Rockys is the best forever and always. Though, losing Greenbush certainly hurt. Apple fritters back in the day we’re choice to start with.

Jordan’s gets the UW band to stop, but I can hear that across the street.

One contended is the afore mentioned regent street retreat (whatever it’s called now). Super cheap, strong drinks from what I can remember.

Greenbush just moved across the street to a larger space.

I know. It just isn’t quite the same. The smells at that pre-game were so great. Rocky’s pizza, greenbush bakery, grill outside.

Greenbush has and always will be a gold mine. Also, it's a gold mine for future endocrinologists too... Im sure many of diabetes cases are a result of Greenbush and Rocky's next to each other back in the day. I lived just up the street by the Synagogue during my days there.

I don't even know what Greenbush is. Sounds like I missed out.

You must be old like me. I remember Madhatters...the original Madhatters not the compromised 2nd draft.

[Kerb Hohl]

My first year was the last year of old Madhatters.

In case of confusion, Greenbush is a kosher bakery donut shop but open like all night. In the same buidling as the Rocky's on Regent. So a consistent bar time grab us regent st area liver, plus just very good anytime of the day. Not a bar.

It's not in the same building as Rocky's anymore.

Also, there's a Greenbush Bar a couple blocks east on Regent that makes solid italian food and good pizza.

I used to live near the Plaza and I still like to stop in there for a burger. And the Parthenon

GYRO FRY!

I was super disappointed in Parthenon when I visited it after arriving on campus 15 years ago. It had nothing on Oakland Gyros in Milwaukee.

Sorry, yea i explained that in another post. Used to be in same building back in people like us glory days. Now in the Regent St apts by Subway

[MikeIsGood]

I truly do miss Rocky's (I was diagnosed celiac ~3 yrs ago). I know it's just greasy pan pizza, but hell if it isn't good greasy pan pizza. And growing up in Madison, it's so nostalgic.

Yes. I was a Madhatters guy. SW Corner of Park and University.

Right?

Haha

Scanner Dan Still Alive?

Scanner Dan Still Alive?

Nope. He passed within the last year or two, but I can confirm he was scanning up until the end.

Well, only 8 non football weekends to go until we see how Regent goes for gamedways now. Have to guess the opener will be a bit nuts, too bad it's an 11 AM game.

In basketball news, I got Maui invite tickets so I guess, as a big Tom Petty fan, I can't back down from going. Now just have to figure it all out. Kinda bad year for it with how unlikely it is the team is very good, but whatever it forced my hand to finally go to Hawaii. I'll take it.

Dawson Garcia leaving Marquette for UNC eclipses the UW closed door meeting by multiple factors, but it do lack intrigue.

Is there something behind the scenes on this one with Shaka?

I just assumed/chalked it up to Garcia having a higher profile/wanting to go to a higher profile school given the free transfer and maybe not being a perfect fit for Shaka.

If this happened 2 years from now my eyebrows would raise a bit, though either way, a UW fan that enjoys the rivalry can be happy about it or whatever.

I think it's nothing more than a combo of the coach that recruited him is gone and that a blue blood showed interest. Not much sizzle, but far more substantial when a potential lottery pick skips town than when Walt McGory's disgruntlement becomes a matter of public record. Or maybe I'm weird.

[xTitan]

Garcia doesn’t really fit the new MU style and what Skaka wants to do, I’m not surprised he has moved on. MU probably has already filled that void with the transfer from OK I believe

I haven't been following this offseason closely, but saw that the #1 player in the transfer portal had left Minny. Gopherhole is in shambles.
