Anyone know of a place in the Loop where people will be getting together for the game on Thursday?
I'll be in my office on Clark on a teleconference call. Luckily I don't have to really participate, so I can just zone out and watch the game on my computer.
Yeah, the Rupp Arena. Only 5 1/2 hour drive. Let's get some MU fans there!

O'Neill's on Wells according to MU website. 411 South Wells. I think it used to be Alcock's.
Last year there was a last minute "Chicago Viewing Party" note sent out by the Chicago Chapter/MU Connect. The establishment was O'Neill's on Wells (Formerly Alcock's). While not as formal a viewing party as, say, National Marquette Day, there was plenty Gold and it's a decent place. There was sound, but I didn't (and one shouldn't) expect giveaways, deals and free hot wings unless advertised.
I've not yet seen a note of this sort yet.

Sorry for the bad formatting. Did that cut and paste from my phone. Here's the link:

Chicago Alumni Office just sent an email stating they are getting together at O'Neil's on Wells (410 S. Wells St.) if you are downtown. They usually get a Miller Lite special setup as well.
I went to O'Neil's last year. It was decent once the young trader/broker community left after a 2 beer lunch.
