I thought I'd let those of you that come out to the Collin County football watching parties know that Fairview Down Under has closed its doors for good. Therefore, I'll be looking for a new place to host this year. I'm open to suggestions. Here are the preferences:

1. Located in Collin County

2. Large area for viewing games

3. No cost or commitment to reserve the area

4. High speed free wireless internet (for streamed games)

5. Prefer table service

6. Prefer some ties to UNT

7. Carry sports packages, including package with Fox College Sports

8. Willing to broadcast game over restaurant audio system

9. Serve alcohol

10. Capability to patch in a laptop for streamed games

Some places I'm considering:

- Sauced Texas Kitchen

- Buffalo Wild Wings

- The Allen Wickers Sports Pub & Grill

Let me know your thoughts...

How about the Rudy's on the tollway ?

Looking at going back to Rudy's is a good idea. The one in Allen changed management and then told me that they'd have to start charging me to hold the room. I've done a basketball watching party before at the location you suggested. I'm assuming that's a reference to the Frisco location.

Buffalo Wild Wings in Frisco would probably do it. There is a lot of competition around there.

bww didn't even show their own bowl with sound at their restaurants due to the mixed martial arts thingy going on...

go elsewhere...good luck...i have no idea of places in your area...

I'm also leery of Buffalo Wild Wings. I talked to them in July about possibly hosting an event there and am still waiting to hear back. Maybe their proximity to UNT might help you out, but if they're anything like the one out here, it's a waste of effort.

Wow, already? Why did they close?

I think location was their biggest problem. It couldn't be seen from the main road and the shopping center limits the signage. That place seemed to do pretty well in the evenings when they had live music, but it was usually relatively dead for lunch and dinner.

The place was a bit of a long shot in the first place. The owners took it over as part of a deal with the previous owners who owed the latest owners money.

I've got to add, the menu and prices didn't help any.

      I think Floyd is going to be solid at the point. Our backcourt is deep with good shooters. Massey has me really intrigued as he hit the glass and appears to have some hops to him. I think I expected more out of Wright, thinking he was our prized pick up out of the portal. Lorient, even if Hodge says he is the most athletic player he has had during his time here, doesn’t really have a shot and doesn’t go up strong at the rim. I thought Sissoko looked tons better than last year. Better hands, couple of steals and solid play in the paint. He’s not going to be a double double player for us and that’s alright with the scorers around him. Stone still runs to hot. I think in his effort to be our energy/hustle player on defense, it hurts his offensive game. He rushes to shoot or pass and the same dribbling to the basket. How many breaks has he had where he didn’t finish? There is no rhythm to his offensive game and that kills him. He either has to contribute more on offense, or we need to give Cotton and Mason a shot. I don’t know much about the freshman Smith, but he needs to put in some weight and probably get up to the speed of the D1 game. Hope to see some of the youngsters tomorrow night.

      I'll be at The Pit tomorrow, but between my friend group we've got 8 tickets unable to be used. All lower level near the UNT bench - two solos, a pair, and a group of 4. If anyone needs tickets, let me know! Per my ticket rep a ticket for the men's game will also get you into the women's game at 5:30 if you can make it.
