Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks are off to a terrific start this season (*knocks on wood*), currently at the top of the Eastern Conference standings at 7-0 after beating the Toronto Raptors Monday night and reigning as the only remaining undefeated team in the entire NBA.
If things keep up this way (*knocks on all the wood in the building*), you could get in on those winning ways, as well, thanks to Buckhead Back Bar Saloon.
The newly reborn Old World 3rd Street bar – moving into the back area of RWB Milwaukee in its former space at 1044 N. Old World 3rd St. beginning this weekend – announced on Instagram that, if the Bucks win 10 games in a row, the saloon will serve Miller Lite and other Miller beers for $1, along with $1 Jagermeister shots (because the label has a big ol' buck on it), during the Bucks' eleventh game on the schedule: a big road spat against the defending champ Golden State Warriors on Thursday, Nov. 8.
Looking at the Bucks' upcoming schedule, the team will have to score wins on the road against the Boston Celtics and the Portland Blazers, as well as at home against the Sacramento Kings, to win you buck Buckhead beers. The perpetual trainwreck that is the Kings should be an easy win – though they are improved so far this year. The other two games, however, will be the real challenge.
The Celtics struggled in the first few games of the season, but are now beginning to play up to their potential as Eastern Conference favorites, while the Portland Blazers are their usual feisty selves – and playing them in Portland with their loud animated crowd is always tough.
But we believe in the Bucks – so we look forward to seeing you all next Thursday night for the Bucks game with one-buck Miller beers at the brand-new Buckhead (*knocks on literally every tree in the city of Milwaukee*).
As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
