Attention Chicago Ducks

I wrote about Witt's Bar & Grill last week in my "The Story of Witt's" FanPost, but it seems I spoke too soon. The Chicago chapter of the Oregon alumni association is changing the venue for our football watch parties. The manager at Witt's has moved to a new bar in the same neighborhood, "Rocks". He invited the Oregon crowd to make Rocks the new "Oregon bar" in town, and he pledged to continue taking good care of us. (Meanwhile, Witt's stopped flying the Oregon flag outside and is flying an Iowa Hawkeyes flag instead.)

Rocks is similar in size and layout to Witt's. It is on a side street, so the parking situation is a nice improvement from Witt's. Rocks has a great selection of beers and liquors, and good food too. They have 8 TVs. It's a 10-minute (or less) walk from the Diversey Brown Line stop, and bus stops on Ashland, Lincoln, and Diversey.

Rocks Lincoln Park
1301 W. Schubert Ave.
Chicago, IL 60614

Hope to see everyone at Rocks on August 30th!

Spread the word

I was a little worried about leaving Witts, but I stopped in to check it out with Jason and Jared and I really like Rocks. Plus, as of right now, were the only alumni association associated with the bar. I’ve not seen a solely Pac-10 bar in Chicago before so that’s pretty cool. I really hope word gets out because I’d like to see everyone fill up rocks like we filled up Witts.

So if you post on another Ducks message board please help let the other Chicago fans know where to go.

Rocks

While we were always treated well at Witt’s, I am looking forward to checking out Rocks. I hope to see all the usual Chicago Ducks on August 30. Except for Brad, who’ll be busy embracing his inner hippie at Burning Man.

If you go say hi to Nico for me

He’s doing a marathon of college football that day and will likely be in a friendly mood -
Nico can you wear a flower in your hair so people will know who you are?

Flower

Should I go with the usual daisy or something new?

You boys should probably take this off-line

Before we get into “too much information” territory.

I NEVER KNEW

I had no clue that there were so many Duck fans in Chicago this is the third time this week that I have heard about Uof O fans there.

Surprisingly this deep into Big-10 territory, we’ve got quite a stronghold. I moved out here with a group of 10-12 Ducks in 2000 and there have been more that followed us out since.

Shame

This year would’ve been fun, seeing how Witt’s always used to fly dual Purdue and Oregon flags. But, erm, I wouldn’t have been there for it (my wedding is that very day).

So if I marry a Duck, does that make me naturalized to the state of Oregon? Do I have to give up my orange t-shirts and coon-skin cap? Or is it the opposite (please don’t make her grow buck teeth and find a newfound respect for NASCAR)?

Go Ducks. Go Vols. See y’all Saturday night.
