Just gauging everyone’s interest in a potential watch party this Saturday. I figure we’d do it at Fiddlers. Or whatever it’s called now.
I think The Locker Room is permanently closed, isn’t it?

I’d absolutely be there, but the fam got something put together first. I believe we’ll have 4 generations of Utes… but a brewsky after a win with you guys would be awesome.

It is. Dang. Trying to think where else we could go.
How’s about @Ma-ake house?

If you guys showed up the Casa de Ma’ake, I would be even lower on the neighborhood totem pole…
so… who’s bringing what?
lol
I’ll be there with bells on, if we can figure out where.
It’s a shame about Fiddler’s/Locker Room - that’s the only sports bar of sorts that I’ve ever frequented, so I can’t come up with any alternatives. I’ll ask around…

All the construction disruption in Sugarhouse killed the casual traffic through that area. Sigh.

It isnt huge, but I know there are usually people hanging out at Dick N Dixie’s, east Downtown (300 s 500 e). it’s too late to see if they are showing the game; there was something aobut their service on the Southern Utah game, but that was local. Not sure about whatever is broadcasting game tomorrow.
THat is where I will be if anyone feels like coming into the area and joining me.
this is me, BTW:

So…
I got sort of swamped with several things at the end of the week, and didn’t have much time to check with many people, but interestingly, what I found, is that all the people I know that I’ve spoken to on the subject, were regulars for Ute (or RSL games) at Fiddler’s Elbow. some knew about the closure, some were unhappy to hear 
My (who’s lived in Portland for a long time), mentioned that before he moved, he used to watch Ute football games at Bar-X/Beer Bar downtown, but that they were not much like the atmosphere at Fiddler’s.
I’ll keep checking and let people know what I find.
My suggestion is that we start a thread on the board to help identify a new place to replace Fiddler’s both for board group use, as swell as regular use, and share experiences at places we are discovering.
Fiddler’s (or whatever they had been renamed) is a big loss to a lot of Utefans
Kosh, thanks for the offer. I have to drive to Provo (God help me please) tomorrow afternoon, to look at a car my wife is thinking of buying before it’s gone. If I’m back in time, I’ll text you (I think I still have your number) and stop by the place you mention.

I’ve been there. I remember then having a great beer and whiskey selection. You can also order delicious ramen from the place next door.
Turns out my back was uncooperative this morning, so I just chilled at home and streamed some shows, played some Warcraft and chose to avoid any sports news - that turns out to have been a good idea, as Utah pulled another one of its ancient traditional case of trying to geive the game away in the final quarter >.<

Maybe we should have a rotation of watch parties at UFN members’ homes. Haha
