Illini Bars

[logjam]

It was was O'malleys.

 

[pruman91]

As far as thread hijacks go this has to be the best though.

" Absolut "ly

 

[skyIdub]

Recruiting is fluid. Duh.

 

[bluemountain]

I drank ( the wall ) somewhere and got a tshirt, can't for the life of me remember the bar. Any help? Lol.

O'Malley's? I was a regular for the MNF quart per quarter club

Progressive pitchers anyone? Friday from 11- noon, 50 cent pitchers, went up 50 cents/hour, until peaking at $2 or $2.50 (this was mid 80's), I remember hustling out of Chem class to get there by 11:55.

Adam Miller?

Not sure Beam and Miller would get along.....perhaps in limited situations.

 

[Tron2010]

5* big man....Jim Beam....smooth, great shot taker

Gets a little out of control sometimes......and can chuck it up on occasion.

On the contrary, the book on Miller is 'great at following shots' and that should help us clean the glass.

i think they get along pretty well, except in B1G situations...

I could definitely see some court time with that combination.

To each there own - I liked the multiple floors/levels of clybournes - but I spent quite a bit of time at Joes/KAMS myself

Cochrane's (not CODs), on Wright North of Follett's. Opened in 78 or 79. Four levels, quiet but not too quiet.

 

[logjam]

House of Chin anyone?

When I was there it changed from Cochrane's to Orchid to Tonic. Wright and Green. It was the most "city kid" bar on campus.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

I was a Mabel's, Murphy, and Illini Inn kind of guy with some White Horse Inn thrown in along with Deluxe for a fish sandwich on Friday

 

[bert1991]

I always felt like Clybournes was underrated

Eddie's, Deluxe, and Mabel's

 

[logjam]

My favorite the Volcano!

 

[UCantHideYer]

R&R !

Somehow I missed that one, but not for lack of trying. Back to recruiting.

So did Kenny Battle since he was in DeKalb and not Macomb.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Under the heading "Boy have things changed," me and my roommate once did a Z to A pub crawl -- starting at Zorba's and ending at Alley Cat. There were only two letters we couldn't find places for -- X and Q -- so we cheated and had a Dos Equis in the La Quintana Motel parking lot to cover both.

OK, back to recruiting.

 

[UncleBob]

With a potential logjam of wings (already have Tevian, Alan, Kipper) to play the 3 and 4 spots next year, and if the staff wants to add two more wings like some have said here, that would make 5 players fighting for playing time at two spots. I don't know why two more players, Archie and someone else similar, would join. I don't know how the staff will sell playing time.
If someone like Patterson or K. Walker joined who might be considered a one and done, that could further deter Archie. Unless he is fine with a "sit-out" type of year.
On the other hand, if Archie jumps to take a spot, might that discourage others such as Patterson, Walker, or even Brown?

This board is truly an amazing group. In about a week we have gone from complete despair with no hope for the program to a position where we may need to decide which two Five Star wings we will have to turn down. All this with a tour of every sleezy college bar in the Midwest thrown in too.

I was in Macomb, I went to WIU. A bar there was called the Ritz, it had The Wall and you got a T-shirt......It was the same time Battle was with IL.....I never said he went to WIU. Geez 1st post in forever and I get incorrectly , corrected. Hail Chief. Back to recruiting.....

Little Kings night.....3/$1.25. I remember when we broke the record for cases served in a night....beating a bar at tOSU which was 650 cases. I think Cochran’s served over 1000 cases. Many brain cells ago...
