    Pregame: Illinois vs UConn, Saturday, March 30th, 5:09pm CT, TBS

    No problem. We just opened the venue with Chance and Jennifer Hudson. The video wall and room for games was a nice little off shoot we just tried out yesterday for first time. My wife and I are both Illini so it will def be an Illini and White Sox brewery / venue!!

    Not sure if this is allowed or the right place, but I recently opened a music venue, brewery, and restaurant in Bridgeport called Ramova Theatre. We have a 10 foot by 20 foot video wall that will have the Illini game jamming. Feel free to stop by, say hello, and I'll try to buy ya a beer!

    Nah, I think the pics and stuff picked up lately. I don't remember the bathing suit stuff being prominent until recently but could be me. End of the day it's up to Dan and how he wants to approach users and ad rev. If you don't like it, there are other boards that are actually a bit more...

    2023 Chicago White Sox

    Agreed, though the odds are against us. We've gone through (another) portion of the season with a number of injuries and during that stretch played 10 games against the Rays and Toronto. If we maintain this momentum we can catch up in the Central which only has one winning team which we're 6.5...

    Where did ThaKid go? He was on here for ages. Wanted to play for the team first, then continued to follow (and drink Koolaid) for years. Was fun to read.

    Help, I’m in Ann Arbor

    Awesome, and thanks. We ended up going to a place called Angelo’s that was pretty good. We’ll stop back through on our way home and will try Zingerman’s for sure.

    Help, I’m in Ann Arbor

    Heading to a family vacation and decided to stop here for the night. Hoping some of us have been here before and can recommend some spots for me to hit with the family. Hoping for some good local beer, great food, and low key atmosphere. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Beer Thread

    Thread is falling off, so I'll try to revive:) I went to a couple good breweries in Bloomington, IL this past week while I was back. Lil Beaver is pretty solid, and Destil's brewpub was great. Also, Triptych in Savoy is putting out some good stuff. Central Illinois is looking good!!

    You're talking their HQ, he/she is talking the location of the actual game.

    Beer Thread

    At times, but not very frequently. I live in NYC, so there are always places willing to charge an arm and a leg for it:) It's amazing, and there are others catching up. From what I've heard, Noon Whistle is a solid offering for NE style IPAs if you're looking for something along those lines.

    For those of you who might like big, NE style IPAs, try Noon Whistle in Lombard. They are making really good beer. As a FYI, NE style IPAs are cloudy, usually pretty strong beers. The Alchemist has Heady Topper, Equilibrium, Other Half, etc. are making these types of beer and are getting very...

    But his dad loves Fake News (I know the above doesn't work, but I still thought it was funny. Oh, and I'm done)

    There are some other Illini boards that are pretty nasty. Dan runs a tight ship, so I'd say IL is more an exception than the norm.
