DETROIT WHIMSY
On Saturday night, a group of friends took me out on the town in Detroit to play a newly created game called "fowling." Fowling is one part football, one part bowling and one part cornhole. Essentially, you set up bowling pins on long wooden boards across from each other, about the distance of a bowling lane, then you attempt to knock down the pins by throwing the football. First to knock down all 10 pins wins.
This game sounds simple, and yet I failed miserably in trying to play it at Fowling Warehouse. WDIV-TV in Detroit did an awesome write-up on the founder and the origin of the game.
THE SCHEDULE
Be on the lookout for the HarBus as we roll through America. Use the hashtag #FS1OpeningDrive and follow us on Twitter at @edthesportsfan, @yardbarker and @FoxSports1 for more updates on the tour.
