The Heartland Had Heartpounding and Heartbreaking Action

So I’m running a little bit late today but as soon as I hit the front door last night, I got kicked in the face by the awesome weekend.  Yes, I flew back home to Kansas City for the weekend.  The main goal was to have great quality time with friends and family.  The secondary goal was to watch some fantastic college football.  Mission accomplished on both, especially for the three football games.

JJ’s Other Place Was Decent The Second Try Around

Alrighty, the second try to watch some football at my favorite local neighborhood hole in the wall, JJ’s Other Place.  I’ve been there plenty at night and now I’ve been there during the day.  I’ll stick with being there at  night.  I forgot a couple of important items as well as the fact there wasn’t that much to watch that day.  It was a pretty good time nonetheless.   There were some upset a brewing as well as some traditional nachos brewing in my stomach.  Continue reading JJ’s Other Place Was Decent The Second Try Around

Barspotting: JJ’s Other Place Part II

Okay, I’m giving JJ’s Other Place one more shot.  They didn’t have power for our game last week, even though they were open that evening.  So I’m going back to give them a college try for this Saturday.  The morning games all suck, but once the afternoon hits we get some Top 25 clashes.  Let’s hope that they will have a enough juice for the week for use to enjoy at least one of those.  The backup plan, for the first time ever, is Lew’s Grill and Bar.  What can I say, it’s my new favorite place.

JJ’s Other Place Was Closed Due To Lack Of Power

No seriously.  KCP&L cut off JJ’s Other Place’s power and was closed for the day.  I was pumped about heading to my favorite hole in the wall to watch some sports but it was a no go.  They recently upgraded their televisions and now  I know where the money came from.  No worries, folks.  I won’t cut you off, but I may cut this one a little bit short.  Long story short, I went to Lew’s and watch Missouri trounce Kansas State.

Barspotting: JJ’s Other Place To Be

So as I’m sure most of you have gathered by now, I live mostly on the Kansas side of the state.  What could be even more insightful is the fact that I tool around the Shawnee Mission area.  So, out of the goodness of my heart and the laziness of my butt, I will be heading to my favorite hole in the wall sports bar, JJ’s Other Place, for some Barspotting Saturday.  There’s a big local throwdown as Kansas State heads to Missouri and I want to conjure some magic I shookdown from the joint for Kansas State’s basketball tournament run.  It could be a blowout, or it could be close.  At any rate, I’ll be down in JJ’s town for all of the glory.
