Badger pre-game ideas

[Galway Eagle]

I played four square for that game too. Its kind of a tradition now. Hahaha.

Oh haha definitely played foursquare with you good game great little tradition. Better than when we used to just play pass the handle.

How did that work out for them??

Fine Lighthouse.  The 'no alcohol' part was important because they were 18 at the time and I absolutely knew that both MPD and Public Safety would be visiting them regularly through the night.  I think they understood that it was no time to be stupid.  

The Bucky game in 2010 was an early start so daughter actually arrived with some Fanatics the night before while the Bucks were still playing.  They got kicked off the corner by the Andy Frans and ended up across the street at the northeast corner of the Arena where they slept out under the sign.  She wasn't actually the first in line but was the first female.  So when security the next day chose the person to do the countdown over the megaphone, it was her.  Two years ago, I believe the same security guy (all the early bird students know him) asked our son to step across the rope to assist Buzz with doughnut handouts, and then enter the building first.  I'll take that legacy 35 years from now.

We call him the general. He can be a pain to deal with.

I felt bad for The people who weren't drinking that 2010 night.

Oh that takes me back. Last time I camped out it was 2010 closed some place on old world third, then went to George webbs then straight to the bradley center. Oh the lack of memories.  

So Bag, did you end up under that Arena sign in 2010?  You know the crowd that was there in the wee hours.  I won't mention any names.

[muwarrior69]

Lineup at around 3am. Wait a second...that sounds miserable. The things I go through.

In my day students had reserved seats so we did not have to line up...thank God. I can remember a 3 week stretch where the temperature did not get above zero.

In 2010 I officially got there around 4 I wanna say. Me and a buddy closed down Buckheads (sophomores with fakes feel so cool) went to George webbs, called another buddy to bring some stuff to us, sat in his car drinking the old four lokos, then got in line.  Didn't really know most the other people and we obviously stood out as a wee bit inebriated so we weren't about to become buddies with many people but we wanted bird cage seats.

Funny thing is I forgot I got my dad and his college roommate tickets to that game, was supposed to sit with them but saw them at half time and to this day have no recollection.

I've only seen it like three times be hyped enough that you needed to get there that early (WI, ND, OSU) for the most part two hours did the trick.

Four lokos are always a poor decision. Especially the old ones. My friends almost didnt survive a weekend trip to U of I (Illinois) because of those bad boys.

TAMU's line to me after I had a few too many of those "[bagpiper] what did you drink tonight?" Me "just food poisoning" "[bagpiper] you can't eat alcohol"

Now days I shudder at the radioactive stuff college kids drink.

First time at the BC? 

If you want the classic experience, I'd probably say Goolsby's, though I'm not a huge fan. It will be jam packed with gold and red (probably to the point you won't be able to hold a conversation or hear yourself think) before the game. Buckhead's, Buck Bradley's, and Upper 90 are all sports bar atmospheres before the game within walking distance. Not sure if Upper 90 will have the Premier League on that morning, probably a decent chance.

You could also start on campus and walk. Get a bloody at Sobelman's or hit another campus bar then head down Wells. Should be a decent day Saturday, highs around 40.

.

Sobelmans doesn't open till 11.  Too bad, a bloody sounds good.

I'm conditioning Mrs. Legs now (easy, 4ever), but may make the trip solo.  Hard to pass up the breakfast burrito followed by a vadger pounding (easy 4ever).

Pm me Legs if you make it up.  Would love to swill some pre-game whiskey with you...and any other scoopers too.

[LloydsLegs]

 I'll let you know.

I usually give the vadger a hard pounding before breakfast. Somehow the breakfast burrito tastes like filet mignon after a good vadger pounding.

Goolsby's reopened Turners.  Opens at 9am Saturday.

Also the Blue & Gold Auction is Friday night.

This choice looks good.  Turners it is.

Hope you have an awesome visit back to Milwaukee regardless of where you go pregame. My recommendation would be Turners and if a fan of the old Gym Bar a familiar bartender will be working Turners.

Planning on meeting at MixInaWilson's place for some pre-game fireball.

He is in the official video that's on the MUBB YouTube channel.  Buzz is handing him a donut.

Is that all the cheap sumbitch could afford?

Thanks Goose.  

If you happen to mosey through Turners, I would love to buy you one.

Last time I saw him was at the Harp but haven't seen him for a while.  Talk about a local celeb.

What does that say about my Marquette career?  Other than I saw a lot of it through beer goggles at The Gym

There you go.

Broken Yolk = overrated.  Then again breakfast food in general ain't no good.

Camping out overnight is never worth it.  Sleep in, show up 15 minutes before the door opens, go around to the opposite corner of where all the students line up, watch kids sprinting to try to get into that little section behind the "cheerleaders," (steal it steal it! Take that ball away) and stroll into the row right behind that section while you watch the 95% of the other people who were there hours before you end up filling up the corner sections is the way to go.  Kick the legs up on the railing and relax for a while.
