Wednesday Night Sports Booze Miscellanea Thread
So it's another snowbound night in Green Bay.
Original Six CHI-DET matchup on NBCSN right now (this is Mike Tirico's hockey announcing debut--curious to see how he does).
UNC-DUKE on the worldwide leader a little later. - Who you got?
Paper hotel cup filled with some Terrapin Hopsecutionner (ATL) - What you got?
Wife and kids better have that driveway completely shoveled before I get home.

Oh, and I forgot to ask? What does everyone think of the refurbished Michigan Union?

February 20th, 2019 at 8:04 PM ^
Huh. Doesn't strike me as inspired.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:08 PM ^
My Grandfather’s job in the Union was to make toast. That place doesn’t even look like it will have a toaster let alone an employee who’s sole job is to make toast. I guess in 84 years things can change. He would probably be in favor of the upgrades.

Can't believe they took out that pool hall. God, those tables were beautiful. I HATE THAT. Fuck their renovation.
February 20th, 2019 at 9:59 PM ^
This feels like the "Halo" debacle all over again. This looks like a lot of the house flips I see in the historic neighborhoods here in Detroit: Classic, turn of the century homes that have the look and feel of a Home Depot.
February 20th, 2019 at 7:50 PM ^
Duke by 25.
I think Duke makes a huge statement tonight.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:16 PM ^
25 is absurd. Hopefully UNC wins, though. Look better for UM’s résumé.
February 20th, 2019 at 9:06 PM ^
I don't think it benefits us if UNC beats Duke. Not at this point in the season.
Blue Bloods jump the 2nd tier teams. 25-10 got UNC a 2 seed last year
February 20th, 2019 at 8:52 PM ^
Yup. UNC sucks now.
February 20th, 2019 at 9:04 PM ^
February 21st, 2019 at 1:12 AM ^
I wasn't. Hope that helps.
February 20th, 2019 at 7:51 PM ^
I went with a 3 Floyds Zombie Dust.
February 20th, 2019 at 7:52 PM ^
Water. Cold bug going around the Kimble residence.
February 20th, 2019 at 7:53 PM ^
Rutgers....
February 20th, 2019 at 7:54 PM ^
Sparty is locked in a dogfight with Rutger as the Scarlet Knights try and earn their S back. Pretty good game, I'd say.
February 20th, 2019 at 7:56 PM ^
MSU's McPoyle is the most most annoying try-hard in the league.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:24 PM ^
Good. I’m not the only one that is annoyed by him?
February 20th, 2019 at 7:59 PM ^
White Russians with homemade coffee liqueur.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:02 PM ^
Liqueur? I hardly know her!
February 20th, 2019 at 8:25 PM ^
Liqueur in the front, poker in the rear!
February 20th, 2019 at 8:59 PM ^
That's gold. I'm stealing that one
February 20th, 2019 at 10:04 PM ^
It’s an old Big Johnson shirt. Always wanted one by my mom just told me it was too crass.
February 20th, 2019 at 10:43 PM ^
My grandma took me and my brother shopping and let us pick out our own Christmas gifts when we were 12&14. My parents weren’t happy when we unwrapped Big Johnson shirts from grandma on Christmas morning
February 20th, 2019 at 8:02 PM ^
It seems like MSU starts really slowly and then ends well.
If we start hot, we could just bury them in the first half and then cruise
February 20th, 2019 at 8:28 PM ^
Part of that is the teams they've done it against. OSU and Rutgers have struggled to close games and score down the stretch. Both teams jumped on MSU early, but folded late when MSU started on a little run.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:39 PM ^
They did it at Iowa and nearly did it against Purdue too. The 12:00-4:00 mark in the 2nd half seems to be where they do a lot of damage, so I'm sure Beilein will have the boys ready
February 20th, 2019 at 8:42 PM ^
I follow the scores on my phone then turn on the game when I think a team has a good shot at beating MSU in the 2nd half. I've turned them on multiple times where they went on some 24-4 run or something like that.
They key on Sunday is to bury them in the first, then play sound basketball the rest of the game. Asking for a lights out offensive performance is probably too much to ask because we haven't really had any in a couple months. So if we get an explosive start, go up 25-10 or something, then play great D and sound O, we should win by 8+
February 20th, 2019 at 8:03 PM ^
Knob Creek Rye and Dogfish Palo Santo Marron.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:03 PM ^
I got the scarlet knight
Also I’m definitely biased, but I think Tirico is a natural.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:06 PM ^
tirico is an AA guy, big maize and blue fan. he is very good at his job.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:35 PM ^
His play by play is good, but his goal scoring call needs improvement.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:04 PM ^
C'mon Rutger!!!
And it's up to 10 pt lead now. Goshdarnit.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:05 PM ^
putin, sorry you are stuck on the road away from home.
looking at box scores, rutgers was up at half but has collapsed in the second. go rutger, go.
wings tied at 1 with chicago. LGRW.
duke over unc. big.
hoping northwestern beats ohio. tip off @ 8:30.
no booze. water.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:07 PM ^
Rutgers scored the first four points of the second half to take a 36-25 lead.
Things have gone less well since. MSU is on an extended 28-7 run since.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:18 PM ^
don't just sit there j, do something!
February 20th, 2019 at 8:28 PM ^
Seems to be a common theme for msu. They start slow and go on a huge run at some point. If M has a decent offensive performance I think they take the game Sunday somewhat comfortably. I have confidence the defense will show up
February 20th, 2019 at 8:06 PM ^
Ridiculously sweet sauvignon blanc that the manager at Trader Joe's recommended; will never ask him again.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:55 PM ^
Use it for cooking. Sweet wines are great in a red sauce.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:07 PM ^
Deep Eddy Ruby Red on the rocks with a lime wedge
February 20th, 2019 at 8:17 PM ^
had to google that 'deep eddy'.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:25 PM ^
Not the same to a trout fisherman Lol.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:29 PM ^
indeed.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:31 PM ^
Deep Eddy Ruby Red (grapefruit) is very tasty. Somewhat like a cosmo without all the work.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:07 PM ^
247 re-ranked Michigan's 2020 QB commit. JD Johnson was moved up more than 250 spots and is now a 4* to them.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:08 PM ^
You forgot the ole timey big east battle G-town v Nova. G-town currently taking it to Nova.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:17 PM ^
Yeah, it's not your father's Big East anymore.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:13 PM ^
Rutgers is not play smart.
February 20th, 2019 at 8:26 PM ^
They should lose their S for this performance
February 20th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
chilling with Merlin. have a little Tahoe OG.
