dagies Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 You're probably right....those brain cells died. Ah yes, schnapps. I had a run-in with Dr. McGillicudy at one of the Sioux-Bison games. Drunk, stupid, and face-first in a snowbank is no way to go through life, son. Back me up here, TRIOUXPER. You're channeling an experience I had back in the 1980's. It was blizzarding, Sioux/Bison, Grog and Peppermint Schnapps. We made a liquor store run at half-time. I have no clue what the score was. I did run through the Bison band and grabbed a "Sioux Suck" baseball hat off a guy and outran the pursuit down and out the bleachers. (I couldn't believe they were going to denigrate the Native population of North Dakota like that....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdahl Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 We graduated the same year. Me too! The old Whitey's was really my place. Ended many an evening with a burger basket and a few beers. I just found my Premo night pint glass this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found my Premo night pint glass this weekend! I loved the old Whitey's. I was just relating a story recently to someone about how you would get a table on a weekend night. No hostess, just the knowing glances between different parties about who was next and who was getting ready to leave. I still go in for a Riverboat sandwich when I'm in town.

The Whistler Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 The old Whitey's was exceptional. Sunday nights it'd be packed with an assortment of Bikers, College Students and the Grandma/Grandpa's. The only place I've seen where everyone would mix like that.

HockeyMom Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 How could I forget walking from the Antique to Whitey's what an idiot! Had a friend that used to waitress at Whitey's she probably still is- while going for her 3rd Ph D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CtryBoyInMT Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Lived there for a couple of years. Guys used to come back all the time to look at the place and talk about all the craziness. I guess a pool table used to be in the main room. Which explained why the floors were bowed. The Mule Barn on Dyke was the temporary residence of the Pike house!! We lost our chapter house in the Flood. Craiziness is putting it mildly! I feel sorry for anyone that had to live there afterwards. There wasn't much of a house left!

Goon Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 The place was a dump. But a BIG CHEAP dump. Sweet. Kind of remind me of an old bar named Bottoms up in Bemidji before it was raided by Law Enforcement and shut down, I can't remember what crimes were broken but it wasn't pretty. So smokey you couldn't see the other side but drinks were dirt cheap. The place to be every weekend. I also loved the old antique, used to go there after work before it was taken out by the wave/flood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagies Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Most of my growing up was in Milbank SD. Learned to love watching hockey with Sodak Sioux Fan in his dad's electronics workshop. Dinky tv, drinking Miller ponies every time the North Stars would score in the playoffs. What fun! Left for Fergus Falls for a couple of years, then to UND just on time to learn about college hockey and the Hrkac Circus. There's a reason 87 is the number on the back of my game jersey (graduation + championship). Now, I'm embedded firmly in the "Maroon Zone" in Gopherdad.

Tommiejo Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 That's because we don't look old. Dagies you're right on that one. It's not how old you are it's how you feel that counts. I should know i'm over 50 & i don't feel it at all. Furthermore, I both look & feel like someone in their early 40's to be honest with you. GO GATORS CHOMP ON OHIO STATE ON JAN 8.
