Those cut out heads are stupid...

I think the student section is an odd mix of superfans because we don't have a football team or anything, and young ladies who as nice socially as they come, simply don't strike fear into the opposition.  A lot of schools have raffles for basketball tix, etc because of the student body v. student section ratio.  At MU, letting everybody in means the fans who live and die sit next to the riff raff.  But I am by no means suggesting that they should shrink the student section.

* Sidenote: there is an irony here.  In letting everyone rush for seats, you reward those that are there the earliest.  While good in theory (I'm not smart enough to have a better suggestion) this creates a problem.  Its been my experience that the more lubricated I was, the more boisterous I often became. (obnoxious, probably.  but the line is thin)  Problem is, particularly when you have afternoon games, you usually had to decide between 1 beer and 3 hours early or splitting a case with your mates and rambling into the upper deck during the national anthem.  Result - fans who care much less often sat 25 rows in front of you.  Clearly getting excited on BC beers was not an option for the collegiate wallet at $7.50 per.  Life is hard and full of tough choices.

That's why flasks in one's back pocket are so wonderful Burrow. When they pat you down, they assume it's a wallet.  Also, w/ bottomless refills of your favorite carbonated beverage at the concessions, one can discretely down quite a bit of booze if that is one's agenda.

yeah, i just saw that they added a bottomless coke to the menu when I made it back for the Villanova game over break.  quite a boon for the jack and coke minded gentleman.

Back in the days of camping for tickets there was no lack of enthusiasm in the student ranks. Of course, we were ranked consistently in the top 5. Back then, the game started a couple of hours before tip off at the Lanche and then a doob or three en route to the Arena. The feds weren't as strict so you could always get 10 beers inside underneath your parka or army field jacket. Hell, there was a guy from my floor at McCormick who would once snuck a bong into the Arena. It was a game in 77 against Wichita State (we lost!!) I remember him sparking that thing in plain view, right behind the band.

God I hope that story is true.  I so want it to be true.

If you are referring to the bong story it is 100% accurate. I won't mention the gent's name as he is now an attorney of some prominence in Chicago. He is a great guy. He had a bet with his room mate, Marty Costello, that he could last longer without dope than Marty could without cigarettes. Of course, Marty caved before midnight of the first day. We cleaned some primo Matanuska Thunderfuck and listened to the Dead, Europe 72 to celebrate. At the Wichita State game our hero snuck in a bong in an instrument case. He sat with the band and even had the striped rugby jersey and the gay blue and gold beanie cap they wore back then. He waited for the second half as Geishecker only stuck around through the half. When the band struck up a song he would fire up the bong and stand up with the band, swinging the bong around like a trombone. Priceless.

Should be mandatory viewing for all incoming Freshmen.  Better yet, get a bunch of videos together and make it an entire course.  Methinks it should be more than enough to satisfy a Theology requirement.

The student section would likely be SRO even during OOC.

Ahhh a move I taught you so well... you forgot that you had to put the flask BEHIND the wallet in your pocket, having two wallets just looks odd...

Man I wish I wasn't born in the 80s.  Sometimes.

We are in our 20s (last year in my 20s for me) and 15 states have legalized medical Marijuana with a proposition gaining steam in CA to legalize completely.  Being born in the 80s isn't that bad

There is always the option of barnoculars....they hold 8 oz X 2 for 16 ounces and even has a funnel.  Little heavy at first around the neck but the faster you drink the lighter they get.

That's why I had to edit my post to include "sometimes"

But legalization is more of a product of dumba$$ lawmakers bankrupting the country (and needing more tax revenue streams) than it is the softening of the stigma surrounding a plant.

I dunno.  I'd like to think that it's a product of the hippies getting older and playing a more active role in government now that the "Reefer Madness" generation are dying out.

I'll stop the threadjack here.  Sorry about that.

I would venture to guess that both scenarios are lending a hand, but yes...back to bball.
