Really? Not even Minnesotans, Wisconsonians, Michiganians?* Seems unlikely.

I get that often the whole truth ruins a great story, but when literally the entire premise rests on BS it kinda bugs me

Maybe I’m just weird.

*I actually have no idea what you people are called. I feel like people from Michigan should be called Michigeese but I also feel like that’s probably wrong and more likely to piss people off than my other best guess

*Minnesotans, Cheeseheads, Youpers, Michiganders.

I swear I’ve heard that last one.

People from Michigan are called Michiganders , or perhaps Michiganians.

Wisconsinities, Michiganders and Minnesotans.

(I’m a non-native Wisconsinite and therefore have no idea what is happening in this photo nor do I care. Unless it’s just a bunch of dudes being like, “hey let’s put our hockey sticks in a pile.”)

Michiganian or Michigander is correct, we technically don’t have an official term.

Michigander and Michiganian is appropriate for all people of Michigan. Youper of course is only appropriate for those in the Upper Peninsula.

Ha- yeah, I know - but I always think of da UP as a different place than the rest of Michigan. And they play a lot of hockey up there, too.

I think the government officially decided we are michiganders.

It’s Michiganders unless you live in the upper Peninsula then your a yooper and everyone else is a troll because they live below the bridge.

It’s Wiscons-In-ite. I’m also half Mainah and I have no idea what’s going on here. I never played hockey. My winter sport went from skateboarding indoors, or any non snow covered surface, to driving on snow and ice. I just don’t have the ankle strangthe for skying or skating

Massachusetts is a hockey place, no? Or is any interest strictly reserved for Bruin fandom?

I’d have thought skateboarding needed more ankle strength.

i’m personally not huge into sports, mostly cars. i dont get a ton of time for TV with the kids, plus i’d rather be doing something than sitting on a couch like mountain biking, so I might not be the best judge of this. There are certainly a good number of Bruins fans, but i dont think hockey is big here.

Not as much as skating, at least in figure skates. hockey skates do make it a lot easier. But I’ve also never been into team sports. Except volleyball.

02/09/2018 at 11:42

Yeah, I’m kinda useless on my own so I like team sports. I get bored pretty fast if I’m just by myself... ...which thinking about it now, is probably the reason I can’t do stuff—I get bored when I’ve barely tried. I find it hard to put out effort on things if someone else isn’t relying on me to do so.

What’s going on in that picture is picking teams by tossing all the sticks together and making two random piles. Now you know :)

Also Volleyball is awesome.

Volleyball is one of the few sports I am good at, and it brings out my competitive side.

It basically is. They pushed for statehood at one point.

I’m not from any of those places and have never played hockey in my life and yet because I have played other team sports in a pickup fashion it’s very obvious what is going on here.

So I would have thought. And yet you appear to be the first to have got it, unless everyone else was just too preoccupied with regional labels to think about the picture...
