Last year for New Year's Eve, I went to watch Virginia play in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl in Atlanta and after the game we scrambled from the Georgia Dome to (more central) downtown Atlanta just in time to watch the peach drop. It was a pretty busy and crowded celebration in the streets of one of the larger cities in the South. This year, it is a much quieter and more relaxing celebration of New Year's Eve by spending the evening inside with the family. After watching IU earn their first Big Ten victory of the season on the road at Iowa, we will be celebrating Indiana-style by playing some Sink the Biz and enjoying a freshly chilled bottle of champagne. For those non-Hoosier followers of this blog (making a strong assumption that there are in fact, any followers), Sink the Biz is a traditional Bloomington staple that can be found at Nick's English Hut on Kirkwood. The game involves floating this small glass in the larger bucket after it is filled with beer. Then, each player pours beer from a side-cup into the floating glass, trying to get it close to sinking but without actually sinking it. The player that does sink the glass has to finish off the beer that fills it up, then they refloat the glass and the game continues. I wonder if a Biz would float in champagne...
