One way to get around this could be to print your student ticket off... then the "normal" barcode scanners would work on it and you could presumably go in any of the entrances. Someone should try this tomorrow

I had a printed ticket (not a student) and while going in the west door the person scanning tickets specifically asked if i was a student.. so i'm guessing you cant even with a printed.

Even if you answered "No"?

She asked before she scanned it. I dont know what would happen if you actually were a student but said no.

Starts out as a thread about drinking in public, turns into a thread about which door to enter Hilton through. Keep it up, guys, and we won't stay highly-ranked on the "best party schools" list for long.

Tailgating in the parking lot may be treated quite different from standing in line on a sidewalk or steps right by the building. That said, being discreet in line should be fine.

I think the whole "asking for permission" thing is going to knock us down a couple spots anyway.

I typically bring a liter of Beefeater into every game. So, yeah... I think you could get away with drinking on the steps.

Buy a Coke at Kum & Go, dump half of said Coke onto pavement. Refill with Rum. Repeat if necessary, dispose of when done.

I am sure the state patrol would completely agree.

No one knows. Students never go to games.

The most important thing when pregaming BBall games is to bring a flask. Your buzz will not last.

the only good thing about getting older is i can afford to put good whiskey in my flask instead of five star. see you all tomorrow and im excited to see giant georges in the student section.
