Christie's Tomorrow for Game!

[DiamondM]

Do not go to Humperdink's tomorrow. They did not get the game. Of course, they didn't bother to tell us that until all 15-20 of the SMU people there for the game ordered, eaten, and it was half time. They kept stringing us along telling us it was a satellite problem.

SOOOO... about 11 of us trekked down to Christie's in Uptown, where they put us up on their big screen and turned sound on.

The manager assured me that the game will be on tomorrow. The catch is that it is up against the UT game (possibly against TTech) so it will probably not be on the main big screen, and we probably won't get sound. However, it's all about numbers. If there are 20 of us (and there were 11 today for the 2nd half) they may put us on the other big screen and cover a couple of pool tables for us to gather round.

It's more fun when we watch together, and the more people we have, the more likely we are to get one of the other big screens. But get there early to stake out an SMU area. I'll try to be there about 5:30 since I work down the street.

Go Mustangs!!

They did the same thing to me at a sports bar in nashville. Finally at halftime I headed home and watched the game on the webcast - which was cool. Be good to have a large group at Christie's tomorrow. Wish I could be there. Don't think I have been to a big SMU watching party since we played Tulsa several years ago when we had about 30 people at Humperdinks.

I was over at Christy's as well and it was a decent showing. It is a great place to watch a game...Everyone come out tomorrow!

The MAT also told us that they will be showing the game tomorrow evening.

Just got back from ESPN Zone in NY, watching the Mustangs, in the midst of 150 or so screaming St. Johns fans. St. Johns was playing, unfortunately, at the same time, and it was a helluva game (they lost). When I arrived, I was informed that SMU would be shown on only one of the TINIEST screens that they have, one of approximately 100 in the place (no exaggeration). There were actually more screens showing ESPN CLASSIC than the SMU-Boise game! We finally got a seat in front of the game, and we STILL could barely see, cause it was so small. At ESPN Zone for cryin out loud!

I am thrilled we won, even though it was not a banner outing. We need better perimeter defense!!!!! DEFENSE GOD*****IT!!!! I was worried when that 3 pt. thing was going to rear its ugly head again.

Anyhoo, let's do a little WORK tomorrow against Nevada, and hit Tulsa HARD the next day.

S-M-U spells SMU!!!

I tried to watch a Stars vs. Colorado hockey playoff game 7 at ESPN Zone...of course the Knicks were playing and we got 1 TV at the bar standing up.

ESPN ZONE in NY is NY Zone...not a tourist place like they make you think...ridiculous.

ESPN Zone in Times Square is a JOKE. A few months ago we stopped in to see the Cowboys play AZ, and they herded us into a waiting area with about 30 or 40 other cowboys fans (where we couldn't see the game)... about 10 minutes into the game they began to seat us... at 30 bucks a person minimum... then we found out that the feed they had wouldn't allow them to show the cowboys game until the game before it (which was in overtime) ended... so instead of missing another 30 mins, we left, totally PO'ed.

Of course, there are NO other sports bars within 30 blocks of times square. We took a bus and a cab all the way up to somewhere around 79th, and found a cool little dive about the size of humperdinks on greenville, with about 300 people packed into it... and about 100 televisions showing every game. I only caught the second half of a miserable Cowboys loss that proved to be the end of the Q-Car era.

From SMUMUSTANGS.COM:

The game will be broadcasted live at Two-Rows restaurant on Greenville Ave. in Dallas.

Christies is on MCKinney. From woodall Roger take right on pearl and a right on McKinney. About two or three miles on the left.
I do not know the cross street.

Good food menu too.

[PonyTime]

It is on McKinney - just south of where McKinney turns into a one way street. From SMU (or Central) you need to get off on Hall or Lemon and go south on Cole to get to McKinney going South.

It is between Breadwinners and Chipolte on the West side of McKinney - parking is tricky - but there is supposedly parking in the back.

Whatasteve and I wound up at McKinney Avenue Tavern after ditching Hump's and got to watch the second half on a big screen there. It is located on McKinney Avenue close to Christie's at the intersection of McKinney Ave. and Allen. If Christie's fills up with too many tea sips, you might want to try this place.
