Based on politics, it's more like Talibama

I hope now those who are already intoxicated are denied entry to Memorial before it gets worse. I agree that asshats are the problem, with or without alcohol. It just seems alcohol fuels them. I also was at our game against South Carolina in 2011 (Capitol One?) and there were some annoying drunks there too. Depending on where you sit at Memorial, I agree that behavior would be an immediate expulsion. I'm not a supporter of alcohol sales, but am open to it. It would be interesting to have a trial basis and see how it goes. That would allow attendees to be on their best behavior if they want it to be a permanent addition. Good points, thank you.

I've been to the last 3 games at Minnesota and they sell alcohol and have never seen a problem there. Of course their fans are so nice I wouldn't anticipate any issues. Unlike CU in the 80's when they sold beer in the stadium and the fans were terrible to begin with. Bad combination there.

Staying at the in-laws cabin outside Columbus the night before. Waking up to watch the game and then head back to Omaha to watch the remainder of the good games. I'll be watching the Iowa game with my neighbors who are Iowa fans. I'll be rooting for Miami of Ohio to give them a scare, though I don't expect much from that game.

On occasion I will sneak in my plastic flask (not identifiable by metal detectors) and buy a Sierra Mist or Mt. Dew and mix away. Share with the Mrs. and it isn't enough to get crazy, just for fun. I actually would be opposed to open alcohol sales in Memorial because I know enough people who simply can't handle it, even if it is just beer sales. I've been to enough bowl games to see some pretty stupid behavior by drunk fans. At the 95 Orange Bowl some drunk Husker fans behind us decided they didn't want to miss the game to use the bathroom and pissed in their cup and poured it under our seat, so that pooled around our feet and soaked my aunt's sweatshirt. Pretty gross, and they were obnoxious even amongst supporting fans.

Just hope the ads are not too intrusive to the overall experience.
