Yes. Still available. From your handle, I’m guessing that you are in Tennessee. If so, I’m headed up to Detroit on Tuesday afternoon out of Bristol,TN area and am offering a ride along with the tix. Let me know.
Its HERE...Its Nationals Week ....LFG!!!!!!!

Word to the wise, he's not in TN..
It's his version of Catfishing.

Ditto, though wrestling was an acquired taste for Mrs. Roar. She's definitely hooked now

Used to be in TN. Now in PA. If we do this, we'll need to meet. Send me an email, please.

@backdrft76, do me a favor and delete my email address from your message. And, if you want to get together for a beer, sounds good. But, write my email address down before you delete it. 🤣
Oh, we could have a cell phone publishing party, then.I'll be happy to publish your cell phone unless you...
Only drink imported water.
We were in Michigan in October for 10d, began/ended in metro Detroit.
General recommendations:
- Dearborn has the best Arabic food in the country, and with several ethnic varieties that are hard to find anywhere else in the US. It's only 15-20 min from downtown. Highly recommended for anyone with a car, whether driving in or renting at the airport.
- For your Arabic food, Lebanese and "Middle Eastern" (almost always Lebanese) should be your fall-back plan -- you can get these anywhere.
- Get "Detroit Style Pizza" once. It's not east coast pizza, also not that Chicago monstrosity. Not bad if one can put away east coast pizza snobbery for one meal.
- I wonder what the Greektown section of downtown is known for ...
In Dearborn:
- Sheeba (Yemeni, downtown Dearborn) -- excellent food, best we meal had in 10d in Michigan; palacial restaurant with huge parking lot in the back
- Al Chabab (Syrian, East Dearbornistan) -- really good, get the cherry kabab; hole in the wall with street parking, easy to miss without GPS (yellow sign not easy to read from street)
We didn't eat in the city (just didn't turn out that way), but here were the places we had highlighted:
- Leila (Lebanese, downtown)
- Frita Batidos (Cuban/burgers, downtown)
- Vicente (Cuban, downtown)
- Brass Rail (pizza, downtown)
- Mike's Kabob Grille (Lebanese diner, downtown)
- Detroiter Bar (burgers, Greektown)
- Golden Fleece (Greek, Greektown)
- Niki's Greektown Pizza
- Old Shillelagh (Irish pub, Greektown)
- Pie Sci Pizza (Midtown, need car)
- Takoi (Thai, Corktown -- SW of downtown, need car)
- El Barzon (upscale Mex, Mexicantown -- SW of downtown, need car)
The guides will tell you to go to Slows BBQ (Corktown). We ate there on a previous trip. I'd skip it -- it's OK but seriously overrated hipster food. You can get just as good anywhere else in the country.
was just listening to that initiate contatct show those 2 iowa fans talking the NCAA tourney talk about how iowa got screwed they didnt even know any other wrestlers except iowa and could even prononce and damn names correctly!!
Don't leave Detroit without getting a chicken shawarma at Bucharest Grill.
Mudgies Deli for lunch/day drinking/
Buddy's or Loui's for Detroit pizza. Supino's for thin crust.
Standby for great cocktails and decent food.
Brass Rail is a cool spot not far from LCA.
I'll think a little more
A lot of bars in Detroit will be a zoo Thursday, due to St Pat Day
Just to clarify for the curious, you celebrate the 'conceiving', or birth of your children?
I am getting to the age that just the thought or distant memory of conception is worthy of celebrating.
Almost ... it's Pizza Hut Sicilian pizza. (OK, better than the Hut, but you get the idea.)
Good catch on Buddy's -- I missed it in my city listings because we ate at the Dearborn branch.
It was good. Downtown location recommended.
A caution: if anyone suggests the original Buddy's on 6 Mile, smack them. Repeatedly. The restaurant is probably good. The area resembles 1990s Mogadishu, only blighted and dangerous.
I’ll be chillin’ with Lyckety Splyt and Rabbit so I should be good..
There are two good places (5-7 minutes walk) just south of the arena:
Town Pump Tavern at 2233 Park Ave
and
The Rusted Crow at 78 Adams Ave (W.)
These are new places, a little trendy, and a bit pricy.
Conceiving. Usually around 11:30/11:45 on Saturday night. This is not a joke. My wife’s brother was one of my coaches.
We should have 3 kids but the drive back from Cleveland in 2018 took too long as she was asleep by the time I got home. Plus, I think I stayed up most of the night trying to understand how Bo did it. I still can’t understand.

Rutgers fans have finally realized they aren't going to win it
So, your brother-in-law coached you right through that, huh? Awkward.
See my separate thread about a week or so ago. No one joined in. I found an Iowa podcast, Initiate Contact. Brutal but hilarious. Completely idiotic homers. Will definitely check back after nationals to see if they record something
Usually Rutgers' folks only buy tickets if they are hosting. Of course with Nick wrestling who knows what the perennial top 10ers were thinking.Rutgers fans have finally realized they aren't going to win it
