The Silly Goose will have dollar PBR during the Memphis Tigers<\/a> vs. Maryland Terrapins<\/a> game this afternoon.\u00a0 Game starts at 2:20 PM CDT.\u00a0 I was equally divided on Saucer, Goose, and Bardog as possible watch locations, but I suppose dollar PBR will win the day for the Goose.<\/p>\n

I watched basketball at Bardog for a few hours yesterday afternoon with Air Traffic Mike and John D.\u00a0 They had the sound on for the Oklahoma State<\/a> vs. Tennessee<\/a> game, and it was quite an enjoyable place to watch the action.\u00a0 I’d never considered Bardog an NCAA watch spot before, but it’s on my list now.\u00a0 After the game, I felt it was my duty to text all the Tennessee fans in my phone’s Contacts and tell them that their team lost.\u00a0 Thank goodness we’re done looking at Bruce Pearl for another seven months.<\/p>\n

Air Traffic Mike: “Both the Great Pumpkin and Bruce Pearl come out in October.”<\/p>\n

Me: “Yeah, but how can you tell which is which?”<\/p>\n

After that, I went to the Saucer, where Ghost River was on hand to tap their keg of Wee Heavy.\u00a0 It was delicious, and was 8.5% alcohol by volume, odd because the Wee Heavy the Saucer normally carries (Belhaven) is 3.9%.\u00a0 I’ll have to get one of my beer-brewing friends to explain that variation to me.\u00a0 As I drank the beer, I thought to myself that it would go great with some salted-in-the-shell peanuts and Gus’s chicken.\u00a0 A couple of hours of NTN Poker at Calhoun’s wrapped up the evening.\u00a0 Watched off-duty Saucer bartender Marci cheer on her Arizona Wildcats<\/a> to an upset of Utah.\u00a0 Guess they proved that they belonged in the tournament after all.<\/p>\n

My bracket is still looking pretty good so far.\u00a0 I picked 25 of the 32 winners in the first round.\u00a0 I only picked two teams to go to the Sweet Sixteen (Utah and West Virginia) and one to go to the Elite Eight (West Virginia) that have already been knocked out.\u00a0 All of my Final Four (Louisville, Duke, Memphis, Oklahoma) are still intact.<\/p>\n

What’s going on tonight?\u00a0 It’s my last party night before the job starts and I’m hoping to stay out late.<\/p>\n

Time to take the laundry out of the dryer, then head to the Goose to get a good seat.\u00a0 Go Tigers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
