I'd just like to stand up for Dalton and the rest of the crew and say that is nothing like the movie Roadhouse.

I think you would agree that if these stories are true, they are indefensible.

Re: Beck's is a joke!!

I disagree. In my experience, they have a tendancy to overcook their food. Had a burger there a few years ago and it was practically charcoal. The pizzas are a bit better, though the crust on mine yesterday did have a few black spots.

lol Jay, so you had one burger there that was over cooked a few years ago?

I wouldn't agree, don't throw a punch, unless you are willing to receive one.

Re: Beck's is a joke!!

Its too bad we have a thread bashing a place that does so much for UNI athletics.

Six years ago we were compaining because Peppers wouldn't switch from the Iowa game to the UNI game @ YSU that was on TV. We have never had a place that embraces our Panthers so much, now we are *****ing because they couldn't get a game on tv? Or because some drunk swung at a bouncer and got the snot kicked out of him.

Seriously, those of you that want to talk crap about Becks, go walk through their establishment and take a look on the walls. Please, honor them with your patronage.

I somewhat agree with your statements, I personally think it is sad that they CHOSE not to get the Gameplan feed. They could of gotten they chose not to. Their right as a business and many of their customers are expressing there dislike for their decision.

As for the beating, the barmuda group of bars have been doing those sort of things since the mid 90's. NEVER should sober bar workers inflict undue harm on drunk stupid rude people who deserve it. If the guy was that bad call the cops. At Penn State a guy was killed by a bouncer (the bouncer is very messed up over it and may never recover emotionally). Was the guy stupid, yes. Did he deserve to get arrested, yes. Did he deserve to die because a guy hit him in the wrong place with an unlucky shot, no.

Stories like that while often embellished are usually somewhat true.

Beck's has created loyalty from customers with their relationship with UNI athletics. It is a business decision. If they could make more money associating with another group they probably would. Their decision to not pick up the FCS games last Saturday may have made that day a little more profitable but it is going to hurt their business for weeks to come.

Bad business decision and the customers are voicing their dislike now

yeah, well.... that was the day that UNI played at Delaware. and I had gone to Mulligans to watch that game. Which also left a bad taste in my mouth. heh

Re: Beck's is a joke!!

They didn't think they needed to. Whats the deal, doesn't anyone realize that this was not Becks fault? This is the Altitude channels fault. I saw the listing personally, the game was scheduled to be on Altitude, which Becks has there fore they told us they would be showing the game. Altitude chose to show something else (I believe it might have even been the Montana vs Weber state game.) When they found out it was not on they called directv to order game plan and were told that it would cost $1,000 for the one day showing, I believe them. Mulligans, who has had Gameplan all season paid approx $2,500 for the whole year. STOP BLAMING BECKS!

Re: Beck's is a joke!!

made a choice customers who do not like that choice can be unhappy.

Altitude made a choice and Beck's may choose to not use their service next year.

Customers have a right to complain if they didn't complain service would be awful. just come to Canada where almost no one complains. service food and just about all things suck because no one expresses their dislike.

My point was why would a place that is considered a sports bar not have ESPN Gameplan in the first place. To not have it Saturday means they didn't have it for the whole year. I agree paying $1,000 to have it for one day is not feasible but paying $2,000 for the entire season makes business sense to me for a "sports bar". Go Panthers!!

Re: Beck's is a joke!!

Why make the "business choice" to have game plan when game plan has made the "business choice" to not carry any UNI games (until the Quarter finals), and Becks has made the "business choice" to support UNI athletics to the best of their abilities.

This is a UNI Athletics discussion board, not a Bash Becks board, you want to be a "cranky customer" write a letter to the editor, but please stop bashing a sponsor of the board for something they had absolutely no feasable control over.

Good bye.

Re: Beck's is a joke!!

Being fully aware that Barmuda management regularly views this board, I can assure you that they will understand the disappointment while they also appreciate the support on this board which they very much deserve.

It's nice to see everyone getting so fired up over Beck's. Nothing like getting pissed off about a bar. HAHAHA
