“We were losing a bunch of one-goal games, and now we’re able to pull these games out,” Hunwick said. “It’s huge in the second half to know you can play in games like that.”

"I'm a big fan of (Robinson's) game in general. He's got a big, strong athletic body, he rebounds, he shoots well off the catch, and I think he'll also be a really good defender. He's a guy who I think has the potential to play in the NBA one day."
watch the end of year all conference teams ignore Hunwick. I give it 50-50.

"I grew up in communism until I was three and a half years old, lived through a revolution, while bullets were flying through our apartment on Christmas Eve," Mesko, now 25, told reporters in Indianapolis, which is hosting the NFL's showpiece for the first time.
They run their mouth, and then when they meet up with the belly of the beast -- I call myself that because I am -- then they want run away. When it comes to reality, they want to run away."

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.
RE: Richmond, VA (whoever mapped it if you're out there...)
Cool. Thanks. I might check
Cool. Thanks. I might check it out in the coming weeks. Smoke won't matter for a couple of hours...

Downtown
I'm surprised that we'd have to share with anyone, given the number of bars in the Fan/downtown... Perhaps worth revisiting?
Seattle is no longer the
Seattle is no longer the Rocksport, it is now Buckley in Belltown http://www.buckleysseattle.com/btmainpage.htm Good spot, has been packed every game this year.
Thanks, although Buckley's is
Thanks, although Buckley's is already on there. Is Rocksport not doing Michigan football at all anymore?
oops didnt zoom in enough
oops didnt zoom in enough only saw rocksport. I havent been there since we switched locations but i heard we changed locations due to construction at Rocksport, so i dont believe they hold official U of M viewing...
buckleys is a better location, right downtown, much better turnouts, plus they have 5 dollar pitchers for M fans for all early games...
Not just Buckley
Seattle UM Club has two official spots for game watching, Buckley in downtown Seattle and Tap House in Bellevue for eastside folks (http://www.taphousegrill.com/).
Tap House is great because it has plenty of parking and it is very family friendly, which Buckleys is not.

East Lansing?
Is there such a thing as a UM friendly bar in East Lansing? I haven't found one yet, but I'd like to. I'm usually left to a small muted TV in the corner while the other 40 TVs at Reno's show Sparty.
The Roadhouse Pub will have
The Roadhouse Pub will have the M game on if a few of us are up there for it.
Add Toronto
In Toronto, it's the DETROIT EATERY @ 389 Danforth for hard-core M fans. http://www.thestar.com/News/GTA/article/438286
Exit the east/west subway line @ Chester and cross to the south side of Danforth. Un-missable.
M fans here for a getaway weekend tend to gather @ Jack Astor's, corner of University & Front. The women can shop the Eaton Center while the guys watch the game and drink - everybody's happy.

Milwaukee bars
It might be clearer to list Oakcrest Tavern as being in Milwaukee, just because I'm not sure everyone will know that Shorewood is right outside MKE.
Also, it's my understanding that Oakcrest Tavern prefers not to do night games, and so for Iowa (and possibly future night games), the alumni club went to Fanatics in the 3rd Ward (http://theofficialfanatics.com/main_page.html).
Good call on the Milwaukee thing - updated.
Is there a regular UM gathering at Fanatics, or was this specially arranged for the Iowa game?
Fanatics
AFAIK it's special for night games only. If we end up playing more night games this year (Wisky?) then I will let you know.

Charleston, SC
I'll be in Charleston tomorrow during PSU and there's no way that map can be right. The bar listed there is the unofficial bar for WVU fans to watch games. Something tells me that's not Michigan friendly?
Dunno...
I'm not sure, that came off of Bouje's spreadsheet... maybe somebody got it confused with Mad River in Chicago, which is a UM bar?
Mad River in Charleston
The Low Country Wolverine Club does in fact meet at Mad River. From what I have been told, it has been a West Virginia spot in the past but no longer.

South Florida location
Hey there, we put together a pretty good group from week to week at Duffy's in North Palm Beach, FL which is located off of US-1 and PGA Boulevard. North Palm is just north of West Palm Beach. Hope to see some new Michigan friendly faces! The address is 11588 US Highway #1, North Palm Beach, FL, 33408
and you can find more information at www.duffysmvp.com. They have great drink and food specials and a great staff too!
Thank you thank you thank

There ought to be a good group, with all of the Palm Beach/Broward County kids playing for U of M these days (Odoms, D-Rob, Gibbons, okay there's like fifty of them).
I'll try to make it sometime soon.

