Will start there and head out to some other local joints. Look forward to meeting some of you guys! Good luck Saturday.

    GO TERRIERS!!!
    Crabby-

    Make sure to check out the following establishments around the Ramada:

    Smitty's Bar - looks like a dump, but good service - located about 1 block SE of Ramada

    Screaming Eagle - about 3-4 blocks north (over the river) - great spot w/a good menu & cold beer; probably live music both Friday & Saturday - if you get over to Cedar Falls, it's similar to one of the best spots downtown - Toads (owner of Eagle is co-owner of Toads)

    Need pizza? - Doughy Joey's - across the corner from Ramada

    Finally, if Wofford wins, make sure to hit up Kings & Queens - 1 block south of Ramada . . . should be a great place to celebrate a Terrier win

      It's not that bad down there. They have the best guide ever, as well.

          Screaming Eagle works if the band isn't so loud you can't hear your own thoughts.

            What's the name of the Irish bar north of the river? That's a cool place, too.

                Just how respected is Grinnell, Coe and Cornell? I guess we will give you the same respect as we would give them, if they were between us and Montana..... I see the Grizz are scared enuf to root against us!

                  If you go out to dinner in Cedar Falls I highly recommend Bourbon Street.

                      In the few days we have had to learn about Northern Iowa, I think I speak for most Terrier fans that Northern Iowa has a proud athletic and academic tradition that deserves respect. Certainly the fans appear to be friendly and knowledgeable as well. While I cannot make the trip, I hope some of our fans and yours will become friends and that both teams will play well. And, did I mention, beware of the short-haired Dog.

                      As for Griz fans, I had the pleasure of meeting a few when we played them in Missoula a few years back. They are very supportive and enthusiastic for their team, but wonderfully friendly and classy as well.

                        Well...except for when they are throwing VHS tapes at the opposing team's players.

                          That's where we put people for our wedding and were more than satisfied...
                          Maybe they've improved it. The room stunk of smoke, the carpet was stained, and the door was all beat up like someone had tried to break it down.

                          I hole it wasn't a typical experience. I did get VERY drunk in the hotel bar, so that was okay.

                            I believe they did a remodel a few years ago. My old man always stays there when he's in Waterloo for business - I used to give him a hard time about how they couldn't afford a reasonable hotel... like Heartland. The joke ended a few years ago (before the Heartland chain was sold off).

                              There are actually several nice hotels in Cedar Falls now. That wasn't the case a few years ago.

                                The Hilton Garden Inn is going to be a wonderful addition early next year...
