Suggestions for Watching the B1G Championship in AA Saturday
I am heading into AA from Kansas City with my Daughter (21) Friday to see the hockey game Friday night. I then have tickets for the Basketball game Saturday. I am staying in AA and looking to watch the B1G Championship Saturday night with like minded fanatics. Any suggestions as to best place to watch the game?

Campus bars will be a mob scene. Hit up Old Town Tavern and watch it with the townies.

Charley’s or Brown Jug if you can get there early enough but I’m imagining students will be getting there hours before to hold down tables before the game. We had people holding down a table starting at like noon for the 2018 NCAA basketball title game. Connor O’Neills, Old Town, Caseys, Fraser’s, Pretzel Bell are also solid off campus options. But you’ll have to get to any place early. I’d plan on an early dinner around 4pm and then pace yourself with light beer until 8pm.
Would join you but I’ll be at Lucas Oil Stadium. Go Blue!

I’m staying at the Kensington Saturday for a late family thanksgiving. There’s a BW3 across the street which is where I shall be. I know it’s not “college scene Michigan” but I am almost 50 and have no business creeping the kids out with my appearance. At least I’ll be amongst friends.

Make an online reservation at Jim Brady’s and request to be on the second floor. Tons of TVs.

Appreciate all the responses.
Kung Fury - I made a reservation at Jim Brady's (2nd floor) as I will not be getting out of the basketball game until 3PM and I suspect most of the other places recommended (Brown Jug/Frasers/Charley's) will be slammed already.
Any recommendations from the menu?

Find a place that serves alcohol in AA. There is a 0% chance it wont be filled with "like-minded fanatics". Have fun, I took one of my daughters Saturday, and as you can imagine it's a memory that will last a lifetime. Here's to hoping your weekend is the same.

Brown jug if you can get there by noon

I agree on Frasers or Pretzel bell. Both have a good crowd. Can't go wrong with either.

Grizzly Peak is usually my go-to.

random question on CFP - how are the semifinal game matchups decided. if Michigan beats Iowa, we all expect them to be in the 2-3 matchup, but will that be the game in Arlington or Miami? Does the top seed pick?
November 29th, 2021 at 7:13 PM ^
Top seed picks. I would guess a #1 Georgia or Alabama would choose Miami.

(1969 was 52 years ago. not 53, but) that was beautiful. So happy for them. A great day for Michigan and all who love Michigan.

Since my son is going up to Indy for the game, I was thinking about driving up to Ann Arbor from Kentucky to watch it with other Michigan fans and not just alone.
