One of the very few benefits of going to BC, a school that has no idea what a real college football atmosphere is all about (people aren’t allowed to tailgate more than 3 hours before the game,) is that they barely search you at all on the way into the stadium. I’ve attended almost every game during my time here equipped either with 2 Poland Spring bottles filled with Jim Beam, or 20 oz Coke bottles filled 1/3 of the way with bourbon or rum. Of course that led to trouble during the Wake game this year when I ran into my freshman-year roommate on the way back from the bathroom and we proceeded to stand at the top of the aisle for 15 minutes openly drinking the Jim and chasing it with Coke out of a can that I’d also brought in (what, like I was gonna pay the jackals in the concessions stand $20 for a Coke?). Got kicked out midway thru the 2nd quarter but was back in the students section for the start of the 3rd.

Um, isn’t “250ml” barely 2/3 the size of a can of beer? Must be lacking in other areas if you can fit that comfortably in your boxers. *wink*

Our game vs. Toledo this year was another reminder why I love northern mid-major football… In and around all the layers, I had stashed as many beers as I could hold. I never did get to them during the game, but they helped out afterwards when we found someone had raided our tent and stole all the coolers.

dbldomer: that’s exactly what we did pre-flask. Soon they’ll be called ’stadium-sized’.

Ironically, vodka and diet pepsi is my favorite hi-ball. Got any phone numbers of unattractive Irish gals you’d like to pass along?

I had a hard time picturing a head coach, IN KENTUCKY, drinking vodka and Pepsi. However, vodka and diet pepsi is the preferred drink of unattractive irish girls. It’s true.

What kind of scotch are you drinking in half gallon denominations? Ohh…you’re one of those nice caring girls that makes sure everyone has booze and puts on sunscreen. If it weren’t for kind souls like yourself, I would have spent many games fending off a severe alcohol come down and frostbite (replace sunscreen with scarves).

And that stupid “Go, Go, Go!” song by the UGA band isn’t so stuipid when you yell out “My bour-bon needs Coke! Coke! Coke!”

Going to CFB games with no alcohol in your body is like non-alcoholic beer & decaf coffee: nearly pointless and a hell of a lot less fun. If they don’t like such behavior at CU games, then those persons should just transfer over to BYU. Hell, you can’t even drink caffeine over there.

-Orson: I was chuckling/cursing you about your comment about my frequent posting on your site due to work downtime yesterday when they instituted the new Web Monitoring software that blocks 99 and 44/100ths of the internets. Fortunately I have figured out how to circumnavigate its’ authority and get back to spending 1/2 my workday reading about football & football.

1) Plastic 750 of Jim Beam. Just tuck that sucker under your shorts/pants, between your belt & your belly, and untuck your shirt/jersey/sweatshirt/jacket and you are set. Takes some self-confidence that you won’t fuck up and “drop” it, but the plastic bottle is much less succeptible to the slip than his glass brothers. Also, that is what the walk to the stadium is for: practice. Jim has accompanied me to damn near every stadium in the SEC – never had a problem. And the pom-poms that many Southern schools seem to be so fond of have a plastic stick/base that is perfect for mixing your giant Souvenir Beam & Coke.

2) Schnellenberger prefers Makers Mark before/during/after practices & games, and his “Pepsi” is Maker’s & Pepsi. That’s straight from a good frind of mine who played under Schnell-Dogg at Louisville.

That is all.

Camelbaks are too obvious; bottles get confiscated. I stand by my friend the floppy flask. However if you absolutely HAVE to get violent, it has a nylon strap that’s about two feet long. I suppose you could strangle someone if you were in that much of a hurry. Or you could do what my drunken brother did at the San Jose State game and just start pissing on people’s feet in the crowd. Classy family.

That can of worms? Already open! At the Syracuse game this year, a senior (i.e., of legal drinking age) student was ejected for blowing a .12 at a random check on his way into ND Stadium. Apparently they were using .08 as the limit, implying that you need to be just as sober to drive a car as to watch a football game (?!?). Even the usher admitted that the guy didn’t seem drunk, and was in fact quite polite. To cap it all off: it his last home game ever, and it was Syracuse–of course he was drinking!
