sioux7>5 Posted March 11, 2008 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
UMDDogz Posted March 11, 2008 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
Bob in Wisconsin Posted March 11, 2008 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 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
Runninwiththedogs Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 If RWD is goin I might just hitch along with her, depending on how the hangover is doing... !@#$ that. I always !@#$ing drive. YOU can drive. Quote
UMDDogz Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 !@#$ that. I always !@#$ing drive. YOU can drive. NOOOOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo!!! Quote

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
Goon Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Is this Hoggsbreath just an adult place or can kids in the 10-13 age group go too? Quote
UMDDogz Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Is this Hoggsbreath just an adult place or can kids in the 10-13 age group go too? I think this has been well covered...PG13 rating for tHogg. Parental guidance suggested for children under 13. Quote
Goon Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 I think this has been well covered...PG13 rating for tHogg. Parental guidance suggested for children under 13. Is that based on language ? Quote
Wreckincrew Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Is that based on language ? And some partial nudity once MM gets going! Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 12, 2008 Author 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. Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 12, 2008 Author Posted March 12, 2008 I think this has been well covered...PG13 rating for tHogg. Parental guidance suggested for children under 13. PG13 until RWtD gets a few beers in her. The R rating comes out pretty quickly after that! Quote

The people we are going with are going to have their kids along so that becomes an option. Quote
dj_hoime Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Me and 5 others might be in. ill bring it up to them. Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 12, 2008 Author 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. Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 15, 2008 Author Posted March 15, 2008 We're one game away from the Sioux making a trip to St Paul. A win tonight and siouxsports.com fans need to start planning on Saturday morning brunch! Quote
Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 We're one game away from the Sioux making a trip to St Paul. A win tonight and siouxsports.com fans need to start planning on Saturday morning brunch! Finally, something I agree with you Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 15, 2008 Author Posted March 15, 2008 Finally, something I agree with you Ouch! I can disagree with someone on EVERYTHING else, but if they're wearing a Sioux jersey, we will always have something to talk about. Quote
Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Ouch! I can disagree with someone on EVERYTHING else, but if they're wearing a Sioux jersey, we will always have something to talk about. Oh true that... But I now have one less Sioux jersey to be seen in... Oh well GO SIOUX! Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 15, 2008 Author Posted March 15, 2008 Oh true that... But I now have one less Sioux jersey to be seen in... Oh well GO SIOUX! Lost it at the Sigma Chi house last night? Quote
Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Lost it at the Sigma Chi house last night? Ha no I don't go to frats anymore, especially not that one ha Gave my white one to a friend since she didn't have any Sioux jerseys Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 15, 2008 Author Posted March 15, 2008 Ha no I don't go to frats anymore, especially not that one ha Gave my white one to a friend since she didn't have any Sioux jerseys I'm just teasin' ya. I was in a "frat," too, back in the day. I have fond memories of my gelled-up spiky mullet. Quote
Siouxmama Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 I'm just teasin' ya. I was in a "frat," too, back in the day. I have fond memories of my gelled-up spiky mullet. I think I'd pay to see that! Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 15, 2008 Author Posted March 15, 2008 I think I'd pay to see that! You could, but you actually don't have to...stop by the KE house and ask to see the 1990, 1991, and 1992 composite photographs. Quote
