Automatic chant

[Archies Bat]

You would have needed to turn around, twist your neck, and squint to see our seats.   Even after that, I did prefer reserved seats.   By my last year, we ended up in the 3rd row behind the basket.

[Archies Bat]

So Al was talking about your seats when he said he looked into the corner to make sure they were filled?

You bet.  The only good thing about those seats was at the time, you could easily smuggle in beer.

In defense of Bryce I am a recovering Broseph myself. Me and my fellow teddy brosevelts were almost ALWAYS late for tipoff and in the upper deck,  always due to excessive drinking of brotein shakes and brotato chips at Renee Brow before the game. Would it have been nice to to see that opening video once in a while (didn't even know they did that until I got season tickets as an alumni), sure. Do I have regrets? No. We had a blast. As a 27 year old, do I now enjoy getting there early, being a stats geek, and put more energy into the team than to drinking beforehand? Yes.

Be easy on him. He's probably 19ish. We've all been there. He's actually more engaged in the game than I was...leading a chant that one of our players likes. And he's right about one thing. The students who get there 2 hours before the game to rush the doors as they opened to get the best seats in a 1/3 empty student section were...well...a little strange in my opinion.

Central Mall camping out ended around 1978 or 1979.  That's when MU went from the full season tix for students to the 1/2 Blue/Gold format.  When I got to campus in '79, the upperclassman were lamenting the change.  It may have happened to some extent my Frosh year, I simply don't recall and certainly few participated.  I had a sense that Fr. Raynor didn't mind a night or two but I believe it had started to extend well beyond that.

Can you imagine today?  Tents and free flowing beer for days on end in the central mall?  Folks today can't believe the Party of the Century from '81.

Last Camp Out was 1976. First tents popped up 15 days before the sale date. There was a lotta PBR but prolly even more ganja. Folks walkin past from the old union to LaLumiere would stop by the tent for a toke or two. Made for a more interesting Spanish lit class.

Yes, and we had to camp out for a week to get a chance for those split games.

Camp Out was for all home games. Seats were assigned but limited, hence the camp out. First tent got first dibs on seats. Priority was given to your tent number, regardless of class (ie Fr, Soph, Jr, Sr.) Pretty fair system. Rule was that you had to have 50% of your tent present at all times. There was a stink when tents began having a coed population. The VP of Student Affairs, Dr Scott, was a real dinosaur and he said that coed tents was unacceptable (which made it impossible for males and females to have tix together!) Remember that coed visits in the dorms still required the door to be open and all feet on the floor! Not sure this was actually enforced but it was in the books. And female visitors had to be out at midnight. Hard to believe but that was life at MU in the 70s.

[Lighthouse 84]

Back in the day, when games were at the Mecca, a bunch of us at the Lighthouse had a good part of the first row of the upper deck, right at midcourt.  There was a beer stand immediately out the tunnel leading to the concourse.  Between pre-game parties at our house, drinking on the walk down to the Mecca and the beer at the game, we never had the need or the desire to get to the game too early.

Thanks raw.  I guess a few of those upperclassmen hung around a few extra years.  Can you imagine today??

I knew Jim Scott reasonably well, even when I was a student.  Bit of a micro-manager for sure but no doubt the 'camp out thing' had to change.  

Funny.... I know professors today who were students back then.  Bet there are some well buried stories that can't be told in the lecture halls.

Scott sported a flat top high and tight and those black framed birth control glasses which were vestiges from his days in the Marine Corps. He still had that look and demeanor. He was beside himself that tents were coed and that there was heavy ganja use. He prowled the area at night trying to catch fornicators and smokers. In fact, when he ended the camp out in 1977 he cited the illicit behaviors that the Camp Out facilitated. I think he was the guy who cancelled a planned showing of Last Tango In Paris at the Varsity. That one caught national media attention. Different world. How I miss those Camp Outs and the illicit behaviors they facilitated.

You remember the Dr. Scott look very well.  Your description is perfect.  Now I could start a Quentin Quade thread but Steph is a friend of mine.

Look.  I see this two ways.  First, via my misspent youth.  Second, as the dad of 2 current MU students.

[Benny B]

How is the former possible given the latter?

Now if you had kids that went to ND and UW, then one would probably expect that you spent a few years in juvie.

Ok. I suppose it wasn't a misspent youth.  And I'm sure I don't need to know my old man's MU stories.  I'm confident his were way more colorful than mine.  Only took him 7 years to graduate.

Alotta people go to college for seven years.

Was Steph the hot brunette? Quade had a whole tribe but one of his daughters was ridiculous. If she is the one who transferred to Loyola LA then she is a righteous friend. We worked together in the admissions office one summer after she transferred to Loyola. She was back in Beer Town for the summer and staying at her old room mates place on 15th instead of with dad in South Milwaukee. I am from Topanga so we spent a lot of time rappin about LA (Cali really put the zap on her brain and she was hooked. Said she wanted to stay there for the summer by Quent made her come back. Man she was smokin. I can see why the old boy wanted her home with a chastity belt.)

We used to do the applicant tours, stuff envelopes, and all of that menial crap.  We would sneak over to Joan of Arc to spark doobs during lunch. Almost every night after work we hit the Lanche. It was a righteous summer. Steph had some of us out of towners over to her parents pad a couple Sundays. Her family did the big sit down dinner thing so it was a cool palate cleanser from our animal existence. One of the dudes in the Admissions office was Dave Sinker. He made a snide comment of some sort at the dinner table which made Quentin pretty indignant. Steph and I were pretty stoned and we thought it all amusing. I guess Quent told her to never bring that "lout" to his home again. At the end of the summer we had an aloha party for Steph at the Lanche that was catered by Wales on Wells. I remember the locals were all over the food like flies on crap.

Anyhow, I had forgotten all about Steph Quade and that summer. Man did I want a taste of her but she was really like one of the dudes only she had a great smile and really slick laugh. What a great person.

[jsglow]

Um.  No.  And the rest of what you wrote was simply too painful to read.

[rawhide]

Wow. Maybe she wasn't Quade's daughter. Who was the VP of something at Marquette who lived in South Milwaukee then?

Steph is blonde.  And the current Dean of Students.

And single, gentlemen......................

Did one of her sisters transfer to Loyola LA? Man I swear it was Quade's daughter. Sinker told Quade at the dinner table that he looked like a cross between Alan Funt and Martin Balsam only not as funny. Got the old dude twisted in a major way. That was one of those moments where you kept your head down for fear of bursting into laughter.

[jsglow]

But I would be amused by a transcript from any dinner attended by Quentin and Dave Sinker.   

[jsglow]

Ed Simmons?  He put a huge pile of kids through MU.  Tim is currently the Executive Director of the Alumni Association and a HS classmate of mine.

The irony is that this thread started by criticizing bros and the brosomness. It's now middle aged dudes talking about the weed they smoked in college and making goo-goo eyes at the Dean's daughter.

Glass Houses and all that...
