They can't trust the students to hoist the flag?

 

[michlady77]

because students are not tgere often till after kickoff

ML - there was also the Harvard Yale one a few years ago, where they switched the instructions so the cards spelled out "We Suck"

I hope someone pranks this one. I hate nationalistic garbage.

Seriously? I don't recall that WE were ever late for kickoff, ML. Were we?

 

[Michchamp]

Kids today are terrible, Byco.

Back in the day, they were always on time for everything, never did drugs, never drank too much, always did their homework, and always respected their elders.

and if you go back even further... they were even MORE punctual, harder working, wholesome, pious, intelligent, sensible, bla bla bla.

You can't prank the flag. Just can't do that. Especially not for your personal "edification."

 

[Michchamp]

what if... al qaeda switched the cards so it read "Death to America"? You'd have to admit, that would be kinda funny.

Even that old college prankster George W. Bush would have a chuckle when he saw that.

These kids today, all they wanna do is party and screw.

taking this reasoning to its logical conclusion, the hardest working, most punctual, sensible, and hardy human being to ever live was a caveman named Thag, who was born back in 50,000 B.C. Every human being since Thag has been a disappointment.

now i notice very few
students there even ten minutes
before game

as for flag, this is the football game where we are honoring veterans

Thought so, ML. Seems that Michigan Stadium was filled before the band took the field BITD.

C'mon, MC, get it right. His name was Thug and Ghoulston is a direct decendant.

I thought GROIN_ATTACK was a direct descendant?

Isn't he Ghoulston's brother?

that's only because back in the day, the rules against boozing inside the stadium weren't enforced.

these days, kids have to make sure they get enough of a buzz to last 4 quarters before heading to their seats.

my friend's dad told us that they used to bring a keg INTO the Big House, and sit and drink all game long.

Of course, when you have that sort of convenience, it's easy to get there on time...

The only rule about drinking in M stadium when I was a student there was that the alcohol could not be previously swallowed.

What illegal kind? Pot possession was a $5 misdemeanor.
