Not as memorable as the White Sox Disco night, but still good.

    I wonder what it would have be today to get a result like that. Some places have dollar beer night, but no one seems to get too rowdy. It'd probably have to be a quarter or fifty cents to get a crowd riot ready.

    Of course, given the videos from the upper decks every weekend in NFL stadiums, I don't think they need to sell beer at all. Fans seem to do well enough on their own in the parking lots.
    There's a bar down at the U where they had something like quarter pitcher night. Talk about an amazing shltshow. You would just throw a ten down and the it was basically good for the night until tipping time.

    But all you had to do there the whole night was raise your empty plastic glass up and it would come down full of beer.

      They used to have something like that in Menomonie WI. Beat The Clock: until 9pm, is was 50-cent taps. Then until 10 it was a dollar. Until 11, it was $2, etc.

      And Grandma's (?) on Seven Corners had $1 Chick Golden Light bottles from 10-midnight, on weekends. There were times our group would just give the waitress $30 at 11:30 and have her (literally) bring out the case.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        Grandmas at the U used to have $1 import night on Thursdays, and another bar near the U (can't remember the name now) used to have $1 mixed drink night on Wednesdays including full-on long islands. Calledonia in Mankato had $1 boot night, another had $1 mug night (bring your own, as big as you wanted within reason, I had one I brought borrowed from Glueks), the bar under the What's Up Lounge made full-on Beam and Cokes for $1.25....

          And now we have to "settle" for $7.50 Long Island pitchers (no glass, they just give you a straw) at the Downtowner in Houghton MI.

                        I just now learned that the NFL changed its touchback rule. The ball will be placed at the 25-yardline upon a touchback. That league really does not like watching kick returners do their jobs.

                              There is no helping him at this point. I really think he needs to hit the equivalent of skid row to even have a chance at rehabbing himself. I don't even know if a DWI Manslaughter incident (jail and forced rehab) would help him at this point.

                                Yeah, and he's got family money to protect him. He never had any need of an NFL contract, so long as he doesn't get cutoff by mommy and daddy.
