First of all, if you're planning on watching the SU-Butler game from the comfort of your own home, make sure CBS is actually going to broadcast the game in your area. Despite the fact that the game will be played in the Western half of the US, none of us are actually allowed to watch it.
So like many, it's off to the local watering hole. The usual list, along with some newbies, have been added below. If you know of anything that still needs to be added, let me know. And if you show up at one of these places to find it empty or, worse, full of Butler fans*, let me know as well.
*trick, everyone knows there's no such thing.

Let me get this straight
The Salt Lake City game isn’t going to be shown in Utah? Nice work, CBS.

Connecticut
The Connecticut alumni club is doing a gamewatch at Archie Moore’s in South Norwalk. Short walk from the train station and easy on/off 95.
Plus, Archie wings.
Or you can come to my house and watch the game with me.*
*Don’t come to my house unless you want to fold my laundry, too.
I've seen what you do in your house
and would advise against that.

Let's go to the scales
Downside: My house is a den of ridiculousness.
Upside: Potential for co-starring in a video with me.
Downside: I’ll be there.
Upside: You could be Internet famous!
Seems to be a wash to me.

Wait
Because I live in Virginia they think I want to see fucking West Virginia? You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.
How reliable has the CBS online viewing been? Is it about the same as ESPN 360? If so, I can live with that.
better than 360, the cbs feeds are a second quicker than tv
not that 1 – 2 seconds makes that much of a diff

Be warned
I’m pretty sure Sidebar is a Georgetown bar – could be a trap!

Nice to see Orange Nation representing from TX…and not the burnt kind.

That's right...
I lived in Syracuse my whole life and then once I graduated college I moved to midland for a job in sports broadcasting…needless to say, I didn’t expect to be in midland but I’m glad there are still some true Orange fans in the lone star state…
and yes, I hate burnt orange

You should
watch the game at Woofers and Tweeters. Ok just kidding. What sports broadcasting are you doing there? Jackalopes? Roughriders?
Without Gerry McNamara we wouldn't have won 10 f-- games, not 10

wow I'm impressed with your knowledge of West Texas sports
I’m actually the weekend sports anchor for NewsWest 9. So yea I cover all those teams in the area…plus all the hs madness for football and beyond
and watching the game at woofers and tweeters would be possibly the worst idea ever haha, how do you know so much about midland/odessa sports if you don’t mind me asking?

I worked
for the RockHounds for 3 years. So you probably know Greg Bergman. Best to avoid him after the KU loss over the weekend.

Wow that is really funny that you worked with Bergs
I have gotten to know Greg pretty well over the last couple of months here and I have also learned his relationship with KU bball. Are you still in the baseball industry?

Am I the only BInghamton/Southern Tier Alum on here?
God we need a Binghamton Alumni assoc that actually does something.
They threw a freshman picnic 10 years ago, that’s all I’ve heard from them.
The 'Cuse is in tha house, oh my God oh my God.
Oh i"m not going out for this one if I can watch at home.
These big games force me to get a fetal with my cuse snuggie on the couch. Limited human interaction.
I haven’t been the same since ‘05. Was with a big group of friends who didn’t understand my level of passion and love for the ’Cuse. Needless to say they were a little scared of the way I reacted to the upset.
It’s left an emotional wound that is gonna take several years to heal.
The 'Cuse is in tha house, oh my God oh my God.
We all understand.
Glad you feel comfortable opening up to us. Now it’s time to start the healing process.
Hope i see a Big Head Boeheim in the stands
GO ORANGE!!!

Also, I make a motion that every Tully's location be posted on future "watch" posts
by default.

Also, not only do I get our game here I also get the Cornell game. Tonight is set. Unless we lose. Then I might do something ill-advised.
Cape Town, South Africa
Stones on Long St. Lets Goooooooo!
For reals?
What time of the day is the game on?
Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician - The Syracuse blog that cares.
DC
This is gross, just bc we are technically closer to WV they think we want to watch those hillbillies? I guarantee if you polled DC/NoVA/MD they overwhelmingly would want to see the Cuse. With that said… DC options all look solid, any DC area fans going to or recommend one over the others?
I was going to make the same comment, attempting to speak to future broadcasting execs.
Make a note of it, folks!
As for bars, I don’t like Rhino, and I watched the decimation of Syracuse in last year’s Sweet 16 at Sign of the Whale, so that is out too. I have nothing bad to say about the other two bars, but not sure about the Syracuse scene (in fact, I think the Pour House was at one point a Michigan alum bar).
i'll be at sign of the whale
in two years, i’ve never seen us lose there (knock on wood). plus their cheeseburgers are good
i was watching last year’s sweet sixteen game in a luxury box in the Verizon Center at the Capitals game. NEVER AGAIN. i hate hockey anyway.
Have to work, can't DVR the game
Because they’re showing the WVU game here in San Diego.
On the plus side, I live in San Diego.
On the face of it....
…that’s a pretty obnoxious comment, until I remembered how beautiful San Diego was, and how the weather there is borderline perfect.
Damn you!

And I was living in Rochester before I came out here...
… so it seemed even better than it really is.
Still, I asked if I could take the afternoon off
The project lead didn’t for it, though.
But
You did the right thing by asking.

i currently reside about 3 minutes from Butler and i can tell you that the people of indianapolis are pumped for this one. Very much a Hickory High/Hoosiers feel.
However ive been to 4-5 of their games and can say with confidence that they have no chance tonight against the Cuse. Their limited athletically in what they can do, especially scoring. Wes Johnson, Jackson and Joseph should be able to control the glass, and we should be able to pile up the points with ease.
I guess any team can get hot from 3 agaisnt the 2-3 zone (which is why Pullen and Clemente scare me from K-State) and Butler is no exception, but i really think the CUse is unlike Butler has seen during their 22 game win streak in the Horizon league. Its a BIG difference.
Ill probably go to a bar and it will probably be packed with Bulldog fans (bandwagoners mostly, but who follows mid-majors) I will lay low
I know I've asked before
But no Sacto people here right?
Naturally I’m going to miss the first half due to work anyways.
Without Gerry McNamara we wouldn't have won 10 f-- games, not 10
a lot of people on this blog seem to have babies
just putting that out there. they’re cute, but i hope there isn’t “something in the water” here, because i really cannot have a child at this point in my life…
Take THAT Big 10
Syracuse v Butler is half the country.
