When I first visited The Chug in the fall of '72, it already looked like it had been there 50 years. |

That's a great point. They have not changed the formula of a successful product. There is still stale beer dried on the floor from 50 years ago. And who knows what else.

I think that's what keeps it chugging. It does not ever try to be anything but a dump

I remember the first time I ventured down those steps into The Chug and went, "Wow...is this a dirt floor?"
I still don't know the answer.

Might have been first The Village Pub. I don't remember exactly when branded Mugly's. The Village Pub was sold to Mugly's in 1981 or 1982. The Village Pub was my first bar beer, maybe legal, maybe not. You could carve your name into the tables, walls and the bar at Village Pub. |

Often a lunch spot.

My parents met at The Chug when they were both at BSU in the 70's. Met at one of the pinball tables. Tale as old as time.

The chug is the only bar I visited regularly. I went to a few others a few times, but I went to the Chug basically every Thursday and it’s where I had my first legal beer.

Quarter beer night was the shizz.

Quarter beer night was the shizz. Ahh the chug. Besides a regular visit on Thursday nights, on Monday nights a friend and I would meet at 6 before our night class for $1 pitcher night. Then we'd rush over during the mid-class break and more times than not - we wouldn't return to the class. And my parents wondered why I did so poorly in those night classes. |

Anybody who can last through a night class is a hero. Especially back on the quarter system when classes were even longer. That's a horrible format.

Oh please.................... You are going to tell us, at the age of nineteen, you had so little energy and motivation you found it difficult to sit through a night class. This explains a lot. |

Night classes ion the quarter system went from 6:30 - 10:00 with a 10 minute break, 200 minutes a week. Semesters shorter, 150 minutes of class time. Still too long.
You don't need a pitcher of beer to be punchy.
You are telling me that it wasn't a horrible format? Despite data on what students think and on how performance suffers?
