    Des Moines Game Watch

    Where is everyone in the Des Moines going to watch the game at tonight? I have called Johnny's Hall of Fame, Okoboji Grill (Johnston), and Legends (Johnston). They are going to have the game on and if enough people are there watching the game they will turn on the sound.

    I am up for anyplace at all, just wanted to see if there were fellow Panthers that wanted to watch this together.

    Why wouldn't they turn on the sound anyway? What other game featuring an in state top 25 team is on?

    In another thread I asked this question and was told that "The Game" in Urbandale, some UNI fans are getting together. I've never been, but I'd be "game".

    $5 for 9 wings doesn't sound too bad, price is right at least even if they're not great.

      The game will have plenty of TV's and UNI will have sound and will be on the big screens. The food isn't spectacular, but the beverage prices are good.

          I'm meeting a bunch of UNI fans at Johnny's Hall of Fame, so there will be a Panther presence there.

            Should we come to an agreement on a permanent game watch location? Johnny's or something a little more centrally located? The Game had some of us there and we had the run of the bar - but it may not be everyone's favorite spot. Any suggestions?

              I know Johnny's was a Cyclone game watch last season. If it still is, there could be some conflicts when the teams play at the same time.

                I also know that Johnny's isn't overly convenient for those out west and Ankeny folks. We thinking something in Johnston? I know that Okiboji Grill has hosted us in the past, but do we want more of a sports bar atmosphere? I'd like to get more of us together. I know in the past there was an e-mail list about these things that went out, but that seems to have died.

                  Johnny's was a major sponsor for the UNI WineGate held back in October and has committed to sponsoring future UNI events.

                  It would be nice gestures by having fans attend Johnny’s for UNI game watches. Plus it has good food and plenty of room to watch the games.

                    So do we want to make Johnny's our game watch location? Everyone good with that? Sunday at 1pm at Johnny's for the ISU (blue) game!

                      Johnny's is good, but I had problems there Tuesday, they were really apprehensive to change the Illinois game to UNI, they put 2 of their 15 tv's on the UNI game and wouldn't really give up any more ground. There were only about 15 people there total, I can't imagine too many Illini fans were outraged.

                        my family frequents Okoboji in Johnston and there will be no problem getting it on TV but will lose sound when NFL kicks. I'm fine with NOT hearing the game. As long as I can see it

                          I'm fine with that for night games. But weekend day games, its impossible to be Okoboji for food. The nachos kick ass, hell the whole menu is good. I eat at Okoboji, I drink at Johnnys

                            I would be willing to do a gamewatch on Sunday but unless there are enough Panther fans there I doubt they will have the sound on with the NFL playoffs starting that day at 2 pm. I would be ok with that but don't know if others would.

                              we all want to shoot for Wednesday? I'm willing to watch it anywhere. There's a new sports bar at 50th and EP True I have yet to go to.
