Campus Bars

[southpaw9984]

Hey All,

Not sure if this has been talked about but I was on campus a couple weeks ago and of course decided to hit the normal campus bars (Murphy's and Caff's).  I graduated in 2007 when these places were both PACKED on the weekends.  In fact, Murphy's had a line out the door 3-4 nights a week.  I went out on a Saturday and both were almost empty.  I was completely shocked... 

Where have all the students gone???

i would guess the crappy weather was a factor

They were obviously at Gesu lighting candles for Tim Tebow.

Can't wait for him to get to the NFL and become a modern day Bobby Douglass and complete less than 45% of his passes.

I'm gonna guess that the bars will fill up more once the juniors start turning 21.

Was just there over the weekend and I was shocked at how few people were out...  If it wasn't for 100 + rugby alumni wandering the campus, I don't think anyone would have been in the bars!  Shame on MU students for staying in!

Most people head downtown on Friday/Saturday nights and then hit up Murph's and Caff's around midnight or thereafter.  That said, I wasn't out this weekend, so I have no idea what it was like around 12:30 or 1:00.

(Maybe everyone was at Von Trier for their final weekend!)

It's a trickle down effect for all the "rich kids." 

Bad economy - less money for mom and dad - less allowance for the kids to spend on comics and penny candy.

I world guess sales of Steel Reserve at Campus Foods (if it's even still open) are soaring.

That and Vitucci knows he has a monopoly with Caffs and Murphs and has steadily increased prices since 2006...

That guy is a douche.

[jaybilaswho?]

Friday at Murphys, teh rugby guys were there until about 10:30 when they left for Hegg's. The bar was then really empty until about 12:30 when it got packed.

Murphy's always gets a good crowd after 12:30 or so mainly because it is mostly the last stop for students before they go home to after bars (which i was extremely disappointed with Friday night).

That and the price of beer and liquor has steadily been increasing too.

At least one thing remains constant at Marquette.

Rugby players drink beer on the weekends.  +1

By the way, I don't know about where beer money came from for most, but I'd figure less than 10% came from my parents... I never understood allowances in college.  I'm jealous of those bastards!
