Seriously though, you are butthurt.

Anybody else sick of list articles on the net?
They seem not well researched and they are filled with ads and distractions.

Yes. First I checked to make sure I was not on a Scout property. Then, I still concluded that I was butthurt.

had to have been 06 or 07 i think (nice ninja age outing move btw)
-
I think the last time I was in rustys was like 7 years ago
-
i worked there for about 3 months until sam took me into rusty's office so that rusty could accuse me of stealing from him
-
They must really suck at business. I remember when their KC location had $1 Thursdays, where everything on the menu was a $1. :ROFL: Thanks for the free food/drinks.
-
They had 99 cent cans on Thursdays in the Ville that we always thought would run them out of business.
-
I used to go in there quite a bit but it was never a first choice. Frankly, there was always overly schmacked dudes in there looking for a fight. I once had some completely wasted dude who was like 5'6" ash his cig on the top of my head.
When I left Manhattan in '03 only last chance and Joe's Tap Room played dance music. I've been in there exactly one time in 14 years.

One time on a sunday funday there, my buddy and I were almost killed by some crazy military dude. He came and sat at our table and talked about killing ppl and then would give us super weird looks while he was doing it. Weirdest day of my life. I really thought we were about to get killed just for looking like preppy college students.

I always thought the MPs that walked around with the RCPD should have just posted up there. There were only military issues at chance and Silverados.

Rusty's was just a gross place.
-
So is this being chalked up to just poor business practices, low customer traffic, etc., or did something else occur to ownership & Rusty's was a financial casualty?
-
I went to Rusty's quite a few times when they had 25 cent burger night on Thursday (35 cents for a cheeseburger!) You usually had to show up around 5 to get your order in before they ran out of burgers. Smash about 6 of those tiny little baby burgers plus a basket of fries for another dollar and that was a pretty cheap meal.

Rustys was gross

Being gross was one of the great things about it

True. So is it closing for did someone not stupid buy it?

Fitz has been tweeting like business is down overall in Aggieville and more closings are soon to come. "Getting too corporate"
-
best/only fond memory of Rusty's was after Wooly's Go Cats beat KU in Lawrencetucky, everyone kinda went to Rusty's, patio was lit, they were understaffed, so people were bringing in cases of beer from the liquor store, probably 50 or so people just chilling on the roof, Willie came down there, someone did the KSU thing across the street on top of O'Malley's? fun stuff
-
Wow, meow meow. We partied there together that day! I got on top of rusty's roof and led a K-S-U chant.
-
Is that when you knocked up a girl?
-
Potentially! Those cargo shorts tho!

I think there's another thread on here that might have all the ownership status answers, but I see this article from the end of 2015 saying Wilson had sold followed by one from summer 2016 in which he's still referenced as the owner. I'd been under the impression he hadn't been the owner this past year or so.

Didn't he have to shut down a few years ago because he wasn't paying taxes?
All signs point to being a horrible owner
-
that's why the "unforeseen" made me lol so hard
-
The IRS has, unexpectedly, requested payment.

Taco Tuesday with 99 cent all you can eat taco buffet w/ $1 Corona bottles - for when you didn't have the $12 to do steak night at Rocky Ford Tavern

so is it going to just be a change of ownership or will they gut it and make it something new :crossfingers:

That may have been me. I jumped in a cat tracker type van with some older bros and we made a couple laps around aggieville. At one point they stopped in front of rusty's and i got on the roof of the van with some people and did the KSU chant.

:surprised: Freshman ben ji was up on the roof with you guys! Prob high fived the fan man and didnt even know it!

I think I had a backwards hat on there. Also, holy freaking skinniness. That's when I was running like 7-8 miles a day. Way too skinny. :frown:

yeah that's why I always called it "Rusty's Last Choice"

:D we called it that too, but just last choice
-
I drank a lot of beer there my junior and senior years. Good times. Nothing like sharing pitchers in the sunshine of a warm Manhattan spring day.
-
We would hit it on Thursday's for the dollar drinks. I'd order three shots and a beer and give the 'keep a 5. We would slam those and move on to where we really wanted to be, and try to do it before some Riley Rats found us.
-
I got kicked out of Rusty's twice by 11:00a.m. on fake patty's day a couple years ago. Then from there on the door guys knew me as, "The Fake Patty's Day," guy.

sounds like the IRS is pissed

being gross is the only thing that place had going for it. I think they were just too big to make that concept work.

I wish I still had my Dancin' In The Desert tee they gave me after the Syracuse game. Pretty sure I got punched in the face right after and got blood on it though. That place was terrible.

see what I mean? they needed to get rid of that whole outback area and just focus on the front patio and being gross. think they would have been pretty successful.
-
To be fair, half of aggieville is pretty gross, they were just the leaders in the clubhouse.
-
Outback was way better than the front bro daris

O'Malleys is doing the small but gross thing the best in my opinion.

Can't get booze at the Lou sorry guys.

I'm old and memory is foggy but was the Lou that place behind the convenience store that served underage and where the old AF bartender would get drunk and threaten to kick everyone out repeatedly?

pickled eggs

That was true like 15 years ago.
-

well sure, but that was also a big part of their problem. if the outback didn't exist, then and only then did rustys truly have a chance. smaller, front patio only, focus on gross. that was their business model and they blew it.
-
Without an outback, there's no bikini contest for Rusty to jerk off too. It was necessary.

They don't want people to be able to see e-ver-y-thing without having to be a patron at their bar.

I also would like to add I will pay real cash money for the framed picture of Wiren giving ISU's QB (Todd Doxen maybe?) a suplex that hung in the Outback

So like I remember the Lou was 18 and over and 3.2 beer only.

You remember 1982?

It was like that in 2002, maybe later.

They started selling liquor a couple of years after that. It really didn't do much to improve the experience, imo.

FWIW I stopped going to the Lou when I turned 21. You guys should have stopped too.

After the 98 Nebraska game the fans ripped down the goal posts and carried them to aggieville where we put them on Rusty's roof.

Yes. It was about the size of the Hay 7 restroom/shower. The pickled eggs though!

Guys one time a frat bro was going to set the record for most Lou pickled eggs (record was 6). He ate one, puked, and fell down. Record safe.
