Almost; it was Mangino who said, "If I stand in this house, I'll divide it from its walls!"

Gotta have at least one small tv on KU in case they lose. :)

If I owned a WSU sports bar, I'd get on the microphone and announce to the shocker fans that I was switching the big screen to the KU game for the last 10 seconds of regulation so we can enjoy the loss.

Man, I like the way this guy thinks!

On a positive note, I tried out the Blarney Stone (in the old Larry Buds out east). If anything they were at the other extreme. Shocker sound was on for all the pregame stuff and was on all the big screens and almost all the small screens. KU game had a couple small TVs...it was nice.

Stopped by the Blarney Stone the day before the game and all I saw was the smaller tv's around the walls. Is the large screens you speak of a drop down type? Also the way the tables are set up in front by the north wall everyone ends up looking left or right to see a screen. So wound up going to Jerseys and reserving a table in the eating area. Good setup there because they have big screens on opposite walls.

TV Watch Parties

Dave & Wu, & whoever mentioned a year or two ago that the Emerson Biggins Manager was rude to WSU fans, he got fired for that within a week.

As for the idea of turning a Sports Bar TV to a KU game just before a WSU game is completed, this does remind me of a true story & that was exactly what happened. I once organized a TV Watch party for WSU Alumni at a Sports Bar in Tempe, AZ. I think the name of the place was McDuffy's & it was on the W side of the ASU campus. We moved here 11 yrs ago, so this was a couple of years before that. With the WSU game hanging in the balance, Fox Sports Midwest switched to a KU game with 30 sec's left in the WSU game. There were at least 30 WSU alumni in attendance there in Tempe at the time. Fortunately for me, I had coorddinated this event through both the WSU Alumni Association & the WSU AD who was Jim Schaus at the time. So, I happened to have Jim's cell phone number handy. I quickly called Jim and he told me that WSU had won the game & I was able to pass on the news to all the excited & irritated WSU fans. we were most unhappy with Fox Sports Midwest after that. Fortunately, I've never heard of them doing that since then.

For the record, I didn't have anything to do with the anti-WSU incident at E.B. a year or two ago, and don't have a single bad or good thing to say about E.B. I am just a jackwad that likes to have a quick laugh by posting anti-KU stuff whenever it's convenient.

Haven't been there since karaoke 4 or 5 years ago. Went with Lutz. That's back when we were still speaking.

I clicked on their facebook page and was reading their reviews. Some KSU fan was complaining the opposite way, that they wouldnt show the KU/KSU game on the big screen because WSU was on. LOL
