This list in no way reflects the fact that I am a horrific jinx and my two teams play very important football games today at 2:20pm against Iowa and Sunday at 3:40pm against Detroit. It isn't like I successfully jinxed Andrew Luck by endorsing him right before he played the cowboys, and it isn't like I'm trying that strategy again. It isn't like that at all.

I feel like even though there was a very important reason for this post, it was still incredibly difficult to write. I, for one, am incredibly surprised you even got 6 things to like about Detroit. Bravo!
ReplyDeletehaha I knew this had something to do with sports but now it's very clear. i like the reasons CB gave to love Detroit. SO SPOT ON.
ReplyDeleteI'm from Council Bluffs, Iowa. Once, "Criminal Minds" had an episode that took place here. It's like they didn't even google what it looked like. We're a decent sized city with lots of trees. They showed a Mayberry-esque Main Street with the California mountains in the background. It was kind of sad, and I can only suspend disbelief so far.
ReplyDeleteI see what you did there. ;) Good luck to Tennessee, because for the love, SOMEONE in the SEC should win their bowl game!
ReplyDeletehahahahah dying love it. I grew up on the border of Detroit and the suburbs off 8 mile and when I take people to sports games downtown they get all freaked out because I pay a random homeless looking dude on the street to watch my car. Go LIONS!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in Iowa. That's another reason to love it. :) However, I'm not a Hawkeyes fan, so I care little about the bowl game today.
ReplyDeleteI am from Detroit and the thing about the wheels is true. We do love the Lions but jeez... it's like you love your ugly stepchild sometimes:) Tough. Go Lions!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the play off game on Sunday. I'm going to have to take a nap. Due to it come's on pretty late in Germany. Go Lions. Also happy my man Suh is able to play in the game.
ReplyDeletehahaha too funny! Maybe I should have tried this strategy for my Rebels the other day
ReplyDeleteI always root for Iowa! My fiance grew up there :)
ReplyDeleteHaving lived in Detroit for a year and now currently residing in Hawaii, I WOULD MOVE BACK TO DETROIT TOMORROW WITHOUT HESITATION! It's the most underrated city in this country and I'll tell anyone who asks me! :)
ReplyDeleteBig fan of Detroit. Played a lot of soccer there growing up and my husband played junior hockey just outside of the city. Lots of good memories in that place.
ReplyDeleteMy mom is from Detroit. It is a city that has been completely destroyed and it literally looks like a war zone. Ruins everywhere. So dangerous. The mayor is now in prison for being in the mobs pockets. #awesome but I know this is about sports which I know nothing about!!
ReplyDelete"Detroit murdered it." Hilarious! Considering Detroit is, like, the murder capital of the United States...
ReplyDeletelol.. I love these reasons for loving Iowa Detroit. Corn is very yummy!! I didn't know about the ice cream.
ReplyDeleteAhhh...yes. This makes so much more sense now after having read the last bit. I honestly thought to myself when I saw the title, "No. Absolutely not. Iowa is the worst state in the union and I hate that I have to spend time there (family lives there). Also, Detroit? No. Scary and boring - although, I do love me some Motown." Well, you'll be thrilled now because your jinxes worked! Boyfriend was OVER THE MOON after that Tennessee game.
ReplyDeleteGlad you brought this one together for us at the end... :)
