Claims rep's post got me thinking; how many people here attended or graduated Troy State University? Or TU for the youngins.

Winter 97 graduate here.

I attended the Brass Monkey a few times with a buddy that played baseball down there. Does that count?

Graduated 89...Gods Country !

Got my bachelors and masters from there

I went back to school as and adult and got my bachelor's there about 5 years ago.

I will be at the GA Southern game maybe, and for sure at the Texas State game with ole friends. I hope they somehow beat LSU....I said I hope. Man at the good memories I had at TROY. Here's a quick crazy one: One night I ended up at the Double Branch (Beer Joint/Dance hall) not your college hangout place off 231 where all the locals went. I met this local man and ended up leaving the bar about 3am, grabbed some breakfast together at the Waffle House, and he said he had a crap load of land and alot turkeys. We went to his farm house, he gave me a one of his shot-guns,and at sun up we were in position. I shot my first turkey that morning. I later found out he owned Troy Cable Vision back in the day....way on back. RIP Bogey Freeman !

Cummins, I killed many a brain cell in the double branch, and from what I hear it is pretty popular with the college kids these days.

Johnal3, If there was a place called the brass monkey in Troy it was way before my time. We had Tony's, Harvey's, the Front Porch, Cheers, and the double branch back in my day.

Brass monkey is in Livingston ain't it? Home of UWA

I remember Cheers and Ms. Mary owned it and the Country Kitchen at the time, I THINK? Been a while.

Brass monkey is in Livingston. UWA is there. LU for us old farts

Huge brain fart for a second. It was Livingston. Carry on.

What years?

I believe you are right. I haven't thought about her in years.

After the Country Kitchen shut down, two sisters opened up "Two Sisters" down 231 South....good country cooking ! Another good spot to try is Half Shell Oyster Bar & Grill right off 231 in TROY.

Been there done that once

Casey's was about where the Ward's Yahama place is. Damn good beer joint in the early 70's.

That's the one I will never admit to having tons of fun at.

I attend the Half Shell everytime I have an opportunity

Didn't go to school there but a bunch of buddies did.
Used to go down on weekends and tear it up at the front porch, or back porch.
If anyone remembers the phenix city boys stopping traffic and lighting a half stick of dynamite in the street in front of the pi kap house, well, so do I.

My Dad played football and graduated there back when they were the Red Waves.
