Where is Everyone Watching The Game
- Thread starter Josh
- Start date
DJ's opens at 11 am. That's where I plan on watching. I'll have to stop by and verify they get the BTN when I leave work today.
Edit:
I stopped by and they have a sign on the front door saying they will open at 10:30 am Saturday for the game.

Was going to go to SRO's in NW Houston...
Now with Ike it's looking a lot more like Jerseyville in Plano...

Trying to decided between the Inner Harbor of Baltimore or Cyrstal City VA (basically Washington DC)
Not the answer you were looking for but fits the title of the thread
(aka I need more credits for this weekend...)
Funny thing is I'll be at Crystal City at 11 AM!!! Haven't been there yet, but I hear the place rocks!! You think there will be a few clones there this far east?
For one day of the year, I'll be very thankful to be in the middle of Buckeye country. I'll be watching the game on my couch thanks to the Big Ten Network.
I'm going to check out the KC game watch and then hopefully a victory celebration at Power and Light afterwards!

Is anyone going to be in Central Illinois? Right now I'm just planning on watching from my couch. The wife is going to her sisters bachelorette party in Davenport. So I'm stuck by myself. I don't mind watching the game by myself, its the drinking. I feel bad kind of like an alcoholic, which just leads to more drinking. Its a vicious cycle
I will always have fond memories of my first visit to Merkles. It was three years ago. The week after we slaughtered the Hawks. Mrs. SLCyclone bought me Cubs tickets for Friday and Bears tickets on Sunday. We enjoyed visiting Merckles on Saturday. My "Cyclone Football" hat brought the entire crowd plenty of bad memories of the week before!
Thanks for the update! I promise you I'll get my share of wings, beer, and yell like I'm at the game. I'm already nervous...
I was forced into working for someone who took vacation this weekend. Thankfully I have the place to myself and will be spending 3 hours at my computer listening to the game. :no:
Hmmm leaning towards Crystal City now... atleast I know I won't be alone
According to the Alumni webpage.... in the Washington DC Alumni Association there are:
Total alumni – 2,633
Total Alumni Association members – 566
Now I assume that covers a bit more than Washington DC...
It is my understanding that Cyrstal City is the traditional game watch location so I imagine a number of people will be there, though the same group is the one setting up the game watch at the ESPN Zone in the Baltimore Inner Harbor (next to the Hard Rock Cafe, part of the old power plant complex there... right by the National Aquirium in Baltimore. Never been inside ESPN zone but the location is great) I'm just not sure how many people are going to either, and given that there is an O's game in Baltimore that night, parking will be a bit pricer probally.
I'm also trying to decide how dressed up I want to get for this... something about riding the Metro or walking through downtown Baltimore wearing a shiney red and gold cape with my face painted seems like an invitation for trouble! :spinny:
On a side note... it takes 3-4 weeks to send out membership stuff for the Alumni Association?

The alumni assoc lists 3 gamewatches for KC. Any idea what's the best one? If I can't get anyone in Lawrence to watch it with me I might head out to KC.
The Seattle alumni group will be watching from Jillians in downtown Seattle (complete with their $8 beers). The game starts at 9:00 a.m. here so to get a good head of steam going by gametime, you pretty much need to start on Friday night and run straight through.
It's a fun bar because Texas A&M and Oklahoma also have game watches there (it's a big bar). Oddly, their fans are pretty cool.
There were 75 ISU fans at our game watch last year. The only problem was some people married poorly so they had to bring their Hawkeye spouses. Giving them the beat-down was pretty sweet, but I'd rather watch the game without potential confrontation.

My daughter and two of her friends are hanging out at The Other Place in Overland Park. Anybody headed that direction? Sounds like it's a little Hawk-heavy and they could use all the Cyclone fans they can get. One thing I do know, none of these three will take any **** from mouthy Hawk fans.
