The official Marquette nostalgic thread

[tower912]

It was Carpenter Tower and I lived in that same row of houses on Michigan for my senior year.

Hmmm...

Schroeder 1008?  Down the hallway to the left, on the right hand side.  Had a 10 week stay at RR summer between soph and junior year, back courtyard, furthest north on the 1st floor.  Then CTE 409 & CTE 418.

More from the early 80's.....

A cheeseburger on a wheat bun from Wales, 1984 Block Party Penny Protest, the Mecca for Warrior games, Big Red, concerts at the Eagles Club and combat juice at OD's.

[MarsupialMadness]

I must admit that is still true to this day. My favorite stall on campus is the handicap stall in the Raynor basement. Its like an entire hall way leading up to the toilet. In all seriousness it may be more then half the size of my dorm room freshman year in McCormick.

Ha, very true

Yes!  (1979-1983) Also Suburpia subs, Boy Blue on Wells, and Zantigo fast food Mexican on about 24th and Wisconsin.  The MECCA was always packed to the rafters (10,938 capacity); watching Days of Our Lives and General Hospital during the coldest winter days in the Union with a plump hot dog & fries; and "studying" outside with a beer on one of the lawns on any warm sunny afternoon in April.  

Also remember playing an intramural playoff BBall game at the rec center at about 9:30 pm on one St. Patty's day.  Not wanting to miss all the holiday fun, we of course hit O'D's for our pregame "warmups" right after dinner.  Luckily, we survived and advanced only because our opponents were drunker than we were!  Both teams took the postgame celebration back to O'D's--I'm sure some combat juice was involved--it was all a fruit juicy red and kelly green blur from that point on.

I was in 1010. Off the Vator, turn left (north) on the left (west) side. The evens looked west towards McCormick/Circle Inn/Angelos.

The Pirate House

[Jackson_Downer]

Was cleaning out the closet of my old apartment and found some random catalog envelope.  I dumped it out and this was on top.

The Pirate House

Is a restaurant in Savannah, GA that is written into RLS's book Treasure Island.

[Chicago_inferiority_complexes]

Basement of Raynor has the best bathrooms. I took mad poops there

So true! Wow. Something like 2-3x the size of the first floor bathrooms, and no one knew they existed (or something?) so they were never used!

Judging by this thread, it sounds lik they were used plenty.

I used The Annex; they were very under-used, and you could smoke in there.

You smoke when you are on the john?

The Pirate House

which pirate house?

[Coleman]

16th street across from Renee Row. Has since been demolished and an apartment complex called "The Eagle's Nest" has been built on the site.

He needs more lube

[WI inferiority Complexes]

You smoke when you are on the john?

I was very cool when I was in college.  Now I need to smoke outdoors and use half a bottle of Febreeze and hand sanitizer to hide the smell from my wife.

[real chili 83]

Dime taps at the State House.  Getting a sandwich and a beer at the Mugrack.  The rec center for a basketball game when we were hung over.  Living 120 steps from OD's.  10 pm mass at Schroeder.  Our dog Duke.  Parties at the Lighthouse. 

Was Duke a Doberman? 

We had a Chessie named Rasta. The Swamp.

I'm sure that fools your wife...

Smokers have no idea since their senses are dulled but you can smell them a mile away. There is zero possibility of masking that odor on clothes and breath from a non-smoker. Perhaps the most unusual habit ever.

Duke was a lab-shepherd mix. He was one of the Lighthouse guy's brother's dog and we got him for our senior year. 
Among other things he could do, he would go with us to Wales, sit outside and wait for us with no leash.  He was that good of a dog.  True story.

Like yesterday, I was behind someone at the doctor's office and the person reeked of cigarette smoke.  It was yuk!

I ask because there were some guys with a house on State that had a Doberman with the same name.  The dog was highly trained to give the neighbors a "warm" welcome when they would walk by the house.  The "locals" would cross the street to avoid getting anywhere near this dog.

[swoopem]

We had a half Rottweiler half German Sheppard mix who didn't like the "locals" either. He was the best security system around.

[Lighthouse 84]

Duke was similar.  We always knew when someone not welcome was near the Lighthouse.

[keefe]

In the late 70's there was a black lab with a white spot on his neck, giving the appearance of a Roman Collar. He was named Landy after Fr Landwermeyer. Landy would wait patiently outside Lalumiere or the Chemistry building while his owner was in class. Great dog. People would throw Frisbees to him and after playing Landy would go back to wait for his friend.

[77ncaachamps]

Grebe's for lunch. Madd girlies at Campus Town. Hoppin on the VAX/VMS at newly-opened Cudahy.

Renee Row parties. Cases of Old Milwaukee. Drink & make furniture out of them. Trying not to puke in the LIMO.

Playing NBA Jam in that basement spot in the Union. Common, Boogiemonsters, Beatnuts, Prince Poetry at the Varsity.

You and I must have passed each other many times.

Did you attend Friends nights at the Pub?
Dance on the hardwood at Ziggy's?
