Random Thoughts XI (Eleven Pipers Piping)

Isn't the sebolts from there? Not real famous but known in the Iowa wrestling circuit.

Yeah, they are, although I am far more likely to know about Mack Garner, the jockey, and Himie Voxman, the clarinetist, than anything about wrestling lol.

Back in the middle ages when I was at ISU, I know if you were female, you wanted to avoid the wrestlers. I lived in Towers, so we lived with the football team. Some of those were a little scary too. One of them pulled the water fountain out of the wall on first floor Storms.

So I went to school with the likes of Crutch, John Quinn, Larry Crawford, John Arnaud, Vinny Cerrato, and Shamus McDonough. Too old for any of you younguns.

Pretty sure I was at ISU at the same time as all y'all with the exception of Boxster (and maybe Carver). What do I win???

I recall Shamus quite well from going to the games as a young 'un. I'm pretty sure he was carried off the field about 7 times a game.

Also, based on the above post...Carver left right about the time I arrived.

When I lived in Towers, the football players had a counterfeit ring going. That was pretty special. Walden had tried to build a team the Nebraska way, by getting players of questionable character from California. He didn't quite have the influence over law enforcement in Iowa that Osborne had in Nebbie.

I still miss the IHOP that was on Welch when I was a student. Welch Ave Station was The Library, the Cave Inn had these hideous "wine coolers" for a quarter that they served in plastic cups with crushed ice and some bad red wine like Mad Dog 20/20, and whatever convenience store at that intersection now (Kum & Go maybe?) was a 7/11.

Left in 1983.

They seemed to be able to select items at 7/11 without going through the hassle of the cash register when I was there.

Arrived in 83 (ex accepted faculty position then). I didn't hire on until the following year (Aug 84).

Were you in the first class when it became co-ed?

So..........is your ex still a lecturer at the college or at least was as of a month ago?

Oh, lordy I had forgotten those godawful coolers. I did remember the Wednesday night 25 cent Buds on tap.

Also remember some guys in booth with me at the Cave Inn roughly sliding mugs down the table and grabbing them before they hit the wall. CWW#1, not to outdone, literally flung her mug into the wall with resulting shattered glass flying everywhere. What, you thought "crazy" was something I made up?

I arrived fall of '85 and was in Ames almost continuously until '95 when I decided I had better get a "real" job.

I graduated a semester early in December 1982, but kept working my crappy Ames jobs to save money for grad school that spring.

Not quite. My older sister pretty much was the only female in any of her computer science classes.

Was closer at Notre Dame, started grad school 11 years after they first admitted female undergrads.

Before her time, first coed move was fall 1970. Winners were guys from Dana House (me) that got moved from Wallace to Birch. The losers were the poor gals that got moved from Richardson Court to that ******** towers complex.

That mug sliding was a thing at the Cave Inn. I remember the quarter draw night too and they had some ladies night thing, can't remember if that was the quarter awful wine coolers or what.

Looks like we have a 1974 - 1979 coverage gap.

One of my brothers started that fall in the Towers but not a coed floor. The people on the coed floors when I was there seemed super nerdy for some reason. It really wasn't a big deal the way the floors were set up at Towers. I basically had a coed room when my roommate moved her creepy boyfriend in.
