Does Iowa get some more points, or do the points transfer with Bain to Akron?

i have to disagree with how hard it is to get a ticket in Iowa City. More recently the Iowa City police force will send 95% of the cops working to patrol Downtown during bar time on Friday and Saturday to issue underage drinking tickets as well as public intox tickets. If the players at Montana wanted to deal driugs, they should do so away from downtown Iowa City on a Friday or Saturday night and they would get away with it!

Two college towns that seem prety tolerant to me: Morgantown and Newport News.
2003 or 2004. WVU upsets #3 VT at home. Probably 100 state troopers on the field, protecting the goal posts (before they started fighting the crowd that rushed it and throwing tear gas at anything that moved) Drunk student walks into the end zone, unzips, takes a leak right there, while the troopers watched from about 50 feet away. Kind of a shame we replaced that turf this month.

Also, while drunk at CNU in Virginia, I was arested for trespassing (not public drunkeness tho), my buds drove to the police station, also drunk after 6 hours at a party, and attempted to bail me out. Didn’t get me, but were allowed to drive away rather than being incarcerated themselves.

Re # 29
Tatum, the only problem I ever had in Athens was with the University itself rather than the cops. Had to go through the judicial process one semester for having a minor in my room with alcohol present, but the “charges” got dropped.

And the best place to go at the time for underage drinking was Uptown Lounge, which at the time, ironically enough, was right across the street (literally) from the police department. I guess they figured the cops were out and about town elsewhere.

We’d use the same Finnish passport to get literally 10 girls into the bar in a span of 20 minutes.

Re: #30 Breaking up parties and then waiting in the bushes with a fresh pad of tickets was standard practice in Norman, OK.

However, there was one instance where they must have suspended the PI laws. After getting good and drunk at Chili’s (I know… who gets drunk at Chili’s right?) a friend of mine spotted the giant red chili that sits outside so many resturants. He immediatly siezed the opportunity to be drunk in public by mounting the chili, flinging one hand in the air, and riding the chili mechanical bull-style. ….. then the cops drove by. Nothing ever came of it though.

It is easy to get DiP in College Station, TX, but you can avoid it as long as you know where to go once the bars close.
CSPD has 7 cars; 6 of them are patrolling Northgate (bar district) at night. That means you only have to avoid the one missing one out there on your way home, and you’re okay.
You’re better of dealing with the University Police Department than CSPD.
My brother and I were walking from Northgate back onto campus one Friday night, headed to Midnight Yell Practice, when we were stopped by two UPD officers. Bro was carrying two bottles of beer, one in each hand. They informed he was in possession of an open container, which is not allowed on campus (they ignore this for tailgating on gameday). He replied that he didn’t know, and asked if he could finish them. They said ok, so he did, and tossed the bottles into a trash barrel.
Meanwhile, I was already sloshed, so I just stood there and mumbled incoherently about the team we were playing the next day. The cops didn’t do anything, just told us to be careful, and went on their way. They were nice.

#22:

Bdoc,
Things must have changed in Key West. I was there on spring break in ‘92 and got in to a bar with my fake ID (as my friend in the line next to me got his taken up, no less) and we’re in there for maybe 5 mins, just long enough to get my first beer when two cops come walking through the damn bar, and as luck would have it, straight up to me and ask to see my ID. Again, this is inside the damn bar. I present my fake ID once again, thinking I might be able to pull it off. Long story short, they marched my ass out the front door and down the middle of the main street and into a makeshift booking station. I spent all the next day in an orange jumpsuit picking up trash all over the island. That’s pretty tough in my opinion.

Back when I was in college, I had two fraternity brothers get arrested for public intox for riding their bikes to Taco Bell. At 2:30am… in February… during a snow storm… while wearing t-shirts and flip flops… We only found out they got arrested when we couldn’t find them at 3:00pm the next afternoon.

Just for the record, I didn’t read PeteJayhawk’s comment before I wrote mine, so I didn’t plagiarize those two words.

bhors @ #10 is right; it used to be nigh impossible to get busted for drunkenness in Columbus. It’s a long time since then, so I don’t mind admitting that in Oxford, OH (Miami U.) from ‘87-’91, I racked up one each of: fake ID, public drunkenness, public urination, drunk & disorderly ,and disturbing the peace. So that’s my vote for the easiest.

Getting a Drunk in public citations is nigh impossible at UW-LaCrosse. For BCS schools, K-State makes it tough, as public drunkenness is expected in Aggieville.

Easiest? Normal, IL, home of Illinois State. I have seen the cops stop someone walking quietly down the street in front of the dorms and give them a breathalyzer. Ridiculous. They have also been known to break up a house party and then give the leaving attendees MIPs and Drunk in Publics like crazy.

Orson, You need to ask Paul if he somehow had Mudcat Elmore’s car delivered to Oxford. By the way, during my college tenure I found it very easy to get an underage possession case in Athens. You don’t even have to be intoxicated. They’re still handing those things out like nobody’s business on game day. Game day for God’s sake! I blame our douchebag president, Mikey Adams.

Do we contradict ourselves? Do we use the plural first person too frequently? Very well then on both counts.

Tony Ritz, I was JUST thinking that. Next, Orson will be wearing plaid pants and telling older women, “Hey – I bet you were somethin’ before electricity.”

Auburn gamedays = impossible to get a DiP. Great – now I’ve just jinxed myself into calling home from jail after the Kansas St. Fighting Fax Machine Repairmen game.
