1988.
Beer Can.
Thursday night.
Mildly drunk after putting the fake ID to moderate use. The Nick Papageorgio thing pretty accurate.
Perusing MU hoops media guide.
Stuck in the Dark Ages...just before KO revives the cadaver.
Entranced by the Al quotes. Thinking how sublime the whole Al era must’ve been.
For those who lived it.
I got a strange feeling that we would get back.
To the halcyon days.
Had no idea what cd or track was in my player.
Pressed Play.
Looked out the window to a crisp Milwaukee night...
Twinkling lights of the city.
Random student revelers on the nearby streets.
Church organ music...emanated from the CD.
Wait.
Robert Plant intoned...
Lyin. Cheatin. Hurtin.
That’s all you seem to doooo.


Ok ok, I didn’t hear the meaning of those words..I knew what the song was about.
I’m still perusing the media guide...Al talking about Congratulating the Temporary or something.
Then the chorus hits.
Your Time is Gonna Come.
I didn’t  hear it as the death knell. (Robert Johnson, who at the time wrote for the MU Tribune, was writing an op-ed  that to free up resources, MU should consider going to DivisionII status...never before or since have I so wanted to kill a man for wanton, profound ignorance)

I’m hearing nothing but positive vibes despite the cacophony of the MU hoops Dark Ages...
Your Time is Gonna Come.

Your Time is Gonna Come.

I mean that song does just rock, despite its subject matter.

I still hear it as our Championship time being near.

Faint memories of McCormick ‘88 as we slew Kentucky in 1994 down in Tampa.

Plant came through a little louder in ‘03 up in the Twin Cities.

More to Come before our time is at hand.


Can they find a 1000X scale Bo Ellis shoe/foot to crush the ole BeerCan?
Explosives just don’t fit.

Unfortunately, no mention of explosives.

BYOE?

[WarriorFan]

I'm pretty sure explosives won't work.  We tried everything short of that before move-out after 86-87 freshman year... including beer can softball in the hallway and sealing up the bathroom to make a swimming pool.  The place is indestructible. 

McCormick Hall
1967 - 2019 
RIP

[WarriorFan]

by the way... 86-87, 3rd floor... where was everyone else?

[CTWarrior]

by the way... 86-87, 3rd floor... where was everyone else?

79-80 8th floor.  Did they give you guys crap if you took the elevator to the third floor like everybody used to do my year there?

[lawdog77]

by the way... 86-87, 3rd floor... where was everyone else?

86-87 room 402, part of the drunken group that put all of the common area furniture from each floor into our common area

[tower912]

84-85, 727.

[Cheeks]

by the way... 86-87, 3rd floor... where was everyone else?

87-88. 12th floor....all the way at the top.....penthouse

[mu03eng]

99-00, 5th floor.

And yes I was the one who drunkenly duct taped the elevator doors shut to prove that duct tape could hold an aircraft engine on(long story of my dads, having to crew a plane flying cross country with 1 of 4 engines duct taped to the wing). Whoever was stuck in the elevator for 90 minutes while they fixed it, I'm sorry

[StillAWarrior]

by the way... 86-87, 3rd floor... where was everyone else?

87-88 - Room 831

[WI inferiority Complexes]

84-85, 727.

95-96.  Same room.

[warriorchick]

Of course, they didn't let chicks live in McCormick when I when I was at Marquette, but I do have a number of friends who lived on the 12th floor in 79-80 and 80-81.  Attended some great floor parties there.

Imagine that, you youngsters.  Officially sanctioned parties with kegs and hard liquor.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

96-97. 928

On my campus visit, in February of 84,  I spent two nights at McCormick.   On Friday,  the floor I was staying on threw a hell of a party, 7 kegs, IIRC, plus liquor.    Made out with my first OD girl that night.  Scholarship test the next morning with a spectacular hangover and  predictable results.   On Saturday, I stayed with some sophomores in one of the triples.    We went and played basketball until 1 in the morning at the Rec Center. 

 
There really was no other place for me after that.

sanctioned or not, it was still happening in 2004

Brought a tear to my eye

[muwarrior69]

I think I took this spring of '68. First year it was opened.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

McCormick Hall same time as Cheeks.

87-88, Room 915

[StillAWarrior]

McCormick Hall same time as Cheeks.

I think there are at least four of us.  I think Topper was 87-88 too, but not positive.

[dgies9156]

What on earth do you mean, Sister Chick? I was at MU and in McCormick while you still were at FRHS and I swear there were more than a few “chicks” living there!

Quite a few as I recall!

A cash bar at McCormick. That defiles the McCormick experience!

Will they charge for bug juice too? And do women get to drink the McCormick punch one last time?????

Listen old man, if you are class of 1977, I was at Holy Rosary grade school when you were in McCormick.

Ice cream machine?

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Ice cream machine?

Ringoutahoya.com is dead, kin.  That one dude tried to bring it back, but no dice.  McCormick Hall's Ice Cream Machine died with rivals.  moved out of the dorms and started workin' for the Greek, ya know.

[dgies9156]

Old Man? 

I was a bit later than that! Not much but a bit.

[Jables1604]

by the way... 86-87, 3rd floor... where was everyone else?

86-87. 10th Floor. Supposedly a “study floor.” I ended the year on academic probation.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

I think there are at least four of us.  I think Topper was 87-88 too, but not positive.

Perhaps the worst 4 year stretch of Marquette basketball and we still came out as huge fans and loaded with MU spirit.  Got to love it.

[MUEng92]

1988-89 Room 1012 next to the RA, across from the bathroom.
