Missing the Huggie Bear!!!
« on: August 13, 2019, 03:00:35 PM »
Ran into the West Virginia Mountaineer basketball team at Newark Airport today. Was waiting in the TSA lines with one of them. They evidently were traveling overseas for their every five year international trip.

Me:  Say hi to the Huggie Bear!

Ballplayer: Are you Mountaineer fan?

Me:  No, but we miss him!

Ballplayer: Are you from Cincinnati?

Me: Hell no -- Marquette!!!

Ballplayer: Yeah, we really wish we were playing in the Big East. We miss it.

Me: We miss Huggie too! Wink wink!

Both: Laughing!

Wondering whether TSA pre is an unlawful benefit to college athletes under TSA rules? Do universities provide TSA pre to all students? Or just student athletes?

Was in West Virginia recently and they love Huggie Bear on the local sports talk radio. Went to one of his hangouts for dinner.

Anyone can signup and receive TSA pre. It is $85 for 5 years. Many credit cards will cover the cost and so will rewards programs.  Universities will host signup and interview session on campus.

Departments can pay for SA's to have TSE-Pre

I always thought TSA Pre was also dependent on your frequency of flying. 
If you fly frequently and never caused a problem, they would give you TSA Pre.
If you infrequently fly, perceived as a greater unknown, hence, regular security.

I’ve gotten TSA-Pre for free a few times now, and I don’t even fly that often.

Probably because you look so harmless, @1na?

(The trips can be taken every four years.... only once every four years... They went in 2015... 2016 no 2017 no 2018 no.. 2019.. yaaaas.... so, they've now gone twice in the last 5 years.... and, I think their trip overseas wrapped up on August 11th.. not sure where you were flying out of, but would think they would have been heading home)
Thanks for ruining summer, Canada.

Very possibly. They could have cleared international and were looking for the domestic arm of their flight.

I was flying out of Newark Liberty International Airport.

How could the player miss the Big East?  They joined Big 12 in 2012!  This is a very dubious account to say the least.

The players might prefer to play schools in conference that are fewer than 800 miles away.

Hey, it could happen. I was just talking to a University of Chicago player who was waxing poetic about the Big Ten.

You can miss something you never had -- like, say, money, or as another poster said, wanting to play schools kinda/sorta in your neighborhood.

So in that case I miss Raquel Welch.

yeah, who doesn't miss one of the dirtiest coaches in the game who also recruited and protected criminals on his team?

No, but Thuggins sure did (and CUSA and the GMC with us) You’re actually defending him?

I failed to use teal. No intent to defend Thuggins, simply a swipe at Izzo.
