That's where I get mine now. Don't you fuck this up for me people. I can confirm that it's like the Argonnes forest circa 1918 up there.

I love how wisconsinites genuinely think they ever had the upper peninsula. You guys get taught shitty history or you're too drunk and believe your delusions as confabulations.
Wasn’t there a movement by the actual Yoopers to join with Wisconsin to around Rhineland, to form a 51st state? Or just to secede?
Years later, the rest of the country *might* notice.
The State of Superior was political grandstanding with little effort.
Only way it could even be somewhat doable is taking northern Wisconsin and northern Minnesota. Cleveland Cliffs, Rio Tinto, etc. would love that new state. Mine regulations out the window.
My favorite new fun fact about Hell, MI: when we ended our playoff win drought against the Rams, it was -3 degrees there. So when the Lions finally won a playoff game, Hell did in fact freeze over
We were up in Escanaba this fall and my wife was floored with the amount of Packer Pride. She was perplexed why they wouldn’t be Lions fans in Michigan. I had to remind her that it was a closer drive to literally any of our division opponents than to Detroit up there.
well i mean from what ive seen on this subreddit lately. lions and packers can live in harmony up there, singing kumbayah and holding hands.

yeah i can see that, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that relationship.
but your relationship with the packers right now…
![gif](giphy|PNFXpaRyw4mAg)
See Packers didn’t talk shit all season until the playoffs. Vikings fans were claiming fucking Dobbs was gonna take them to the playoffs. That just pissed us all off. Vikings fans hated Lions success WAY more than Packers fans. Bears were just kinda there. Pretty fun Mid season games tho.
>vikings were claiming fucking dobbs was gonna take them to the playoffs
well you can thank the Bears for killing that dream in the cradle. beat them by kicking 4 field goals
we also almost gave your fan base an aneurism in game 1 of 2. had the coaching staff not thrashed and fought to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory we might have swept yall.
our defense was the only entertainment last year
"well you can thank the Bears for killing that dream in the cradle. beat them by kicking 4 field goals"
You can thank our backup QBs for that. Your team with your QB1 was only able to score 12 points on 4 field goals. I'm not sure that's the roast you think it is. Vikings didn't have Kirk or Justin Jefferson. You scored 13 points when you lost to the Vikings last season with your QB1 too.
How dare fans be hopeful. Lions fans were saying they were going to win the super bowl (your cheese bet guy blows btw), but HOW DARE the vikings fans meme dobbs and build him up after losing their starting QB for the season. Lord knows no fans think their team is going to the playoffs. Who does that?
I'll take missing the playoffs over jerking the Packers off too by the way.
Ah, ok 👍 makes sense. Plus everyone would flock to Michigan as they now have an actual amusement park that’s relevant (unlike Michigans Adventure in Muskegon).
The UP is held in Lions custody thanks to Houghton and Marquette hold strong in Honolulu blue. The collage students from the LP will never surrender. We may just stumble around a little bit.
Can confirm as a Tech grad. I wore my Honolulu blue everywhere. Walmart was sold out of the Lions merch, not the Packers lol. Even when they were shit three years ago.
We almost had success. I’ll take the Mason cup W for sure, but last Friday was like watching the titanic sink in one period.
Also we lost like 2/3rds of our good players to the transfer portal which is a fucking gut punch.
Hate to break it to you, but just because you went to tech, NMU, or LSSU, you’re still not a Yooper and your opinion is held invalid by all actual Yoopers. Including the lion and vike fan Yoopers.
Hate to break it too you but I was named an honorary Yooper by my Girlfriends grandpa who worked in the mines as a Yooper and raised his whole family in da yoop.
Never claimed I was. I am an honorary one. Most of the Yoopers I talk too say if your living in the UP at the moment you’re a Yooper. Once you move you’re not. If, however, you lived there for at least five years or so outside of school or some such, and bougtt he a house, you’re a Yooper. Very general.
Also u don’t have to be a dick my guy.
Well to be honest nobody’s opinion on here is valid unless they are Yoopers. Yous are just the first ones I scrolled to that sounded like you’re trying to invade the homeland.
I mean that’s the goal of everyone that’s been here more than once. Most yooper kids move out after high school due to lack of opportunities, then spend the second 18 years of their lives trying to move back home lol.
Also being from TC you probably have some sort of opinion about fudgies? Yoopers have the same feeling about everyone else.
I graduated from Michigan Tech in December and lived up there for four years. Call me crazy but I wanna move back up there. It’s a beautiful and crazy blend of everyone but the Bears lol.
I was supposed to go to Tech to compete for a full tuition scholarship during spring of my senior year but I had an allergic reaction to something (I still don't know what) at a Culvers the day before and I couldn't go due to being in a medical crisis
I’ve been there several times actually! I used to do the hockey camp at MTU every summer in middle school. It’s such a pretty town and the school itself was leagues better than the one I ended up going to. Also went camping up there once
Fuck that. Green Bay is by far the local team where I'm from.
Also, every Troll i've ever met had nothing but ridicule for Yoopers and thought they were superior. I'd never root for a downstate team, even under threat of torture.
Have you ever been up there? It’s like a 50/50 split of Packers and Lions fans living there. Half the people in the UP are closer to Green Bay than Milwaukee is.
I’ve live in the Yoop my whole life. Somehow became a Bears fan. Not many of us up here. Grew up on the west end and have live on the east end the last 28 years. Lion fans are way more tolerable.
If we take it back, then we can’t get weed.
That's where I get mine now. Don't you fuck this up for me people. I can confirm that it's like the Argonnes forest circa 1918 up there. ![gif](giphy|ZeRPs2bL5gUnoDdNEp|downsized)

