Any insights on Normal?
- Thread starter MC63
- Start date
Hit the Avanti's on Main Street. Order a Gondola. Fill up the gas tank before you return to Chicago. Say hello to homeless Pete on the corner of Main and Hovey.
Pretty sure none of those guys from the 2017 team are still playing. You will be fine. 49-7 final.
Normal = what NONE of the posters on Edgy could be described as (Normal). So I can see why you would need some insight.
MC easy win.
Would’ve been more embarrassing if you showed up at Normal for the game 🤣
Illinois State University, gondolas, Pub II cheese balls, Fell Hall, Kappa Tappa Brew, 105 West Willow, Joe’s Towing, Mother Murphy’s, The Cellar…
... 99 East Cherry then 200 Mulberry St., U Lick, LaBambas (when it was good), firebombed Phi Sigma Kappa on Kingsley Court, the Virgin Vault, a White Dude named Taco who was the campus dealer ...
Lived at 99 East Cherry from 96-98. We had a fire that knocked us out of there for a few months in August '97.
I think this one is closer than many think. Normal has some high level athletes on offense.
We were in apartment #4. Thursday night after hours, Friday and Saturday parties. Three kegs for about $160, packed 200 in there and charged $3 a head - we lived like kings, second semester freshman year - spring of 1992. During the Rodney King Thing, there ended up being a shooting in the parking lot. That same night someone lit a couch on fire and sent it down the elevator in Watterson.
The cops came to us on Sunday afternoon and told us point blank, "This is not happening next year. We know it's the end of the semester - but do not even think about doing this again next year."
The place was trashed and we filled the walls with empties when we did drywall repair. Because I was a freshman, I was required to stay in the dorms, so I moved from Tri-Towers to Waterson. That roomie went home every weekend so I had my meal plan, a nice clean bed, and privacy for the little honeys that fluttered around.
GOD - life was sooooo good!
We also lived in #4 and did the same damn thing hosting keggers and making bank! And you said it, man, my life at ISU was so good. Good stuff!
That was MC pre-Jordan Lynch. No comparison to today's MC.
Yah, that dreadful pre-Lynch era, when they only won 11 state championships.
Looking at scores alone
- I am trying not to subscribe to NFHS and there is no videos online that I can find on them
It appears to have a really high powered offense
and had a defense that was able to keep their opponents under 30 points
they won 3 titles in his first 6 years and give up an avg of 20 ppg this year, 13.5 last year if you're looking at the scores alone
Pub 2 Spicy Cheese Balls and Brewhas (cash only) $5 beer & burger basket. Fiala brothers is good too as well as Maggie’s.
There used to be a street gang in Chicago that hung out on Normal Street in the Back of the Yards. They called themselves the Subnormals. Sounds like they all went to ISU.
Not discounting that at all. But before Lynch showed up, the program had gotten to a point of MC leaving the Blue division....which would not make them comparable to today's program.
