Texas Fight…and drink

Author: AM  /  Category: drink, food

  With the Texas vs. Stanford Sweet Sixteen showdown fast approaching, Longhorn fans are only tearing themselves away from their brackets for one thing- deciding where to watch the game.  While this decision may seem insignificant to some, the truly impassioned Longhorn bracketologist knows that the precise recipe for the ultimate tourney-watching location must fulfill a few definitive criteria. Location, quantity and quality of televisions, and drink prices (making the ‘celebratory’/’drinking your NCAA sorrows away’ bar tab a bit easier to swallow come morning) are all crucial in finding that heavily sought after sports bar nirvana. Here is a short list of places that I can only hope will provide you with all the sweet basketball watching pleasure you are hankering for.
