There is alway the 1919 Kitchen and Tap right in the atrium of Lambeau Field and just a short walk to the Resch - very good comfort food and a great bar. After that there are all the pubs, franchise places, and corner bars in the vicinity of Lambeau/Resch. 

If you go to Lambeau, TAKE A GUIDED TOUR! It's a very well run tour and gives you a great feeling for the uniqueness of the GBPackers.

Sounds like a different thread. But, I can't resist dragging out some family memories.

Historically, our go-to spots for Green Bay nostalgia were Kroll's... looks like Kroll's East is the historic one. Actually... I can't tell. East? West? Looks like they both have some history.

And... for ice cream... was there a Dean's? I can't seem to find any sign of it. Might have been in a neighboring town, not Green Bay proper. Legend has it that my dad's go-to was a marshmallow sundae.

My uncle, RIP, gave tours at the Packer Hall of Fame.

PantherU only scored 56 points against us in the ARC last month.

Well we beat them pretty comfortably the first game and that was with Peters playing like crap. Wouldn't be shocked by a loss, but Valpo clearly has more talent and is way more athletic. Valpo by 12, Hammink 16 points.

Oh yeah, Krolls is where it is at for sure. I hate the packers. But, have to admit, the guided tour is pretty cool. Also like going to the wildlife sanctuary there because they usually have different animals they are rescuing every time I get there. Doors county always a nice trip too.

But first, let's get this w tonight fellas


rink

Reporting from sec 223. Wow do we look like dogshit in the first 8 minutes. And we've put UWM in the bonus already! Man!

rink

UWM getting away with a lot offensive elbows, even a slap to carter's face.

I hope they even out the calls in the second half. This is absolutely embarrassing.

nkvu

So Milwaukee's game plan is have their refs foul all our players out midway through the second period.  Right on schedule.

rink

Tevonn with awful dribbling to close out an awful half.

The officiating is really bad, but we need to play better. We look like a team that has no business dreaming of winning an NCAA tourney game right now.

NativeCheesehead

We. Have. To. Get. Out. Of. This. Conference.

FWalum

 Not only are the referees bad but these ESPN announcers are horrible they have no idea what they're talking about when They talk about players. TEWON Walker, D Walker transferred to Milwaukee,  One of Milwaukee's players was wearing Keith Carter's jersey when he made a three for the Crusaders... and many other gaffs.

The craziest part is the lack of calls Valpo gets driving to the paint, which they're trying to do since the refs are happy with the whistle on the other end. The traveling call on Peters? Oh my god. After a handful of tick tack calls on Valpo you call a TRAVELING??

Frankly, Valpo's defense was terrible, Worst defensive half they have played all year. Sure there were some bad calls, but players were out of position often, Need a much more solid second  half.

rink

Both Walkers with deep 2s, barely inside the arc, with lots of shot clock remaining.  This was our plan coming out of half?

a3uge

Did Darien Walker sleep with the refs wife? Obvious block, goes off on on UWM but called off him... Then the next possession they call a block on Walker. Man!

a3uge

Peters three rims in and out. Ugh. That would have been the dagger.

nkvu

T. Walker should not be shooting the ball. He just has no confidence from anywhere.

rink

I swear I saw tevonn pick up his foot off the line before receiving the pass. Are thes officials processing all their thoughts half a second behind realtime?

nkvu


nkvu

And then commits a charge (which looked like a flop).

nkvu

And then hits a three and 2 clutch free throws in ot!  Maybe THIS will get him going because we need him the rest of the way.  Gutsy win by the team. I had visions of Wright State all over again but the team showed poise and determination to pull it out.  :thumbsup:

I'd say RATE THAT PER OT GAMES but Valpo did just play their first OT game. Nonetheless, amazing defense in the second half with Milwaukee hitting some crazy shots at the end.
