Iowa State's Athletic Department in Trouble Financially

Anyone remember a dive bar in the old stock yards called the Bull and the Bear back in the mid 90s? We used to run by it all the time on training runs and it looked like a place to hire a hitman. But, we decided to stop in one night. They didn't ID and the beer and food were so cheap. We hit that place hard for a semester until the cops finally raided the place one night. God I miss college!!!
 
"HA. What under 21 yr old hasn't had that happen at least once?"

Well, I never did, but that's because...
* I grew up in the early '70s;
* the drinking age then was 18;
* I had very long hair and a gotee of sorts by the time I was 16.
* Never got carded once from 16 on...

Of course, lived in Waterloo, which may have had something to do with that.

PS: Egads, how many people on this site grew up or live in NW Iowa??!!

Yep, it was on Leech. Now that little shack that used to be a bar is boarded up and a guy runs a muffler shop and fast eddie used car place out of the even smaller sheet metal building next to it. My guess is that bar is used to store mufflers, catalytic converters, and illicit substances. The county recorder website shows it's all one property.
 
Modest Proposal. Keep the sports that don’t make $$, which are the only “college” sports left. Football/Basketball already bring in enough revenue to do so. Greed sucks.