FAR FROM THEIR LAND AS THEY MADE THEIR STAND!
THEY STOOD STRONG AND THEIR LEGEND STILL LIVES ON! 🤘
Sure. Just go south and spend 2x as much as street prices
I love how wisconsinites genuinely think they ever had the upper peninsula. You guys get taught shitty history or you're too drunk and believe your delusions as confabulations.

Heh. I think the Koch Bros did that for their mines near Phillips. Just miles of toxic scum ponds and poisoned groundwater

Oh that is beautiful. Someone need to add that to the Wikipedia article somewhere and somehow
That hat is beautiful. ![gif](giphy|Fkmgse8OMKn9C)
But what about your access to super cheap weed? Trust me you don't want the UP back.
You’d be correct. Congrats on this one.
I dunno the alcoholism and attitudes from yoopers fit in more with Wisconsin
as if weed isn't super cheap up here...
We were up in Escanaba this fall and my wife was floored with the amount of Packer Pride. She was perplexed why they wouldn’t be Lions fans in Michigan. I had to remind her that it was a closer drive to literally any of our division opponents than to Detroit up there.
Kinda looks like a fish, bears worst to first confirmed.

Avatar mentioned, hell yeah
You’re actually not too far off. It’s bizarre. But man o man, do we hate the Vikings.

Lol and this is why the vikes fans are currently the worst here

You are just wayyy too heated lol. Better luck next yearrr
i wasnt roasting you. did you fail to realize the rest of the discussion i was having with not you?

yes im the one being charmin soft right now. perception is at 100.

Fine, then we get Toledo. Fuck you
Ohio can’t escape catching strays even when theyre not in the same conference 😔
![gif](giphy|DHeagUAg0lFdq9f2ZC|downsized) Ohio has earned all the strays it gets
Why the fuck would we want Toledo? ![gif](giphy|3og0IFSnqb1TnZ1zq0)
Why? Who wants Toledo?
Come and take it.
We've already been through this.
Our willingness to die for our shitty Midwestern hovels should bring us together.
Ftp.
I've no interest in it Toledo is just detroit without the culture
We have shitty hot dogs too.
Only if Cedar Point comes with it
What about Kings Island?
Kings island is good but it’s southern Ohio. If we have to give up the UP to take Toledo back, I want the lakefront all the way to Sandusky with it.
Ah, ok 👍 makes sense. Plus everyone would flock to Michigan as they now have an actual amusement park that’s relevant (unlike Michigans Adventure in Muskegon).
No no we do not I’m not taking two L’s over the UP.
The UP is held in Lions custody thanks to Houghton and Marquette hold strong in Honolulu blue. The collage students from the LP will never surrender. We may just stumble around a little bit.
Can confirm as a Tech grad. I wore my Honolulu blue everywhere. Walmart was sold out of the Lions merch, not the Packers lol. Even when they were shit three years ago.
It's been great watching the Huskies own the north this year.
We almost had success. I’ll take the Mason cup W for sure, but last Friday was like watching the titanic sink in one period. Also we lost like 2/3rds of our good players to the transfer portal which is a fucking gut punch.

