Morry's closed in 1995.  Might want to get out of the basement

UConn absolutely suffocating Butler at the moment

[Herman Cain]

Huskies are top dog today versus Bulldogs

Helps MU's cause.

[wisblue]

Butler is severely undermanned.

UConn is just trying to stay ahead of us in the polls.

They were my group's hangouts from 80-82. When we're you there, cc?

There was a bar named The Midget?  WTF?

It was a tiny place -- maybe a dozen barstools and hardly even any area to stand. Small glasses of Schlitz for 35 cents. Owned by Frank Herald, one of the nicest men in the world and fondly known as The Senator. He died my senior year (or maybe the year after?), very sad, and his son Kelly took it over. Primary bartender was a goofy but wonderful guy named Mike Duggan, who had the most Milwaukee accent of anybody I personally knew. A few years after we graduated, the Midget burned down.

No chance.

They will be looking up at us just as they are in the standings!

Probably happy that Hurley changed their mascot too?

It was no more than 10' wide if that much. A great place. Centerpiece between the bathrooms that shared a sink IIRC.

U Conn big win was much needed. Don't want one of our signature victories to be sullied .

[Dr. Blackheart]

In KPom, the Big East has edged into the third best conference, inching past the SEC.

I don't mind it Dr. V.   Especially if there was a max height requirement.  Those Great America signs with Bugs Bunny drove me crazy.

Thanks for posting. Holloway is refreshingly candid.

Gotta love this quote tucked in the middle:  "Seton Hall (12-9 overall, 5-5 Big East) has dropped four straight to Marquette (16-5, 8-2), which looks like the favorite to win the Big East as the league schedule hits the halfway mark."

Preach, Jerry.

Yet he would probably be considered the 3rd/4th most important player on the squad by most scoopers.

Therein lies the beauty of this years team
