For those of us who can't afford to travel to Arkansas - klake87 - 09-16-2014 03:42 PM
Where are people watching the game. Fattys will be hopping. Beer I assume(cubs playing at noon).
Any other good locations?

If my lady friend goes up to MKE, I might be down to watch the game somewhere, but probably won't drive to DeKalb for it.

I'll almost certainly be at Fatty's.

Eduardos in DeKalb will have the game on. Eduardos has the huge tv and also will have some drink specials.

In a fellow Huskie fan's living room. Last week, the game was on in my living room.

I'll be looking at my little 4" TV in the back room of the Grotto. The Grotto's snack bar will be stocked with hot dogs and all kinds of condiments.

Watch games? Who does that? You don't want to listen to Bill Baker?
Heretics.

My preference would be to watch on TV, cut the sound off, and listen to Bill. But the radio delay would drive me nuts. We certainly couldn't do it for the UNLV game with all the feed freezing and delays.

I get frustrated listening to Bill on the radio. He rattles off a whole bunch of stuff other than how far the ball carrier got, and I'm sitting there waiting to find out if he was thrown for a loss or got 10 yards and a first down.

Thank you! I know he bleeds Huskie Red, but for the love of gawd cut to the chase. Listening on the radio is frustrating enough!

I cant remember the last time Ive listened to Baker call football, but yes its very frustrating when he does that in basketball and doesn't make the call right away. Luckily I just use the background crowd noise to figure out what happened. It surprises me though, because you would expect someone not giving that full detail who had worked the TV side for a long time, not from someone who has been radio most of his career.

Watching at home as a family on the 55" HDTV. Hopefully not pacing & clutching at my heart!
