61? Damn, that is way too young. He reminds me of many of us. That passion and being true to your team.

Our Yooperlion was logged in a couple days ago and I want to say he talked about living some odd hours beyond the bridge. It is my thought and sincerest hope these are 2 different people.

Oh, man! 61
That sucks!
He never admitted he was Yooperman, and I pray it wasnā€™t Yooperlion, but, he was sheepish in answering.
In either case, my heart goes out to the family and they will be in my thoughts.
Come on, Yooperlion. Talk to us.

Man, I cannot imagine having to wake-up at 1am to drive to Ford Field to watch a game. He was a fan on a whole nother level.
I have a hard time making the time to watch half of the Lions games in my Lay-Z-boy.

Superfans like this are hard to come-by.

I would just come down and spend Saturday night in the D

I do that 75% of the time and I only live 2:45 from Ford Field

Problem solved

But sad to hear this

I was in the UP over the holiday weekend just north of Detour and there was a bar and on the sign was Yooperman and a Detroit Lions logo next to it.

I wonder if this was his bar or if this is the home of another Yooper Lion fan.

Well that stinks.

RIP Yooperman, may your journey in the afterlife be filled with honolulu blue tinged super bowls.
