Quick Lane Bowl Roll Call
Is anyone else going to the 2018 version of the Cherry Bowl?
I'm taking my eldest daughter down for lunch and the game. I hope to see some of you all there. I'll bet mgoblog has more registered users than people who will walk through the turnstiles at Ford Field today.

I'm headed downtown later as well. A dude from my work was selling tickets for charity so about 20-30 of us are all meeting up. Should be fun. I've never seen a college triple option team in person before.
December 26th, 2018 at 2:05 PM ^
You're probably gonna get to see some fireworks.

My buddy and I are going. Thinking of kicking it old school and taking the shuttle bus from Nemos in corktown if they're running it. Just like an old wings game.
December 26th, 2018 at 11:06 AM ^
+1 for the Nemo's reference.
I've taken their shuttle to Tigers games several times. Great watering hole to meet up at for pre- and post-game drinks and food.
That said, I'd recommend calling them to see if they are running the shuttle bus to the Quick Lane Bowl when there will be more folks spending money at Quick Lanes today than attending that game.
Obviously not going myself. Instead, packing today for my trip to Atlanta and the Peach Bowl.

My buddy called and confirmed that the bus is getting some run tonight. All aboard!

Nemo's still runs shuttles to the Wings' (as well as all Detroit teams) games, just as many other establishments do in Corktown, Downtown, Jefferson corridor.

Minny vs. Ga Tech? I'd go were I up there, that sounds like a fun game.
December 26th, 2018 at 9:32 AM ^
I would actually love to go but for pesky annual family obligations
December 26th, 2018 at 10:08 AM ^
Eating borscht and drinking vodka, comrade?

I wish

You're Putin, damnit... banish the family to Siberia and go to the game if that's what you want to do.
That's one of the benefits of being the Russian President (read: dictator)

My partner went to GT, so he was totally geeked (no pun intended) that they were playing in Detroit and we can go to the game after spending Christmas in Michigan. We have season tickets for Tech, anybody going is in store for a fun game. That offense is not something you see often and nobody runs it better than Paul Johnson.
Go Blue and Go Jackets (sorry Big Ten brethren)
December 26th, 2018 at 10:42 AM ^
GT is one of the few teams I root for over random big 10 opponent. Three of my very good friends at UofM did their undergrad at GT.
December 26th, 2018 at 2:04 PM ^
Go Jackets!
December 26th, 2018 at 10:49 AM ^
Nope, but wish I was!
December 26th, 2018 at 10:51 AM ^
I will be there with family!
December 26th, 2018 at 11:15 AM ^

Not planning to watch any bowl games except ours. Time for some World Junior hockey.
December 26th, 2018 at 11:24 AM ^
Row the boat!

They should do something to honor Willis Ward at the game. The first time that Georgia Tech came to the state of Michigan for a football game was in 1934, when Ward was benched because of his race (see "Black and Blue" if you haven't already). Seeing as how Ward grew up in Detroit, just a couple miles from Ford Field, they should acknowledge him in some way.
Hopefully the Quick Lane Bowl people are scouring MGoBlog in the hours before the game, looking for ideas...

The Cherry Bowl. Ah, memories. I watched it with my dad from a hospital room in Big Rapids, Michigan, when I was very little and had mono. Sparty got manhandled by Army.
December 26th, 2018 at 2:03 PM ^
Of course. PJs last game in my hometown is an amazing xmas gift.
December 26th, 2018 at 8:32 PM ^
PJs last game?
Is he going somewhere else (by rowboat, of course)?
December 26th, 2018 at 2:19 PM ^
Will be there. I've seen all the B1G teams - x Nebraska - live. GT will become the 9th ACC team I've seen live (missing VT, UNC, Wake, FSU and Clemson).
December 26th, 2018 at 8:53 PM ^
Who would have thought, the second worst B1G team in the worst division of the conference utterly destroyed the second best team in the ACC Coastal division. I could also add that it did so in much more impressive fashion than either Georgia or Clemson.
But I must have something wrong because the ACC and SEC are the two best conferences, right?

We are Michigan fans, but have went to 3 Quick Lane Bowls and we are from Traverse City. We always cheer for the Big Ten or Mid Anerican Conference team. Way to go Gophers!!!
