I too visited this establishment during this time. Nickel nights w/ the Simpletons. Got into a big fight one night and was never allowed back.
Reasonable chance I was nearby when you got booted. Rarely didn't work on Thursday. Made a ton of money (college standards) tending on nickel night believe it or not. Drunk college kids giving me $1 for a nickel beer or liquor drink.
Have an old "BEER me" shirt still around somewhere.

Nowhere Bar is where the Oddessey used to be and that was one of the better dive bars until the Roadhouse got going. Not sure when Sky got involved with that one, but the new owner is in his late 30s. Seems like an OK dude.
The original Sky's Place was in the Days Inn or whatever it was which is the hotel between Broad and Prince just behind the SAE house. It was a dive Bar for sure. I had the pleasure of removing a very young and drunk up and coming QB who started Winter Quarter. He was 17 at the time, drunk, and challenging Sky to throw him out and making refrences to Sky's personal prefrefnces, I know this sounds crazy, but even though there was a huge scene...no one called the police and we made sure he got out without getting arrested or having Sky kick his arse....

Coach Kasey found humor in wearing this shirt to winter workouts, Ray Goff not so much.
