Milford B-dubs
I wont rant with a long post here even though I want to, but I am boycotting the Buffalo Wild Wings in Milford and would like other Bearcat fans too as well. The GM of that store today switched the Bearcat bowl game off a TV to show the UK-U of L game. There were about 20 of us watching the game in front of that big screen and she accomodated a table of two to watch that game and told me she would put it on a smaller screen for me, but she was not putting the UC game back over to the closest big screen even though there were four tables of fans sitting there. I simply explained to her that this is Cincinnati and a Cincinnati game should take precedent in Cincinnati over an out of market game, especially when we were already watching it and were mid game. She stood by her guns and we walked out and I will never set foot in there again. It had been an in the middle place to meet with friends a few times a year for road games. No more, someone else will get my money. Stuff like this irritates me to no end. Bearcat fans need to stand up and make this our town.

Already did. We already had to quit going to the Crossroads, now Eli's, in Mason about five years ago because one gameday they didn't have any bartenders/staff that knew how to change the TV's and therefore couldn't put the UC game on. We had many issues with that place about getting UC games on, they just didn't like to change their TV's. While that was bad enough I find it worse that a manager would basically tell you that you are less important than another customer. She obviously doesn't have good customer service skills. To me if you're running a bar that you fancy as a sports bar (and I think we can all agree BW's fits that mold) then there are certain rules you need to follow. First and foremost your local teams gets first precedent on the TV's. Any secondary game someone wants to watch you find a TV to put it on where you can sit them for that game. They had that game coming on another big screen and three tables open in front of that TV. Instead she turned off the game in front of 20 UC fans who had already been eating and drinking and midway through a game to accomodate two guys who asked to put it on and didn't see a problem with it. I'm waiting to hear what B-dubs has to say about it. I'm sure they'll offer me free food, but I won't give them that satisfaction.

I dont go there because their chicken is awful. This will be another reason.
But then again, its bdubs. The same company that decided to mute its own Buffalo Wild Wings bowl game for the UFC fight. Im sure corporate isnt to happy about that one |

i know when i want to watch a cleveland browns game, i go to the browns bar, not bw3s...i am not sure if Uk or UL bars exist, but i am sure there are plenty of places to watch that game...personally, i would never walk into a bar, observe several fans of a particular watching a screen, and ask to have my preferred game be broadcast...the manager had poor business sense, and the uk fan was, as i have come to expect, rude and self absorbed...

And I am still yet to receive a response from them. I sent them an email Saturday night and got a form response acknowledging receipt. I know nothing will come of this other than to just frustrate me even more, but as a wise man once said if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem.

I have boycotted Bdubs for years.
Bad service (at some locations)... and extremely overpriced.
