Article on MU Student Section

[MU gimp ONE]

there are plenty of threads that keep popping up on the board that are old and tired... however, that doesn't make them untrue. 

also, claiming that it's not easy to sneak anything into the BC is a lie.  are you wearing one of your spandex crew suits to wait in line?  my guess is that you were wearing about 5 layers on Saturday and they don't pat you down that well.  plus, when i was a student, we would get in the arena, wait for them to open the doors to the public an hour before, then get up and head to turners.  best of both worlds, got a good seat and was able to hang at the bar till 10 minutes before tip.

so as you can see, the alums are as tired of hearing the students "old" excuses for why they can't drink, as the students are of hearing the alums "old" claims that students today are a bunch of wieners.

Wieners. Excellent.

I have not been patted down at the BC for quite some time. Maybe its because i dont have to wait in line for hours to sit in good seats in the student section. But, a simple way to sneak something in: Where a hooded sweatshirt, put your bottle or whatever in the hood of the sweatshirt and pull the drawstings tight. I have done this on a number of occasions and has never failed me once.

1. love the hoodie idea, never would have thought of that...i usually just put my flask in my pants somewhere (pocket, in the front/back, etc.)  2. i think they only pat the students down, and for good reason...most respectable people who buy season tickets would not sneak booze in...

you would have a hard time sneaking beer cans/bottles in, but hard stuff is really easy...a kid in line at the madison game practically put in a bottle of coke (and whiskey) in his pants in front of security and they let him in...get creative...i had friends tape flasks to their legs for summer fest where you are wearing shorts and a t-shirt and it worked...

I jumped in a little late on this thread, but wow. I've seen enough people being judgemental to those who drink, but it's rare that I see folks being judged for NOT drinking.

I just fail to see any correlation between drinking and being a good fan. I'm happy to see the seats filled regardless, whether you go out pre-game and sit at the top of the upper deck, or wait in line for 8+ hours to get into 106.

I was part of the latter group, and always had a blast at the game sitting down low. I also tend to be a basketball nerd, so staying sober to watch the game with a more analytical view was something I enjoyed. There was plenty of time post-game to go out, and if not, plenty of non-game nights as well. I don't know where the problem is there.

What a tool thing to say.  If you don't drink, you're a bad fan.  If a few cranky old alums like you spend their time thinking about the amount of alcohol that MU's student body consumes, I think you

1.  Need to assess the priorities in your life

2.  Have a boring life and need something else to spend your time thinking about.

Honestly, who cares?

whelp, you cared enough to post...

also is the word tool coming back?  I'll have to remember that so i can work it back into my vocabulary after it has been dormant since the 90's. 

thanks for keeping us on the board up to date with what the damn wiener kids are saying nowadays.

I find that 'tool' can be used to describe many different types of people, but the bigger the noun you attach to it can express varying degrees of 'toolocity,' if you will.

For instance, that guy is such a toolbox
Or if he happens to be wearing a Grateful Red shirt, he may be a tool-shed.

To answer your question, I don't think it ever really died...I know I used it during college and have found myself saying it since and I'm an '06 grad...
