's international team when I come to a Michigan sports blog. Good on you for trying to get people more invested locally in soccer.

Fun fact....if anyone happened to read that article on mgoblue or on mlive the other day about how the Michigan soccer team surprised two elderly guys while they were eating with tickets for the Man U Real Madrid game...they did it partially on behalf of my cousin David who was a marine. My facebook was blowing up about it with how excited some of my family was.

THEN DONT CLICK ON IT! Ya know, kinda like the OT game of thrones, star wars, breaking bad, and tigers threads.



I, for one, appreciate Brian's efforts to educate the masses, and I enjoyed the world cup much more than I usually do because I had an idea of what our opponents are like.

So when you sign up to be an AO member they send you a tee shirt....I had the exact same thought as soon as I saw it. It's ironic though as I assume soccer is probably not hugely popular in Harley-rider circles...lol

Thanks for the info. I've been curious about a local AO chapter as until now the closest one is in Detroit. I figured there was enough interest locally to support a chapter.

So it looks like I have no idea where we'll be for sure. anyone who wants to stop by just please make sure you visit our Facebook page. As I said I'll post that morning where we are.
