Kolek planning to go pro
I remember the Chicagoland alumni association used to hold game watching parties for almost every game at the schoolyard. Now the crowds are pretty pathetic at Commonwealth or Old Town Pub compared to those days. Honestly they should go back to trying to develop various game watching parties for all major games.
I’ve read the content on this message board for years, but this is my first post. I was recently talking with someone at Marquette’s Alumni Engagement Office and told them I was a little disappointed that for a game like Xavier which is on big Fox, there was not an away game viewing party in Milwaukee. Although it is short notice, we reached out to Major Goolsbys and they are going to reserve a portion of the restaurant for Sunday’s game against Xavier. Marquette should be including this in their alumni newsletter on Wednesday along with putting it on their social media this week. No need to register or anything. Many people have MLK day off the next day, so a great time for a Sunday Funday. It’s a big game and it would be great to get a decent turnout on short notice. Pass along to your fellow Marquette friends. I am hoping for 20-30 people. If it works out, next season, we will try and organize two away game viewing parties in Milwaukee a lot more in advance. GO MARQUETTE!
I wish Commonwealth had better food.
Does Commonwealth even show games? I had to fight tooth and nail to get the game, much less sound for games last year
Welcome to Scoop. Hope to see you post more.We are the most rational college fan board in the country..., oops, I forgot you said you browsed the forum before.
Tom Crean sucks…yes, been here a while😀
I can tell you didn’t attend the dental school
Try Leaviit Street Inn in Chicago. Great food and alumni owned.
7:46. Indirect.
Schoolyard was decent, I liked the few years when Four Shadows was a watching partner. But I agree that regular chicago viewing parties would be good.
Watched Wardle hit at that 3 vs. Louisville at The Major. Can’t beat it. Also, The Major on Twitter is almost as good as the burgers.
Some fist-pumping gray haired dude in a suit wearing indoor shades was cut off at the bar. It was hilarious and awesome 😎!
