BOSTON'S PIZZA IT IS.

1713 Cross Roads Dr., Grapevine, TX 76051

They are blocking off the upstairs for us. I told them 20-40 people (based on last year's turnout), so show up, people!!

They actually added the package that includes the Big Ten Network just for us (she did make me a little nervous when she said her cable provider told her they didn't know what game would be on the BTN, but I told her we are certain it is UNT vs Indiana. right... RIGHT!?!?). I thought that was quite nice, as neither Pluckers or JR Grill had the BTN.

We didn't get any specials just for us, but they do have half off appitizers all day and Saturday drinks specials.

Be there, mid city folk!!!!

LIST OF SPECIALS:

Half off Appitizers (except team platter, DBL wings and skewers)

$3 domestics

$4 Imports

$3 well drinks

$4.25 Long Island Ice Teas

$3.75 Margaritas

I should make this although I'm a little nervous about this conversation you had with the lady. Last year the manager at Hooter's said the same thing about the Tulane game.. Told everyone up & down that he would order the channel and be showing the game... 10 minutes after kickoff & still trying on the phone , he says he can't get it.... Apparently it was a corporate thing

I will double check back with her tomorrow and make sure they are physically receiving the channel. She originally told me she would have to check with her GM, then called back and said that they had ordered the channel, which is when she told me about their satellite service provider saying they weren't sure what game was on the Big Ten Channel. She also followed up with an email with the drink and food specials enclosed.

I'll double check with her tomorrow to be absolutely certain that they physically have the channel at the moment I am speaking with her.

You have trust issues...

It's ok, so do I. ;-)

Thanks for the heads up.

Yes...I was caught up in this Hooter's hype...missed the first part of the game, until I could find someplace else to watch the game...needless to say, Hooters will never get my business in the future.....I will need to know for sure this deal at Bostons will not be a repeat of Hooter's deal last year, otherwise...off to ESSC...a great venue anyway you cut it.

That happened to me for the Southern Miss game last year for me too. My friend and I called up Buffalo Wild Wings at Loop 288 in Denton and asked if they were showing the game. They told us yes. So we went there to watch. Long story short, a bunch of tables with NT fans eating/drinking wings/beer were missing the first quarter waiting on it to show up on the screen. The manager comes out after talking on the phone with the cable provider and starts apologizing to everyone and saying they can't show the game. Some fans who didn't order their food left and went to Rudy's.

I'm sensing a pattern...

Megan from Boston Pizza has assured me that she has turned their TVs on the Big Ten Network and that she has seen it being broadcast in her establishment.

As long as we are sure the game is on this channel and there is no local blackout, we are golden.

I'll be there with at least +1

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      OT, but how does this percentage still so high? Graduating college has been pushed so freaking hard, going back to the Boomers, that you would think this number would be much less than 20%. 20+ years ago, when I was finishing HS, it was the de-facto, this-is-just-what-you-do endeavor. And I was not even a Boomer. So how are we still seeing so many first gen college graduates?

      New commit Creighton transfer post Brock Vice

      This is an interesting pickup for us. This guy doesn’t conform to the typical transfer profile that we should be focusing on: highly productive player at a low-major/D2 or a formerly productive player at high-major/mid-major who needs a change of scenery. Brock Vice has played ZERO real college basketball. But finding a player who can be productive for us at the center position is going to take some creativity. Need to replace Tylor Perry or Jason Edwards? Not fun, but there are LOTS of fast young men 5’9 or taller who can dribble and shoot that the marketplace has undervalued. Ross Hodge can take his pick. There just aren’t very many 18-24 year-old humans who are 6’9 or taller. And the marketplace places a very high price on those who are that tall AND possess any degree of athleticism or basketball skill. Which brings us back to Brock Vice, who redshirted on a VERY good Creighton team that finished 25-10 last season (second-place in the Big East). The starting center on that team was Ryan Kalkbrenner, a 7’1 monster who averaged 17 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocked shots a game. His backup also put up good numbers in very limited minutes. So Vice hasn’t been a productive college player yet, but atleast he has a good excuse. With both players in front of him on the depth chart eligible to come back to Creighton next season, Vice needs a change of scenery to get his oversized sneakers on the court. He’s 6-10. Can rebound AND shoot. Was an outstanding high school and AAU basketball player. And has enough meat on his bones and athleticism to have been a standout high school football player. This is exactly the kind of kid that Ross should be landing. We did not have a player like this guy on our team last season and it hurt us all year. Welcome to Denton!

      Why would a big brand like this invest so heavily in one school? College sports are so tribal and FedEx wants to serve everyone. Now I am LESS likely to use FedEx.