Highly doubt this is going to get answered, but hopefully someone comes across it. Do you know where they're meeting this year? Or anywhere for a good UM crowd in the orlando area? I just relocated here a couple months ago and need somewhere to catch the game tomorrow night.
If you happen to come back to
If you happen to come back to this, the central Florida group still watches the games at Gator's Dockside in Dr. Phillips.
We have a group of ~10 people
We have a group of ~10 people (most in their 20s) who watch games at Grafitti Junktion in Thornton Park. We'll be there for the Sparty game. Feel free to join us.
Albuquerque
There's a Fox and Hound in Albuquerque that includes space for UM fans/alums. On a day like this coming Saturday, you usually have to walk through a bunch of OSU fans in another room, which can be a not so great experience. But at least a crew gets together to watch games here - 4301 The Lane @ 25 NE (this is really at Jefferson and The Lane, about three blocks NW of the I-25/Jefferson exit) Albuquerque, NM 87109 - 505-344-9430.
Gasp. Hold breath. Turn Blue!
Albuquerque - Howie's Sports Page
Watched many Michigan games in there. Good all around sports bar. Has numerous TVs and can always find the game.

San Francisco
(GO) Blue Light, Bayside (to a far lesser extent), and Underdogs. There is also this place in the lower Haight, across from Toronado, that flies a Michigan flag. I asked the bartender about it last time I was in there, and she said some U-M fans asked that it be put up to balance out the ND flag, and because a lot of them watch games there; I have never been there to double check. Kezar will usually have a smattering of Michigan fans (more of a Redwings bar). The problem with this town is that, unless it's a special event (such as this year's ND game), it is almost always a mixed crowd.
Missing Ann Arbor
Kezar is pretty pro-Michigan, bar manager bridgit is a UM grad.
True there are lots of fans of other teams there, but there are always M fans and they will always put the game on. Good food, probably the best bloody mary on the city and lots of good beers. Also a great place to catch international sports, Euro soccer, rugby, etc. if you are into that. Definitely right about the Red Wings though, they put togther a bus/beer trip for the Sharks games that includes a suite and a LOT of beer and a buffet at the game. I'm not really a Wings fan, but i still had a blast.
Bar across from Toronado is
Bar across from Toronado is Mad Dog in the Fog. Can't vouch for U-M cred, but they do have a lot of TV's

Does anyone happen to know a location in Las Vegas?
Did you ever happen to find a Vegas bar?
Thanks,

There's Meatheads at Charleston/Decatur. The bar is disgusting though...I might have to go there for the State game on Saturday, but I'm tempted to stay home and watch it. Las Vegas definitely needs a better Michigan bar.

Look it up. Secret Vegas gem.
Revision - RockIt Chicago
The RockIt you have linked on the map is not the one that hosts UMich games. The one uptown by Wrigley Field is the right one. It's definitely a different atmosphere than the downtown location - a pretty good sportsbar on gameday. Duffy's is definitely the #1 place for a rowdy atmosphere, but this is a good place for fans that actually want to sit and watch the game.
The second floor of Rockit in
The second floor of Rockit in River North most certainly hosts Michigan Football games. I have no clue about basketball. I drank my way through both the PSU and OSU games at that place.
I put up a tough front, but deep down I just want to be held.
Nashville...
I'm a transplant living in Nashville, TN.
Half of this city is comprised of bars - surely there is at least one Michigan-friendly establishment!
I've been bar-hopping down Broadway, but to no avail. Volunteer fans, Alabama fans, and (strangely) Florida fans as far as the eye can see; no love for any Big 10 teams. It's an SEC circle-jerk down here.

New to the Phoenix Area....
Two Buffalo Wild Wings opened up in Gilbert, Arizona. One is a Michigan Bar....The other is a gay bar.
Let me know which one is the UM bar
and I'll put it on the list. I could take a chance and guess, but it would be like setting up a reaaally awkward game of Russian roulette.
McQueen and Elliot is the Michigan Bar
