ED-Seth: Welcome to our Bar Finder Sticky. The user community has kept this going since 2009 to help MGoBloggers find UM-friendly sites for their suds consumption.

We also got a big boost in curation in 2016 from our sponsors, the...

THE ORIGINAL POST:

A couple weeks ago, I put together a google map with all of the Michigan bars I'm aware of (and also everything from the spreadsheet that bouje has been maintaining.) The map is here.  

Hopefully this will prevent the "where's the Michigan bar in Pittsburgh/Fresno/Topeka/wherever" threads that pop up every week, but if your favorite gameday hangout isn't on here, put it in the thread and let me know.  I'll do my best to keep the map up to date.

Who needs my extra ticket

I'm still awake in a hotel in Indy at 2 am and need someone to use the ticket for my son who couldn't get off work( stupid Jolly Pumpkin). Sec . 117 row 20 iin the end zone. Eight of us in our group ( 3 UM alums) and I won't disparage our QB or red zone offense ( if there is such a thing). I have personally met about a quarter of the team and about half the coaches so I might have a story or two you might find interesting ... on the other hand I have been hit in the head with a flying puck and lacrosse ball at UM games so I might have CTE. Leave an email and I will search you out at the stadium or golf course. $30 sounds good.

4 PM- Michigan at Purdue (FOX): Joe Davis, Brady Quinn, Bruce Feldman

Davis and Quinn are young guys, but they seem to be fairly competent.  Davis seems to do a good job in announcing baseball.  He did announce Army @ Ohio State last week and did a fairly good job in my view.

Look, I'm just saying that I don't think the Michigan football game announcting can be as bad as the announcing duos over the last three weekends, namely:

vs Florida - Tessitore+Blackledge

vs Cincy - Bob Wischusen+Brock Huard

vs Air Force - Kevin Kugler+ Matt Millen

So let's try to enjoy this.  Or shut the volume off altogether, as I often do.

 

For what it's worth, it's Ohio State fans' turn to enjoy Matt Millen's kernels of wisdom this week vs. UNLV.

College Bars in Manhattan (a list via Reddit)

Taken from Reddit

"With Gameday in NYC this weekend, I wanted to test the assertion that every school had its own bar in Manhattan. I've spent the past six hours trawling alumni association Facebook pages to find, ideally, a bar that there are currently consistent, publicly listed gamewatches at for the school, although consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds and I probably messed up in a few places"

Can't believe there's not a thread yet.

Great game ahead with Bronco Mendenhall in his second season coaching at Virginia.  Who you picking in this game? What you drinking?
