I bet they'd be showing the game on campus at whatever the CoHo has become or maybe the Axe and Palm, right?

Yes there is an eatery at Tressider that serves alcohol, burgers, burritos, and other things.  The place also has 7-10 TV monitors.  One of the rooms has four TVs positioned so that you can watch 4 sporting events at once.  The crowd was rather respectful when I checked things out one afternoon before one of our evening games.  Can't go wrong watching on campus, IMO.

Though it might really be best to buy a holiday season HDTV.  40" TVs are now available down at $300, and a full 4 hours at a sports bar could push $100.  With the TV you'd get the benefit of a gift to family members and not spend too much more.  Just sayin'.

I like the campus option since the wife and kids haven't been there yet and my daughter would much rather bowl (if the lanes are still there) than listen to us cheer and groan.  However, The Buck Cardinal Club, the O, and Rudy's are good options.  I will probably stay close to home as in no way do I want to turn the ignition over with some suds in me.

So I gave the folks a call and asked them about their TV.  Apparently they did recently upgrade to a mid-size flat screen so they weren't interested in a replacement-Dad asked for an iPad instead  ::).  Additionally, I am not fond of purchasing a television for the "big game" as I see it as a bit of a curse, but that's another story.  If the consensus is to hang at the homestead then I will flow accordingly, but I do enjoy the atmosphere and banter of an establishment.

Incredible the prices on flat panel screens these days-I have a mental image of Chinese factories resembling what the Once-ler built for his Thneeds chugging out an unending line of cheap tubes amongst blanketing smog.
