I was only there for the one hockey game where a fight broke out right after the Anthem. It was surreal, like something from one of the early Mad Max movies.
Glad you are still in one piece.
I did go there for many concerts back then. It was good.
Putting it mildly.
That's right where they built the United Center, right? If I remember they razed the stadium and put up the United Center. (Or they waited for a good gust of wind to knock down the stadium and then built.)
WOW! I had my moments on the South Side. The Dan Ryan was a test of both faith and foolishness. Faith that I would get home in one piece. Foolishness that I just might get off on the wrong exit.
Many years ago, we went to the Museum of Science and Industry on the south side, but right next to Lake Michigan. When we left we drove due west to get to 94 north. I forget the street, it was a main drag. even so, that was a terrifying ride, and in hindsight not very smart. We should have made our way north along the lake and picked up 94 in the loop.
Lol, that's the understatement of the year. And it wasn't great in 1980.
That could very easily be a fatal mistake.
Lol, me and my buddy finally ran out into the middle of Madison St. and stopped a CTA bus heading east and got on, practically clinging to the bus driver all the way into the loop.
And that is what is so terrific about Lambeau. I can park west of the stadium on the street or park in someone's driveway for a fee and walk safely to the stadium. No fear. No danger. It would be nice if it was like that everywhere.
Yikes, we took the Dan Ryan last time we drove up to Green Bay (for the Saints game). Unfortunately there's no good way to get there from Indiana.
Maybe next season.
Pretty good point. Who is the last first round pick who really made an impact? There must be one but I can't think of a name. Gary is a bonafide superstar but it took a few years. Walker and Wyatt don't look to be much more than just above average, at least not now.
That's a good list. Well actually it's pretty depressing. Linsley was, I think a 4th or 5th rounder, Lacy second round.
Right. I mean AJ Hawk and Matthews were out there in their first game all the time.
Absolutely.
Somewhat of a surprise. LVN had a somewhat "quiet" successful rookie season.
Wow, I knew LVN had a solid rookie campaign, but 6 sacks exceeded my expectations. I think he'll grow into a force, much like Gary. And Nick Bosa with 14 sacks as a rookie. Yikes. Gotta slow him down Saturday night. Thanks for the chart.
