| - We went to Zipps to watch college football. The Kansas State alumni club was taking up much of the restaurant with the KSU/OU game on the tv's. The service was very good as the waitresses kept up with everone. The food is conventional bar food with a limited beer selection. Prices weren't cheap but given than we camped at the table for three hours, it was fine. Probably a 3 star sports bar experience.
So I rate my Zipps experience 4 stars because of the entertainment value provided by the table next to us. It had about six of the most annoying teenage boys I've seen since my daughter's 8th grade advancement ceremony. Now, granted, I came from a generation where you bent the bill of your baseball cap and hid your smile if you were 15 and rocking braces but I'm no square. I get that teenager boys are constantly trying to figure out the society around them so I cut them slack for dressing like retards, growing too slow, and being annoying - in fact, I even pump up my Zipps Yelp review because no one responded when, for example, the table of virgins cheered when OU scored in an attempt to rile up the KSU alums. And to watch them putting away ranch like it's nobody's business while commenting on who should ask out the waitress (she was probably too hot for me, but why wouldn't Angus have a shot at this 32 year old POA? What with his off-color Red Sox cap and sweatshirt from the Jesse Pinkman season one collection, who could say no?). From watching them systematically remove any traces of vegetables from their Cheapest-Thing-On-The-Menu-Burgers to discussing the merits and shortcomings of the domestic swills (Ham claimed a liking for dark microbrews -- but then failed to make a "just like I like my women" joke) to stumbling through dividing the check with proper tip, the fact that Zipps leaves these wieners alone and treats them like a regular group of awkward grown men will assure their (and my) repeat business as a new generation of ASU-educated 49ers fans are bred right before my eyes.
