Big Ten Tournament Team Bars -- Michigan gets O'Reilly's
Here is a list of the team bars in Indianapolis for the BTT. They look to be the same as last year with the obvious addition of Nebraska.

Celebrate with like-minded fans at the following restaurants:
- Illinois - Ram Restaurant & Big Horn Brewery
- Indiana - Kilroy's Bar & Grill
- Iowa - Weber Grill Restaurant
- Michigan - O'Reilly's Irish Bar and Restaurant
- Michigan State - Slippery Noodle Inn
- Minnesota - Rock Bottom Brewery
- Nebraska - Champions Sports Bar and Restaurant at Indianapolis Marriott Downtown
- Northwestern - Buffalo Wings and Rings
- Ohio State - Champps Americana
- Penn State - Harry & Izzy's
- Purdue - Scotty's Brewhouse
- Wisconsin - Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar
I moved to Indy in June, and I've been to all of these except Buffalo Wings and Rings. Jealous that Penn State has Harry & Izzy's because that place is awesome and fits the Michigan fanbase to a T. O'Reilly's was fun last year, but it is pretty small, hopefully the weather will be nice enough for outside seating, but it is snowing here today.
Hope so see some of you down here, I'll probably repost the list on Wednesday or Thursday if it's cool with the mods.
Watching the game in Monterrey, Mexico
OK, I looked at the list of UM friendly bars and could not find one for Monterrey, Mexico. I could not even find an alumni association there to reach out to. Anyone have any idea of a bar that will show the game this weekend there?
If not, do you know if the game will be available via streaming?
All Michigan Fans in Gainesville (UF)
Calling all University of Florida graduate students, or any other Michigan fans trapped in the heart of Gator Nation (I know you're out there):
Where are you watching the UM-ND game this Saturday? Any good non-Gator'd-out bars? I was going to try to find one it on TV at one of the midtown bars, but I almost guarantee I won't be able to hear it over the Gators game going on simultaneously which will be blaring at all UF bars... Oh, and I don't have cable TV, so that's out.
Side note: Despite having many recent successes in sporting events, the UF student body seems to have meek showings to sporting events when compared to Michigan. They have a bigger student body and smaller stadium, but the demand for student tickets is much smaller compared to Michigan. You make me proud, Blue.
Proactive Alumni Bar Location Advice
As the season approaches, we start to see more and more "Where can I catch the game in (insert city here)" posts. This is meant as an informational posts to all new users out there who recently joined, as well as keeping (trying as I know this can be a lost cause sometimes) older members pleased.
For those that don't know an actual MGoBoard exists apart from the ticker on the right hand side, there is a very helpful Michigan bar locator thread. This thread can be found on the MGoBoard page or the mouseover on the tab above, that will help you find any bars that you might want to go to along with being able to ask for other locations. If you forget to look here and post on the board most people will be helpful, one or two will point you to the appropriate thread, and you will also get responses such as this everytime (similar to double posts).
Also, here is the link to the google maps page containing all (known) Michigan friendly bars.
I know this will be forgotten by next week, but maybe some people will remember. Also, these always got deleted really quickly last year with the response to just check the correct thread (from the Mods).
OT: Dublin Bar (sorry, but I have to)
Okay, don't hate me for doing this (I know it was done to death last week), but does anyone know of a either a UM or ND bar in Dublin, Ireland where I can watch the game next week (either fan bar will work as I can talk crap to ND fans). I have checked the stickied thread here and posted my question there, but it doesn't get the traffic that the main board gets. Mods feel free to pull this if you want as I know you have been having issues with OT issues, I just need an answer fairly quick so I can figure out where I can go before I leave.
P.S. - I have never embedded a link before so I am pasting it here in case it didnt work.

Where to Watch the Hockey Game Saturday Night?
I don't think this has been posted recently so I am throwing this question out there: Where is the best place around town to go watch the Michigan/Bemidji State game? Also, if you are going to be around town, where will you be watching the game?
