Re: Beck's is a joke!!

JBHGH! Whats up?

Will we be seeing you in CF or will you be praying for a Semi-final victory?

Surely you would make it up from Hotlanta right?

I might fly in to the ATL and ride up with you.

Re: Beck's is a joke!!

Man I moved from the dirty in July. I took a promotion with my company in Baltimore. I have a designated UNI Bar here called TAPS and we have 3 other UNI Grads that rock it out with me. Literally the place is 50 yards from Jenna Bush front door with the secret service sitting out front. Taps wants to rock a UNI Flag so I need to get one when I am back for Christmas. Unlike Beck's this place provides UNI Games, $1 bud lights, and free shots when UNI Scores. Other then that I go to a lot of the home skins games to represent Rinehart. He might play this week with Samuel out for the season.

If we make it to nooga I will see you there!!!!!!!!!

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.

PR

exactly, a bar in touch with its clientele will be successful. I know last time I was in CF I went to Beck's cause I see the place talked about on this board.

If you go on AGS the UNH guys are all telling the Richmond fans to go to Mulligan's. Beck's will be better because of this.

Re: Beck's is a joke!!

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.

They had a choice, and they made it. People are reacting to that choice. Such is life, and everyone involved are simply exercising their rights. We are all glad they support the board and applaud them for doing so, but it doesn't make them an improper subject of discussion. I'm certain they would agree.

The bouncer thing is somewhat separate. I've never head of this reputation, and if true it's disappointing. Acting like that ran a bar/business right out of business in Des Moines a few years back, it'd be a shame to see it do the same to a supporter of UNI. FWIW, there's a reason if the cops were involved, it would be the bouncer/manager being charged.

Re: Beck's is a joke!!

What made me a little mad saturday was not that Becks didn't not have the game, but that they told people they would, it was publicized on here, and many people, myself included showed up only to find it was not being showed. No one explained to me why.

Now that I know about the Altitude situation I don't blame Becks. Thanks for clearing it up Jeg.

If things happened as it has been reported on here, it is inexcusable. However I am fully aware that is one version of the story and there are always two or more versions. The version coming from someone who go drunk enough and was stupid enough to take a swing at a bouncer lacks some credibility by definition. Like you say if cops came and a bouncer or manager were charged then the legal system can sort it out.

I haven't seen anything to indicate it rises to the level of the Dsm bar, where a patron was killed by bouncers, and without anything more than internet rumors to go on it should not be compared.

Re: Beck's is a joke!!

Why would the Altitude network, which is based primarily in the west (colorado I think), whose only FCS ties are with the Big Sky conference, show anything other than the quarterfinal game between the two Big Sky teams?

I've tried to consistently preface everything with "if true." I thought the story as presented on here was coming from the perspective of a neutral observer, but I may be interpreting it wrong.

I agree, this isn't to the level of the DSM bar, but beatings are usually what precedes something more serious.

Re: Beck's is a joke!!

I was the one who reported the game would be on at Beck's, if you want to be pi$$ed at someone be pissed at me.

I told you the game was on, it wasn't.
I have kicked the snot out of someone before long enough to make him bleed.

There you go, you can equally transition your "Becks Hatred" to Jegbomb52.

Re: Beck's is a joke!!

Went to Becks today after my presentation had a few pitchers with my group members and then had a 49 cent wings. AMAZING as they have always been.

Re: Beck's is a joke!!

Being there on Saturday, I completely understood why they would not purchase the plan for that day. The person in charge that day explained the situation to us and said she was sorry. Yes, we left and went to Mulligan's and had a good time there watching the game. I have no problem with what they did or why the game was moved. It sure isn't anything to get pissed about. I will be back at Beck's next time as I've never had issues there. Plus, they give a discount to Alumni Association members.

I feel the same way (except that I'm not an AA member, so that doesn't affect me). However, Becks is still my first choice when it comes to sports bars. I like the Panther feel to it, and it's the closest to me. But that doesn't stop me from going elsewhere if the television situation dictates it.

Re: Beck's is a joke!!

We have gone to Beck's before games most of the time this season. IMO the food is very good and the service is very slow. I don't mind because we have nothing better to do for a few hours and I just blow it off as a college bar and not to expect too much in terms of speed.

The mac and cheese is homemade, very popular with my kids.

I don't mind waiting a long period of time for service if somebody could just quickly hit us up with that first beer right away.

Re: Beck's is a joke!!

They are incredibily slow on game days or busy times. They must only have one cook in back.

I'm neutral as far as trying to be able to explain what happened to my understanding told to me by two bouncers of Beck's who worked that night, my little brother and his friend. And my other post stated that this probably happens at a lot of bars but is only known to those who work there.
So I'm only stating a fact of why I choose to not go to Beck's on the hill, I do go to Beck's on University.

I know none of you know me other than Pantherclaw (sorta) so I don't expect you to trust someone you don't know. But know that my degree is based on stating facts and only facts without emotion, if it means anything to anyone. I really don't care personally if a person goes to Beck's or not.
