T-Giving NC--2010-- NTNin' at Buffalo Wings and Rings-- Richmond, Indiana

It is quite easy to get Buffalo Wings and Rings confused with the much-larger chain called Buffalo Wild Wings. Not all BWRs have NTN, but all BWWs (I still call them BW3s) do.

We'd played at the Buffalo Wings and Rings on a previous trip when we stopped for the night in Richmond. At the time, we weren't expecting to stop there so had not done any researching NTN sites ahead of time.

Our motel was close to the restaurant and we were very happy to find they had the game so played awhile.

The first motel I tried to stop at, the Motel 6, had an even better price, but way too many people waiting to check in, so I ended up at the Days Inn across the street.

I had their signature gyro sandwich which was very good.

Sadly, as far as NTN, this place was all too typical. No one was playing and the game wasn't even on any TVs, despite a good-sized crowd in the place. When the game is not even on, this is never a good sign.

They also have just five boards. The bartender put the game on for me. The Buzztime scores were from 6,200 to 7.900, low for this time of the month.

I played a couple games and did have a national #11 with 9829 on Buzztime for RoadDog. I also played part of the hour-long music game and was happy they had so many old country song questions.

It will be too bad to lose this as an NTN site, expecially with all the nearby motels within walking distance.

There is a Biffalo Wild Wings about a mile down the road, though.

Definitely a Long First Day. --RoadDog
