Kolek planning to go pro
I was 17 when I started at MU. Turned 18 on 10/29 my freshmen year.
I thought everyone held their summer birthday kids back a year nowadays. Especially boys. You had to be one of the youngest freshman guys at Marquette.
Every single parent of boys under 12 i know has read Outliers. I think Gladwell gets a kickback from the private schools for the extra year of tuition that book generates.
Got you beat. When I started school, the cutoff date in Connecticut was March 1. I didn't turn 18 until January of my freshman year. My roommate didn't turn 18 until February. Back then, the drinking age was 18, and it was a pain in the neck for him getting into bars that first semester (maybe got in 50% of the time). Fortunately, I looked a lot older and don't recall ever getting carded, although I still look older and that is no longer a good thing.
Warrior - I was young for my class (turned 18 in late September of my freshman year) though not nearly as young as you. The kicker was that Milwaukee's drinking age was 21 when I was an MU student (1966-70) which meant I wasn't "legal" until almost a month into my senior year. Of course that never stopped any of us...
I think you are wrong about Wisconsin's drinking age. I believe it was 18 until the early '80s. One of the great things back in the day was that the drinking age in Illinois was 21, so all the 18-20 year old girls came to the Kenosha bars.After my high school graduation, all my friends went to party at the bars. I went home cuz I was still 17.
I believe that up until 1972, the counties had the authority to set their own drinking age. From about 1972 - 1984, it was 18. 1984 to 1986 it was 19.
Man... I sure hope MH is chatting up Marquette to his teammates. Kevin Knox and Jordan Brown look REALLLLL good.
Knox is unbelievable. He's also a top 10 recruit and has a offer from just about everyone.
Markus led team with 17 points and team advanced to Finals.
