Exactly, just like when the Hausers quit

The Hausers leaving was symbolic of a problem in the program.

Garcia leaving is hardly that.  Sure I want him to return no doubt.  But if he's not interested, then he's not interested.  Life goes on.

Could be anywhere in the world & will potentially spend his 2 years on a college campus in Milwaukee & Champaign.

Dime beers? When was that. The last time I had a dime beer was a 7 ounce tap in 1966.

By 1977, dime beers were a quarter.  And often times green beer served in May.

I can Confirm that DG is currently in a restaurant in C-U dining with the Illinois coaching staff.Underwood is very old school and known to yell and scream alot @ his players.Not sure how DG would handle that.Also the entire world should be aware after the Loyola game that he is not very good @ making half time adjustments.

This is vaguely reminiscent of posts made during Garcia's Indiana visit prior to his Marquette commitment!  Tip: don't have your picture taken with him in the restaurant - it will queer the deal!

Winters notwithstanding, Milwaukee is solid. Heck of a lot better than Bloomington, Indiana or Stillwater, Oklahoma.

Midget -- on Wells and 24th -- was one of my "home bars" as an upperclassman. When I was there, Schlitz taps were 35 cents. But I don't doubt they were a dime a decade earlier.

My freshman year, a couple of places had dime taps the day of games, and one (can't remember which) even had nickel taps. Both had limits for how many one could buy.

But at various times during my years at MU, the Gym and State House both had quarter-tap nights, and several places had dollar-pitcher nights.

Or so I'm told.

Midget was a cool little bar.  I lived in 24th and Wells then in that 4+1 on the NE corner

Have you been to Bloomington or Stillwater?  Or Tuscoloosa or Manhattan, KS?  It's pretty easy to beat all of them.

I've been to the two towns I listed. Milwaukee has them beat, and it's not close. The campuses are nice. The towns? Blah.

Pure college towns are great between ages 18-22.  After that, not so much.

And maybe not what every college student is looking for. I think a campus in a city is a selling point to many.

I really like Milwaukee.  Wish I could spend more time there but I live a bit away, still in the area, however and we drive in once a month or so.  But not the same as living there.  I've traveled a lot, seen a lot of places, and unless you want NYC, or small or hot weather, it is a great place.

It's a beautiful city, lot's of neighborhoods, food scenes, beer gardens and beer everywhere and parties/events outside for half the year. Weather is great 2/3 of the year for those of us who don't like hot and humid.  December - March I could live without, that is for sure, but I have learned to get out in it and counterintuitively it actually makes the winters a lot more tolerable.  It took me most of my lifetime to not fight the winter, and instead embrace it and get out into it and make use of it. 

The number one key is that it is a livable city and has really grown up over the last 20 years.

For me the midwest is fine, as I love Spring and Fall, put on a pair of jeans, a tee shirt, and a fleece jacket and go. No bugs, no humidity, crisp air.

For those who like Florida in the Spring, Summer, and Fall, I can see why they'd hate the midwest or Northeast.  But I talk to too many people in FL/AZ who hibernate in the summer, A/C on, and blinds drawn.  As one older guy in AZ tells me, it isn't bad in the summer, I just go out before 8:00 AM.  So, kinda like winter without the snow.  But I am sure that many don't care and get out and golf, etc, regardless of the temp/sun.

Now, if one could afford to live in San Diego, with money to live the right way there, well... that might be the best weather for a guy like me who doesn't like hot and humid.  Hassle getting around, but I could live with that: Cooler, fewer bugs, etc. 

An aside: Shout out to Kevin O'Neill who I heard on the Mac's podcast mention that he is living on Coronado and loving it. Ocean view. Said he is working at a law firm 3 hours a day and loving life.  I'd love to know what he does at the law firm.

I think we probably over value the college experience based on our own personal experiences.  Everyone has their own desires in what they want out of the college experience

I love Milwaukee. After MU I lived in Chicago for 4 years before moving back home to Detroit. I’ve been back in Detroit coming up on 7 years now and whenever someone asks me “do you miss living in Chicago?” My first response is always “I miss being 90 miles from Milwaukee”

Milwaukee is a nice, average Midwestern city. Nice Volk, situated on Lake Michigan.

But the weather there isn't at all favorable. I also lived in Ann Arbor which has the same climate - brutal winters and humid summers. Given a choice I would take A2 every time.

B1G college towns have so much more going culturally than Milwaukee. I hate to say it but Madison is preferable to Milwaukee as a place to live.
