OT: I just moved to Kansas City
I just moved out to Kansas City and have seen the spirit club that doesn't seem very active and also the Michigan friendly bar in KC. I was just wondering if anyone thinks it would be appropriate to have an mgoblog list of fellow fans in your area. Obviously this would be a list that would be voluntary but with the meet-ups that we've had at the big house and other things around AA I thought that it would be nice to be able to find other Michigan fans out in the fringe states. (or anywhere for that matter)
Thanks,
Jason
I have heard of this particular establishment on Travel Channel. Damn, it looks so good.
My favorite is Oklahoma Joe's but I do enjoy Arthur Bryant's!
I just moved back to Ann Arbor 2 weeks ago after 6 years in Kansas City. I like your idea because it seemed like any kind of organized Michigan fan activities were seriously lacking... even during March Madness. Yet, you will see people walking around KC with Michigan gear on... so they are there.
Sorry for your luck. I hope you are compensated well for working on the holy day
Probably need to get out a little more if you can't find Wolverines in Grand Rapids... they're everywhere.
I was told that the Fox and Hound in Overland Park, KS at one time was owned by a Michigan alum and Michigan fans would always show up. About 10 years ago I did go and there were no Michigan fans and the waitress and manager did not know the owner! I wonder if I went to the wrong F&H
Mind the space
I think having local MGoBlog meet-ups is a really good idea. Seattleites, assemble!
There are a couple of M places in Seattle, the main one being Buckley's in Belltown.
I have a kid so I watch most of the games at home, but when I want to go see a game in public my go-to place is Empire Espresso in Columbia City. One of the owners is a big Michigan guy and it's much more chill than a full-on bar setting, and they do have beer & wine if you need to get a little drink on.
Yup, I know about Buckley's. More than going to a Michigan place, though, it would be cool to actually meet-up with fellow MGoBloggers for games and whatnot. Personally, I get more out of discussing the game than being surrounded by raucous drunks.
20 years ago, someone told be the owner of the Fox and Hound in Overland Park, KS...suburb of KC was owned by a Michigan fan. I went once but there was no Michigan fans there! The best bet is just find a buffalo wild wings with a lot TV's since the locals, KSU, KU, Mizzou and NE will take over all the sports bars.
Another MgoBlogger in Topeka? I thought I was the only one.
I thought I was the only one, not only in this small town but in KS! Hence my name UM in KS = uminks. I always wear my M cap where ever I go! I run into most UM fans in the KC area. Never got a go blue here in Topeka! Jerame Tuman is my favorite Michigan player from KS, he grew up near Liberal, KS!
Four exclamation points?! Either you've had a lot of caffeine or you're very excited to know of another MGoBlogger in Kansas.
Is everything really up to date there? I've always had my doubts.
Seattle here too. Used to like Rocksport, Rockspot, whatever it was in West Seattle. Buckley's too crowded for my taste. Mostly watch from home in Ballard.
We might have something here come football season. I'm on the northeastern fringe of Queen Anne, near Fremont (Queenmont, for short).
I think Brady Hoke drank all the beer in your town, so partying there probably wouldn't be that fun, huh?
but Lafayette for me.
I'm in Yarmouth NOva Scotia and know with absolute certainty that I am the only one here. Not only that, there are no sports bars whatsoever, we don't get BTN and it would cost an arm and leg to go watch a game live. I love where I live all year except duirng the college football season!
