"Cuisine" and Bobby V's should never be mentioned in the same sentence. I think even Bobby himself would laugh at that.

You don't think Bobby V's has good food? He invented the wrap.

Thanks for checking on this. I called Optimum as well to verify and, as you said, they will only charge for the days you have the package. In my case, I'll probably keep it tomorrow as well just to get NFL Redzone for a day.

However, there's also a $4.99 cancellation fee for canceling a package you've had for fewer than 30 days.

So altogether it'll be ~$5.59 for two days of the Sports Package.

If I can figure out how to stream the broadcast, I'll try to set something up for the game.

Got BTN now. Looking around before gametime to see what else I got.
 
For Fairfield/Black Rock bar viewing the only place I found was Chubby's on the Fairfield/Black Rock line. I called Anna Liffey's Fairfield, Colony and 4 0r 5 more until I found it. Not the greatest place but the have BTN. Come over if you're stuck without. Have a black Husky ballcap. Let's kick OSU in the nuts.....buckeyes.
 
Did you guys log in with your TV provider or no? I followed link but its asking me to add provider. Since I know I don't get the network, I haven't logged in yet, but did you just log in and it shows it?

Good for him. Wraps suck. He also invented the "bajita", still not convinced that wasn't a typo.

I've eaten at three different BV locations. Dozens of times, maybe hundreds. I wouldn't go out of my way for anything on the menu. With few exceptions, bar food shouldn't aspire to be cuisine, and BV's stuff certainly doesn't.

When I lived in Mexico City, there was a place called Harry's Bar (no affiliation to Cipriani). My Canuck roomie and I always tipped well if the barkeep would put hockey on the TV. They had a shrimp in adobo sauce dish I used to order regularly that I still salivate over. That was cuisine :-)
 
Too bad nobody is broadcasting the game on periscope for us less fortunate who aren't subscribed to big ten network.

@uconn6thborough on Twitter has a great stream there. Do some research before whining.

The food at Bobby V's in Windsor Locks is pretty good actually.

I haven't been to a Bobby V's in at least 20 years so I can't say from personal experience, but if it's not good food, there's something wrong with you for eating there that many times.

It's not binary. Food can be mediocre/average/unremarkable. Because it's not "good" doesn't mean it's "bad". Don't know about you, but if I'm going to a sports bar for the TVs/conviviality/social aspects, I'm not expecting nor demanding "cuisine". Just filling bar food that came off the Sysco truck.

Yeah, fair point; I guess the difference is that, in my experience, very few people--and even fewer on a hoops message board--use "cuisine" to connote exclusively high-end food. I'd suggest "haute cuisine," but I'd probably be shot for that.

That's why I like Bobby V's, it's not Sysco. It's a Buffalo Wild Wings for grown-ups.

Your Bobby V's is apparently different from my Bobby V's (the Stamford/Norwalk/Milford editions).
