    If your bracket is shot (like mine.)  and your team out of the running, you can still be part of the action! Head to Whiskey Tavern, where the clever owners have devised a NCAA Tournament bracket with special shots for each team. Sample a Long Island Ice Tea for Syracuse, an Ultimat Vodka for Northern Iowa, a Car Crash for Butler and a Stoli Blueberry for Washington. (See complete shot list below)

    Where to watch the UNI/Michigan State Game

    WHEN: March 26th at 9:37 pm (random time?)

    For Michigan State Fans: Cheer on the Spartans at Blondies West or Mercury Bar East.

    UNI:Mad Hatter Saloon is the place to cheer on Northern Iowa.

    Where to watch the Tennessee/Ohio State Game

    Where to watch the Syracuse/Butler Game

    WHEN: Thursday, March 25th at 7:07 pm

    Syracuse: Big Apple orange fans can head to The Hill for $3 Pints and $5 cheese fries (which are orange!)

    Butler: Sort of awkward, cause Butler Alums also like to head to The Hill for games...so either it's gonna be a showdown of Bulldogs and Orange, or Butler fans will retreat to the relatively safer Blondies or Village Pourhouse.
