sioux7>5 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 OK, since I've been asked, I thought I would throw this out there and see if there was any interest in people meeting for brunch late Saturday morning (March 22nd) before the 2:00 pm WCHA 3rd place game. I know the first round of the playoffs hasn't been played yet, but figured I'd see if there was any interest... Without the added festivities of St Patrick's Day being held on Friday, perhaps a few more people would be interested in coming out on Saturday... Even if you're a Gopher fan, cmon out and meet some of the monikers from the board in person. It's a fun time and now the Hoggsbreath is smoke-free! Ok I might have to come and have some brunch and meet people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMDDogz Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 UMDDogz! I knew you were still alive! Still here! Just usually working on game nights... Final 5 weekend though...my calendar is clear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in Wisconsin Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 It's a bar/restaurant that's more restaurant during the day. They have a big-screen TV with NCAA basketball on upstairs and plenty of pool tables and NDH's favorite, dart boards, downstairs. In the past, we've done this on Saturday morning because Friday of the Final Five has usually been St Patrick's Day. Getting anyplace downtown is a madhouse. Hoggsbreath is located about 5 minutes north and 2 minutes west of downtown off of Highway 36 in Little Canada. I know the owners very well and they'd be happy to set up an area for us. Last year wasn't busy at all when we came, but it's still helpful to give them a possible head-count so they can be prepared. Cool. Just in case the kiddies are with. Wife is a little anal about having the kids in a bar. I'll be at both of friday's games with a couple firemen I work with (sconnie fans of course ), and I'll be making the 3 hr drive home after that 'cause one of them has to work, but there's a good chance of a return trip on Sat with the fam.

Bob in Wisconsin Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I wish. I have the co-rec state broomball tournament this weekend in Chaska so I'll have to resort to finding someone to text message me real-time scores. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone? Our first game? Friday night at 6:55 pm. Ugh... Who is your cell-phone provider? Many of them allow you to text message from their website. If this is the case with yours, I'll text you. I'll be watching the game from home anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way they can be prepared for us if we can get a rough idea of the number of people coming. What kind of start time are we talking? 10:30 am?? Last year was a blast, and this one is sounding like fun as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Is this Hoggsbreath just an adult place or can kids in the 10-13 age group go too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MafiaMan Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Is this Hoggsbreath just an adult place or can kids in the 10-13 age group go too? During the daytime, it's fine. They have a nice menu of burgers and stuff and the breakfast can't be beat. At 10:30-11:00 am, you avoid the bar crowd and it's a decent place. By the sounds of it, some other teenagers will be there and I mentioned before, I have no problem having MafiaMan Jr. in there for a bite to eat...and he's 6.

PG13 until RWtD gets a few beers in her. The R rating comes out pretty quickly after that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people we are going with are going to have their kids along so that becomes an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_hoime Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Me and 5 others might be in. ill bring it up to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 I think the easiest way to handle this is to simply wait until next Wednesday or Thursday, then people can finalize their plans and post if they will be joining the crowd. I will get an estimate and give the Hoggsbreath a call Thursday night or Friday morning and let them know the number of people who will be there.
