The OTPT Ale Haus presents the week 14 basketball thread: Please give a warm welcome to...

[Turtleneck]

...just getting. F$%k the Badgers and Hoosiers.

Beating #14 Wisconsin (18-5,9-3) is doable and a needed confidence booster after MSU dropped to #17. They need this win. We need this win. All of America except the people in Madison needs this win. Jonny Davis needs to chill out and take a night off. Just relax, bro.

Indiana (16-6, 7-5) isn't great, but MSU really knows how to take it down a level or two to even up with opponents. Fife returns to the Breslin, but that makes for a boring storyline without Loyer to show him who the real king of Clarkston is.

Calling my shot:

2-0 this week.

Lay your ass on the line here.

Best of luck OTPT! My week didn't go so well, just like my golf game.

[Nordic]

Best of luck OTPT!.

You got this buddy!

That wasn’t on you. You were dialed in. A few other posters were goofing off instead of focusing.

[Rick Saunders]

I'm trying not to lose focus but I've actually been keener on lagers lately.

I have one Hopslam left to spend... so tonight or Saturday?

Fuck red in every shade it comes in.

We stopped in OTPT Ale Haus Tuesday night. We started off the night by ordering some buckets of beer. It took nearly 4 mins for the first bucket to arrive. Ordered some shooters and they were ice cold. Overall the staff seemed sluggish. Sounds like they also has a lot of turnover.

The owner stopped by our table. Young guy, mid-to-late 20s, shades, long hippy hair, smelled like mountains. He mumbled something about runs and first round punch outs. He looked distressed.  He sounded distressed. I told him it will be alright and there is always a lull in February.

Anyway, he was nice enough to give us a gift card for two free appetizers and left us with a "who's your daddy". They expire on Saturday, so we'll be back and report out if there are any improvements.

Wouldn’t it be more prudent to pick someone to have a fight with?

I’m warming up my right arm to throw chilled mugs at the mirrors and bottles on the wall behind the bar. Just in case.

This is also a good option. I like it. We can do both.

It’s always satisfying breaking other people’s things… and body parts.

Every time I open a coors I feel like a banquet is going to break out. I also like Hopslam. But c'mon, OPTP, if your going to eat vegan tacos you may as well wash them down with O'Douls

[Turtleneck]

I like the menu, OTPT.

Mmmmmm… chorizo.
