Did you guys have a fun time there last time? As I said a few weeks, this is one of may favorite places to get together for games. Not crowded, but just enough people. Generally cool people working there. Board games to play if the games get boring, or to keep any chicks with you occupied. Very underrated place. I enjoyed it the 3-4 times we'd go there during football season or March Madness. I'd join y'all if I still in Chicago. Anyway, hope you had fun and have another good time if you meet up Saturday. Go Blue!

girl who has no concept of UM football, and was debating taking her to Duffy's for an eye opener. Not sure if I want to deal with the crowd. Is this place as crazy? or is it a good fanbase engaged in the game.

I went for the WMU game...met up with a fellow mgoblogger. much smaller place than Duffy's. was full of michigan fans, but full meant about 40-50 people. we sat at the corner of the bar and chatted it up with a few other fans. food was great. atmosphere was great...not crazy at all, but everyone went crazy for big plays/td's and the like. good balance of hearing the announcers or the person you're talking to and high fiving strangers on big plays. tables were available until about 30 minutes before the game, not sure if it has gotten anymore crowded since week 1. i would take your gf here for a game, then duffy's for msu/psu/or osu. i plan on getting up there at 10:15ish this saturday...will be at the SE corner of the bar in a tigers hat...if peeps are up for it, i can get a table as well. go blue! nick [email protected]
