tdhoosier Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) I can’t imagine alcohol will be that big of an issue for basketball games. Students show up drunk at football games because they are tailgating before. Most students have class before basketball games. I can’t imagine that the beers will be under $10 which will be another major deterrent for students. There will be very few willing to fork out the cash to get wasted at the games. Also, the basketball games are short. They’re not like long baseball games. Unless your dedicated, most spectators aren’t going to throw back more than 3 tall boys….especially if they have to drive home.

Steubenhoosier Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 I think, given our warm up pants, the university should form a partnership with Red Stripe. Would be a great NIL opportunity as well. Serving beer at the games is fine. Hope there are plans in the work to add facilities to SSAH soon. The bathroom lines are already an issue. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really should get Upland to create a Crimson and Cream Ale. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The basketball was so good back then we didn't have to drink to enjoy it. Since the play is worse they might need to serve alcohol to get through the games. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like cream ales as well, but I don't understand the mystique surrounding Spotted Cow. First of all screw Wisconsin. Second of all, Sunlight by Sun King is way easier to get and is way better, IMO.

I never knew a student who drank before or at games back when I was in school. 🙄🙄🙄 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 I'm truly not overly convinced there will be THAT much more alcohol consumed there then ever lol .. it just won't be in hard alcohol form. You know, when you go the troph and there are 4 or 5 shooters sitting on the top, yeah. @IU Scott I solemnly swear to not be anymore annoying at games this year, than I ever was. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on when he'd be cleared to workout again in groups. The team workouts are way more important than the combine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like IPA's, if you ever get a chance to try King Sue or Suedo Sue by Toppling Goliath you should. Great beers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how alcohol makes watching games more enjoyable So you repeatedly have a jerk setting next to you at games. Do you notice this happening at any other group activities? On public transit? company meetings? Family reunions? Dinner at home? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
