"Where to watch the game" for locations not in the bar finder or with an alumni club page
Yup, it's "that thread" again.
The disclaimer, of course, is that it's for locations which are neither in the (woefully outdated) Michigan bar locator or covered by an alumni club page.
For me, I'll be in the Quad Cities (Davenport and Bettendorf, IA and Moline and Rock Island, IL) tomorrow night and looking for a Michigan-friendly bar to watch the game. I may try to drag along my Sparty co-worker.
No alumni club anywhere in Iowa and the only IL one is in Chicago. The bar-finder also doesn't list any locations in the QC.
Anyone have experience watching Michigan games there? If no Michigan-friendly bar, any good sports bar, in general, at which to watch the game?
with my wife and dog (Bo), and maybe my daughter for 5 minutes, while texting my son throughout the game.
Go Blue
Bo doesn’t like screaming
I’m in Cleveland for business. Wearing my “Worst State Ever” t-shirt. Wish me luck.
My wife and I are both Alum. Family love the Alumni gatherings in the Fox and the Hound in Mayfield...
Someone will undoubtedly bitch, I am sure, and I admit to doing so on occasion when it comes to these threads, but you do point out one of the things that drives them - smaller metropolitan areas and the fact that the locator on this site has not been updated in quite some time. I think someone made a stab at doing it in 2011-2012 or so, but I don't know that it went very far.
I am watching the game in Barbados, on my boat docked near at my Colonial-era chateau with my mistress Maria (who looks exactly like Rihanna). All other "non-poors" are welcome to join me.
I'll think it over. I have to rethink my plans now that my international space station with all my stuff in it is hurtling toward the earth. Think I may just go with my original plan B, which was to watch the game on the squiggly 13" color television in the local Arby's lobby.
Oh, and eat at Arby's.
Maybe the space station will land in a certain toilet bowl looking stadium in Columbus?
if any season ticket holders got an extra ticket or 2 to the watch party since they got 4 each... been trying all day to track one down through contacts so looking on here
I'd be interested in buying one if you have one or know of someone who does CJSheppard88@gmail.com
I have a couple extra tickets.
I attempted a modernized M-friendly bar finder. Still in super-beta, and I still have more places to add, but if there's interest, I could re-focus my attention on it:
VictorsWatch.com
(Moms, please remove if this violates some board rule)
Two out of the three listed for Houston (Little J's and Local Pour) are out of business. The third one (Christian's Tailgate) is no longer a U-M watch party venue. The current watch party venue is Beer Market - Midtown.
A bunch of screens.
... and the National Championship game makes it even better... We met some great M fans in a random restaurant on Saturday, but were hoping that there might be a Michigan bar around here somewhere...Anyone have any insight/guidance?
Is Buffalo Billiards still the spot, or are there others (that hopefully have a better tap list and food than BB)?
I'll be in Cork, Ireland. Game is at 2am local time. Gonna have to go to bed early and set an alarm.
I was in Luxembourg and Germany for the first two rounds
Enjoy Cork. We’re leaving the area today and will be outside Limerick tonight. We had a great time watching Saturday night with a Michigan contingent in Dublin. I’m stressed about how to watch at 2:00 am tomorrow morning though. I’m not confident streaming here. I hope you have good luck in Cork!
I am flying to Cabo (I know it’s sucks) Monday morning. Does anyone know of a bar that I can watch the game? My hotel is one mile from downtown.
In Nashville was f’ing amazing for the Final 4!! We were travelling through the area to Florida and stopped in Nashville for an overnight and the bar was full of Michigan fans and alumni, so friggin fun!!
I’m sure Hennessy’s in Hermosa Beach, CA will have the game will full sound as always.
Kalypsos in Hanalei.
Currently doing a research project over in Kenya and I am trying to figure out how to watch the game (Hulu Live won't work, NCAA Streaming won't work). Anyone got any ideas?
Go Blue!
If any fellow Michigan fans happen to find themselves at JFK Airport awaiting an international flight scheduled to depart as the game is wrapping up, I'll probably be at an airport bar hoping the refs keep this one to a tight 2 hours.
