A lot of you are too young to remember the old Dornblaser days. I'm not too young to remember, so it means I'm a better fan, etc. those were the days when real Griz FB was played. Anyway, what was my point? Uhh, this has happened to me a lot lately...how come nobody changes his own oil any more? No, that wasn't it. Something about Grape NeHi? No. Oh, the snakes. Yeah, at old Dornblaser, a guy could bring all the damned snakes he wanted and nobody could say a damned word about it unless he wanted a knuckle sandwich. My buddies and I would pile the bed of my '60 Chevy cab-high with snakes and park that sumbitch right on the 25-yard line before kickoff. Hey Judy, be a doll and grab me another Heidelberg.
I know exactly what you mean about
Hey kid, don't tell me. In my day, we didn't need a fancy stadium like either of the Dornblasers. We played in Chester "Red" Omalley's field down by the orphanage. In those days, UM students didn't have to bring snakes to games. They were provided free of charge to students by the Amalgamated Copper Company. During homecoming games, ACC's Sr. Social Media Communications Director, Cornelius "Cornholio" Bannon, hired the Milwaukee Road to fill both end zones with snakes. The Temperance Movement and the Socialists teamed up to end these practices. I have a picture of my younger brother photoboming a picture of Jeannette Rankin leading a rally attempting to ban snakes at UM football games. Gladys, would you be a gem and freshen my absinthe?CDAGRIZ said:
Pat-downs and searches of personal belongings like bags are illegal. Grizzly security personnel are not sworn law enforcement officials, just hired university employees. Therefore, no searches of bags (like my wife's) should be conducted by them or the University police because they have no probable cause to believe that contraband is being taken in. Additionally, they need permission to conduct any search. My wife always refuses when asked if they can look into her handbag. Furthermore, booze is not contraband and is not illegible for seizure. Our fourth amendment protects us from all this nonsense, but like lemmings we are squeezed into the gates and subjected to the whole charade. Sorry. It is one of my pet peeves and takes away from the game-day experience.

That is your choice, but they can refuse entry.
I think the question is, do they refuse entrance? I don't agree with the searches either and an armed society is a polite society.

You might wanna take a quick gander at the Game-Day-Policies section on GoGRIZ.com, which you agree to upon purchase of your ticket.
It's their property; they get to make the rules. While it's true that they cannot search your bags if you do not give them the authority to do so, and while it's also true that they have no legal right to seize your possessions such as alcohol, they have every right to ask you to drive safely while you're listening to the game on the car radio on your drive home.
So just be like the rest of us and sneak your damn snakes in.
Ahh!, The days of leather snakeskin bags filled with snake elixer from either Annie's Green Spring or Boone's Farm, cause we didn't know any better! Who remembers the guy who always wore the trenchcoat with the special pockets sown on the inside? That guy often brought enough snakes to open his own business!
I believe you're mistaken, Eldridge "Lefty" Clay, although a fine UM President, had nothing to do with the development of any of the sports facility stadiums at UM. Although, early in his administration, he attempted to talk the regents into building a board track racing facility behind Duniway Hall.Gaeilge1 said:
Red was not only a friend to UM but was a good business man. As an associate of the FSPBs, he knew what the close proximity from the field to Front Street meant. An unabashed promoter, Red also was responsible for providing lighting for the first UM night game when he parked his brother-in-laws taxis around the field as the Grizzlies destroyed the Yakima Apple Packers 6-0. A true civic leader.CDAGRIZ said:
I'd forgotten that piece of UM history, Ursa. Ol' Lefty could have gone down as one of the great UM presidents, but he just couldn't shake his affinity for gambling, or "sport" as he called it. He left poor Mavis penniless when Butch, the Bully of Butte, finally caught up with him to collect what turned out to be his final debt.
What a complete mystery! Lefty was reportedly worth thousands before his death. He left Mavis with only debt and his small Apple watch collection.EverettGriz said:
