2017 Bison Watch Parties

[bri-dog]

Anyone hosting a watch party, feel free to post your info here!

I'm adding a little incentive to attend this year; the owners of the bar have agreed to pitch in some cash so I can offer weekly prizes (I'm thinking $30-$40 value each week) and I managed to corner the local Anheuser Busch rep during the fight last night. He seemed agreeable to donating a grand prize at the end of the year (he mentioned maybe a gas grill or a Yeti cooler). Each game attended gets you an additional entry for the grand prize. Go Bison!!!!

Watch party locations listed here (not yet updated)...

Holy shot! Add all this metro areas up and I bet there is at least a few hundred fans we aren't catering too!

Does anyone know of a good spot in downtown Philly to watch the game on 11/4?
Heading out there to catch the Eagles/Broncos on 11/5 and need to see the Dakota Marker game!

If the Broncos don't get rid of Siemian by then, count on the Eagles looking like world beaters on defense. Since putting up 52 on the Cowboys, the Broncos have managed to only score 42 points the last four games.

I'm going as a Wentz fan, but one of our group is a Broncos fan. He plans on hiding his shame under a #11 Bison jersey!

There's no shame being a Broncos fan and wearing a Wentz Bison jersey, especially if you like defense. However, there is shame thinking the Broncos' offense has "hope" this season. They are the classic example of what happens when an offense is not led by an alpha-male. Eagles no longer have that problem.

Not an official watch party due to it just being me the last few times, but I'll be at the O'Line Sports Grill:

2813 N Hurstbourne Pkwy
Louisville KY
(underneath Hwang's Martial Arts studio)

Owner is a good dude who always makes sure his staff knows the Bison get a TV every Saturday. Food is good, drinks are cheap and kids are welcome.

Contact the alumni association. They’ll probably still add you to the list and may send you some swag.

Kristi was sick today.. She's gonna be pissed if I tell her we got a pretty decent crowd today. Well, not great for some bars, but for the newest one in the Denver area, it was good.

Poor gal, hope she’s back soon.

See you guys in few weeks. Wish we weren’t running an event next week as I’m looking forward to seeing the Bison run all over the Jackrabbits! It’ll be interesting explaining to a foreigner (UWW Official) about American Football when I have the game going at the review table.

Depends on what you're after really - Sickies has a pretty good selection of craft beers, and a lot of burgers as the focus. There's quite a bit more space in Sickies too. Starz serves mostly domestic and "throwback" beers like PBR, Grain Belt, etc. They have decent food and it's pretty reasonable.

Not quite. :)

It was halftime, so everyone was in the bathroom. We had about 30 people, with the Bison game on the 120 inch projector screen. The 32-inch (good eye, BTW, that's exactly what it is) had the Central Arkansas game on. We also had a 40-inch left of the big screen with the SDSU-UNI game.

If all goes to plan, this will be the last party I host this year as I will attend the rest in person. Well, I guess if all goes not as planned, this would be my last watch party of the year too, but we won't talk about that. Had a season ticket holder attend last week who was in town on business. Very cool the word is getting out. Best watch party in the Bluegrass!

Louisville Kentucky! Next Saturday: watch party at Big Al’s Beeritaville. 1715 Mellwood Ave, Louisville, KY. It is not permanently closed as Google says.

For anyone interested in a pregame tailgate at Casa Battleborn, I will provide brats, cokes and cheap beer. 10:30am, then we can walk to Big Als for the game. Send me a DM for my address.

Moving to this location thanks to ESPN and its proximity to my house. Plus, they have a pool table in their party area in case winning by too much gets boring for anyone.