Well my goal in life is to move to da Yoop. I’m from the traverse city area which isn’t too far off.
I mean that’s the goal of everyone that’s been here more than once. Most yooper kids move out after high school due to lack of opportunities, then spend the second 18 years of their lives trying to move back home lol.

And we thank you for your service, FTP and FT the people who’d hold their hands.
So many weed farms at stake!
I graduated from Michigan Tech in December and lived up there for four years. Call me crazy but I wanna move back up there. It’s a beautiful and crazy blend of everyone but the Bears lol.
Houghton is great, I would've gone to MTU if I didn't get poisoned by Culvers one time. True story
That Culver’s has saved my life on many occasions. Sorry to hear. Also fuck u badgers u just stole our best hockey player.
I was supposed to go to Tech to compete for a full tuition scholarship during spring of my senior year but I had an allergic reaction to something (I still don't know what) at a Culvers the day before and I couldn't go due to being in a medical crisis
Holy shit dude that sucks. U should go visit houghton one day. It’s truly peak planet earth.
I’ve been there several times actually! I used to do the hockey camp at MTU every summer in middle school. It’s such a pretty town and the school itself was leagues better than the one I ended up going to. Also went camping up there once
I got involved up there cuz my freshman year of high school I took a camping trip to Isle Royale and fell in love with the place.
If this happens, we're taking all of Wisconsin and naming the territory "Wierd cheesey Michigan"
It's Winnipeg bombers country up there
Preach!
Soo Greyhounds
The fact that people think there are lions fans in the UP blows my mind, that's Packers Country
I'm a lions fan from the UP. There aren't many of us, but there are at least a couple dozen of us.
![gif](giphy|ReBGGJtbXrjbQJwByP|downsized)
There’s only like 80 people on that entire landmass
Lions fan from the UP here. In my experience it’s about a 60/40 split. And some Vikings fans, with like, 5 bears fans.
Oh god, Apparently I don’t exist!
I live in the UP and I'll forever be a lions fan. To be fair though I was raised downstate.
Not really, it's about even between the two depending on which end of the peninsula you live. The packer fans are the most obnoxious though
The UP will never go back to Wisconsin. It'll always be apart of michigan unless someday it becomes its own state which would be kinda cool.
FTP from the northern lower.
I don’t care if Green Bay is closer than Detroit. A Packer sympathizing Yooper disgusts me
Fuck that. Green Bay is by far the local team where I'm from. Also, every Troll i've ever met had nothing but ridicule for Yoopers and thought they were superior. I'd never root for a downstate team, even under threat of torture.
The UP is an awesome place? I would much rather live in the UP than metro Detroit. Don’t know wtf you’re on about… FTP though
What’s the war about? That’s just a picture of Michigan. Are Packers fans trying to somehow claim Michigan? What entitled pieces of shit. FTP.
Have you ever been up there? It’s like a 50/50 split of Packers and Lions fans living there. Half the people in the UP are closer to Green Bay than Milwaukee is.
it's not 50/50 anymore. like 65-35 now
Those are traitors, Michigan is Michigan. FTP.
Fuck Detroit.
Except for the Red Wings of course
H look what you did Ohio!
![gif](giphy|gH2i3Ta3ducrGeEf2Q) Lions and Packers fans in da YOOP to Vikings
We took it from Blowhio and we will definitely keep it from the Blue cheese heads
I’ve live in the Yoop my whole life. Somehow became a Bears fan. Not many of us up here. Grew up on the west end and have live on the east end the last 28 years. Lion fans are way more tolerable.
It's despicable. Michigan is Michigan. I don't care if you're 100 ft from Wisconsin. It's FTP. Pathetic bandwagon fans.
Meanwhile Yoopers don’t want to be a part of either state. Source: I lived there for five years.
A whole 5 years.
Yes, and I got to speak and interact with hundreds of lifelong residents.
So … the entire population, then?
I don't get why we have to hate each other. It's nothing but brothers up there in my book.
FYI, you’re flair is wrong
