Great win. Didn't expect such a large margin of victory, but I can't object to such a big win.
LOL... too funny! Great comment but can we extend it to at least 1996?? ;D
MU nerds partying like 19- fill in the blank
where do the students go after games? Do any of the bars exist on campus anymore?
Murphys but it's not in the same location as when I first went to MU... '92. Bars closed since I was in school... OD's, Gullis, 'Lanche, Glocca Mora. The Ardmore/ Gym is still there but under a different name.

they go to bed or go to raynor, according to most at least.
Back to reality, Murphy's and Caffrey's have the $3 pitchers after home games. Btw, glocca mora just closed within the last year and a half, approx., not 1992
I ODs gone?

Yes... didn't mean to imply all those bars closed in 1992... the 'lanche, Gym (changed names), and Gloc were all after I left school in '96.
Harp & Shamrock is still open and serving Bloody Mary's at 6:00am!!!

OD's was closed in the spring of 1993. :'(
The Triangle house now resides on the former location.
bummer - that was my after game bar. Pop in some U2 and down some T&Ts

It's a damn shame... IMHO, the best bar that was ever at Marquette. Before everybody jumps all over me, the 'Lanche was #2, and the Harp & Shamrock at #3.
agree - good pool tables, sort of clean, hot chicks and great jute box
Always had a soft spot in my heart for the Ardmore/Gym (anyone know what it is called now?).
Great memory of watching it snow outside while drinking buck imports, quietly praying for it to turn into a blizzard because there was no way I was going to finish my theology paper. Got the blizzard, cancelled classes, and a few extra days to write the paper. Sadly, struck-out with what's her name. Still, the miracle blizzard was worth it.
ODs and Murphys deserve honorable mentions.
in 1988 since Bob Dukiet was the coach then.

or, you HAD to party to stomach the type of hoops played by MU!
How about theo's on wisconsin ave? That place had cheap drinks...
The gym bar turned into Big Shots, then Big Shots turned into Caffery's I believe
I was a bartender at the Gym for a couple of years in the mid 90's. One of my best friends was a bartender at Murphs. Bringing back memories!

Theo's was awesome. My buddoes and I lived in the old YMCA building (before it was converted into the nice res hall it is today). Theo's had a rear deck for sipping your drinks in warmer weather.
The jukebox had great music. I remember one night a foreign exchange student from Japan with limited English skills singing "Bad to the Bone" into the wee hours of the night. Hilarious. Great memories.
Speaking of nerds, I think this thread is the perfect place for this...Are we all assuming that moron who wrote/made up that article about drunk people in the MU Tribune was one of the Deutsche Banks out there with the dance team last night? WTF was that?!?!? I know they have been doing it for a couple years now, but really, WTF was that?!?!?
In 1988, 1978...probably even 1998, no self respecting male student would have been caught dead out there. Now, I can certainly understand and perhaps even appreciate their thought process...Clearly we have all done things we aren't proud of in the interest of getting laid, but I think it's safe to assume that they actually didn't achieve that objective even/especially after that pathetic display.
I do however appreciate them providing another example of the excruciating lameness of today's college students.

I was embarrassed just watching them. How does one get roped into something like that?

Was that article written by the same guy who predicted we wouldn't make the post season last year or maybe it was this year?
No nerds on campus this Friday

no. i think you are assuming this though. i was sitting right behind the group that went out there and he wasn't. i know that might disappoint you.
The 78s, 88s, 98s were too good to take part in this kind of buffoonery. Recent posts say that MU students of today are too lame to have this kind of fun.

My intention isn't to make you feel old, but Lenny's was sort of a second home for my dad. Probably still his all time favorite bar.

But John, you started looking a lot better after you stopped spending so much time in that place.
I miss Theos too
I will always have a soft spot for Hegarty's. Living in Tower for 2 years might have something to do with it. Closing it every Sunday night first semester junior year, dashing over there from Johnston hall for a quick game of pool and a pint when a prof was late for a final, getting a visiting poli-sci prof drunk on Guinness (thanks, Mr. Copa for picking up the tab) as we had a review session there. Yup, Hegs. Though I loved the Gym, Murphs, OD's, the Ardmore, O'Paget's too. Never that fond of the 'lanche.

Wait, there was once a bar on 18th and State? When did it close?
I have to hear more about this place and the opportunities I missed due to enrolling at MU in 2002 (and living like a half-block away from that tavern junior and senior year).

Super, super sketchy place. Closed in the late 90's, if I'm thinking of the right place. There was a sawed-off shotgun propped up behind the bar to ward off potential robberies.

My dad graduated in '72 and it was sketchy back then, but still drew a pretty sizable Marquette crowd.
Do Marquette students still go to Conway's on West Wells? That place was kind of funky, but fun.
I graduated in may of '07, i might be biased, but my class was the last true drinking class Marquette will see. Everyone before us knew how to drink and they past it on to us. Not to say that the senior class now is without its partiers but its not the same. Murphys would be full of people by 9:30 last year. Now... people wont come in until 11:30-12 oclock. they arent at cafferies either. you could put blame on the new enrollment standards, but i just think that current students cant drink worth a lick. Marquette is slowly (tempted to say quickly) losing its prominence as a drinking school. I guess we need go back to school and teach those kids how to drink.

This argument has been going on for two decades now. Marquette hit its peak as a party school in the 1980s and into the early 1990's before Marquette started buying up all of the bars to build Campus Town. The other factor was that in the 1980s there was a time when 18 or 19 year olds could legally drink. When that changed and then MU tore down all the bars, it was only a matter of time before drinking had less prominence at Marquette.

My brother graduated in 75 and he used to talk about Lenny's. The one story I remember was about a guy stumbling in the front door and the owner telling people people to get him outside. It turns out the guy had been stabbed and the owner didn't want the cops in the place. My brother tells the story that they sat at the bar and drank beers while the cops chalked out the poor fellow.
I don't remember the place in the 80's but that doesn't mean it wasn't there. The Greentree was at 19th and Stae I tHink. That place was scary sometimes.
The Greentree. Early '80's. $2 all-you-can-drink beer until the keg was gone. 20 guys huddled with their little plastic cup slamming beer as fast as they can, trying to get that $2 buzz so we could move on to a bar that had girls in it.
