Didn't see SNL this past weekend but if they were smart they would've made some joke about Billy Goats based on the old SNL skits about Billy Goats.

Nope. These were the two cubs skits.

And it doesn't surprise me in the least that there was no nod to the Billy Goat.  The location of the restaurant was never mentioned, and it was referred to as "The Olympia Cafe", not "The Billy Goat".   Of course, you youngsters weren't even a twinkle in your dad's eye back then.

The Cubs are going to use the apparel from the stripper skit as their new alternative road unis.

Yeah but you'd think everybody would know what place it was. Hell it takes about 4 seconds on wikipedia for those who wouldn't know.

It was way more fun back in the day before The Billy Goat decided to capitalize on it. Believe it or not, it took them a few years to put all those "cheezborger cheezborger" signs up.  We would just take out-of-towners to The Billy Goat and let them order.  After being corrected about ordering fries and a Coke, it wouldn't take them long for our friends to go, "Hey, wait a minute...."

Every Cubs playoff series in my lifetime ended in 3 straight losses (89, 98, 03, 07, 08, 15).  You can include 84 if you are a year older than me.

This year it ended with three straight wins.

Much better this way!

a lot of the friends I'd take their for their first time were even still confused. I remember they used to be much intense about it than now though, it's a shame. Also a shame that most people my age think the on in the southwest corner of the loop or the one on Ogden is the original and that's if they've even heard of it
