I’m seriously debating locking myself in a small, dark room with a TV and laptop. If you are more social than that, plenty of other metro areas have places to be with other Pitt alum/fans to watch.
If you are in Boston, it starts early.

If there are any other gatherings. Missed or impromptu, be sure to leave them in the comments below
Cleveland (thanks Pauly P, one of these times I’ll get down to join the crowd)
Bob Golic’s Sports Bar
1213 West 6th (corner with W. Lakeside, Warehouse District)
For those in NYC, does anybody know if they play the games with the commentary/sound at Pourhouse?
Golic’s Bar on West 6th & West Lakeside (Warehouse District) is the place to be for all of you Clevelanders! We have a nice group coming down with good food & drink specials. They have aDirect TV feed so Pitt game won’t be cut off by CBS.
Yes, in NYC, WCBS Channel 2 is posting on their website that the UConn game is the one being broadcast, with cutaway to other games. Guess they need to satisify the sweater tied around the neck crowd…
So now I need to plan out my beverage of choice for the evening as I think I’m going to connect up PC to the TV, move away the cocktail table, and watch at home. I’ll save all the gravy games for public viewing, as now I need room to fist pump, stomp, roll around, and possible throw things. I think I’m going to step into a bottle of Brooklyn Local 1 (link to brooklynbrewery.com) in honor of our Brooklyn-bred point guard and his O-faced Sports Illustrated cover.
What are other people going to be imbibing?
I always have decent luckat:
Fox and Hound (15th and Spruce)
anyone else in Philly here?
If they make it to the Final 4, think I’ll have to switch over to something from New Holland Brewing, although I may only be able to get 22 oz. bottles – not a bad thing, I guess.
…By the way, I forgot to let Mrs. Wanamaker know that I apologize in advance for any eccentric, hyphenated explanatives I might hurl in the heat of battle at her son when I’m hopped up on a champagne-sized bottle of 9% ale (Thank goodness my neighbor speaks no English). I’m a fan of his, believe he has truly improved. He’s a fighter, a winner, and gosh darn-nit, I like him. …and I know he can kick my ass. Just don’t miss any freakin’ layups and don’t throw any half-assed entry passes!….Ok, ok. Serendity now. Serendity now….
For fans in NYC area, the Uconn game is in the same window so if you want to be able to watch Pitt, you need to go to a bar.
