That's also a plan. But sometimes grownups like to have options.

See skibum's post. Have you younger buffs not had alcohol related deaths on game day?

I've been trying to think of how best to respond to this, and it's mostly eluding me.
Skibum's plan to forward a "Safety First" message is probably a good one. And I do believe that WVU's observation that alcohol related incidents go down with the sale of beer.
But ultimately students will be students. We can't change that. And for economic reasons--and just because--they will still binge before games and sneak in booze. We can't count on changing that with beer sales. It just is.
I can drink all the beer I want at the tailgate, too. I suspect they'd rather have me inside the stadium than outside it - particularly when the game is being played.
:lol:

I was in Boulder in the 80s.....girls were abused at Folsom by drunken boobs who snatched girls and passed them up by hand through the student section. IMO, that was the beginning of the end of beer sales at Buff athletic events.
That was awesome.
I love drunken boobs.

There is an interesting article and short podcast on the Freakonomics website today about selling beer at college stadiums.
A comment from West Virginia AD Oliver Luck (yes, Andrew's dad), who now allow beer sales at games.
“People drinking far too much at pre-game parties and tailgate parties before games. Sneaking alcohol into games. Leaving at halftime or any point during the game to go back out to the tailgate to drink even more and come back into the game. … They would usually drink hard liquor — ‘get their buzz back on’ and come back into the game for the third quarter. And the police again would know exactly at what point in the third quarter these ‘throw-up calls’ would start to come over the radio.”

He nailed it. Stunning that somebody made a decision using common sense instead of knee jerk reactions to pander to certain interests.
Don't hold your breath...
Is this the same West Virginia voted No. 1 Party School? That West Virginia?
I think a better angle might be: "If the guy calling plays on 4th and goal is drunk, why can't we drink?"
:rofl:
