Oh Upper Deck! Let me count the ways in which you are lame:
- You have a $25 minimum for credit cards. Ayesha assures me that this is a standard thing, yet I've lived in the quintessential college town for 15 years and I've never even heard of anything so egregious. I mean, we drank well over $25, but still... lame.
- A server never even looked at us. Not once.
- Your clever little 'Balls to the Wall' mural has a hockey puck in it. Puck, not ball.
- Your food appears to be from large industrial size bags that sit frozen until the need to deep fry/microwave them arises. Keep in mind I have almost zero standards for food.
- And honestly, I drug my girlfriend here because it is supposedly a 'Michigan' bar and we were going to watch Michigan basketball. I was willing to overlook just about anything - I just wanted to watch them play with like minded fans. But seriously, its 2009 and you DON'T HAVE HD?!? You are a sports bar. HD was practically created for you.
OK, Michigan won and they played the fight song over the speakers in the bar, that was cool and I was happy for it being so far from home, that's worth one star. But under normal circumstances, why anyone would ever come here to watch sports is completely beyond me.
