I just found out a few minutes ago that I'm going to be in McKinney during out game. Any suggestions on a place we could eat and watch that is also friendly for our three-year old son.

Thanks in advance!

 

I normally put together watching parties for away games, but in this case, I'll be at the SMU game.  (I'm going to the Rice game as well.)  I usually do them at Fuzzys in Allen as of late, but have done them at Rudy's in Allen quite a few times as well. 

The game will be on ESPN3, which is an Internet stream rather than something that can be picked up on dish or cable.  You could watch it on a laptop or on a tablet/phone using the Watch ESPN app.  If you want to get fancier, you could find a place with good WiFi that'll let you hook your laptop into an HDMI port on one of their TVs.  May be hard to pull off at this late date. 

All of this assumes you have an ID and password for a cable or dish account that gives access to ESPN3.

There's a nice little sports bar on El Dorado, by Orchid.  It just underwent a name change so I'm not sure what the new name is.  It's on the north side of the street, in the shopping center.

End Zone.  I think it was originally McKinney Tavern and the Jack's Pub and now End Zone.

      Would like to see an association with the MWC. This could give us some separation from the C-USA and MAC they can form their own group. Both could have playoffs and a championship.

      Best BBQ in each Texas college football town

      For everyone who says they love Bodacious in Longview, (as you should, it's great), try Country Tavern just outside of Kilgore next time. Maybe the best BBQ I've ever had.

      G5s Finally Getting Together......Talking About Their Future

      Let's say 12 teams. That's 11 games. What is going to produce more straight revenue before considering expenses? 11 bowl games with 22 G5 teams or 11 tournament games involving 12 G5 teams? I think the tournament. Instead of playin for 11 trophies, you are playing for one. Half the teams you see playing this Saturday are playing next Saturday and you start recognizing players and coaches and get more engaged. So I think replacing 11 bowl games with 12 game tournament is likely to produce more money while costing less to put on because the participants own the stadium, at least until the final, half the teams aren't traveling. The ones that travel are staying one or two days instead of four. You've got no need for a local ticket selling person in each bowl town, the home team does the hustling to sell tickets. Lower cost more drama. It's made for TV. I was looking at old AState schedules. 1975, 76, 77, 78, 79 we didn't play any traditional "P5" teams (had a game with Cincinnati in there). Looked at y'all and Memphis and USM and other than USM going Bama nearly every year, there just weren't many go to this place, get a check, go home games, most games against the power programs were depending on the school home/home, 2 for 1, 3 for 1, 4 for 1 deals. Oddly the "buy games" I found poking around (clicked a link by accident) was LSU bought a game against WAC member Utah and bought a home game against Pac-8 member Oregon State. When the money got crazy, selling a game to generate revenue became the norm, it just didn't used to be the norm and even an old fart like me had forgotten. The normal buy games you find in that era were things like Tulsa going to Arkansas every year or when A-State was playing in Memphis all the time, you hop on the bus day of the game, play and go home type deals. We may be heading that direction, not because we choose to live within our capacity to self-generate revenue but because TV is going to squeeze Big Ten and SEC for more conference games and more big non-conference games to get that next bump in money. If you get to the point they won't play, I like our chances outdrawing UFL, besides we pay better.
