Couple of busybodies went to get an usher so we moved seats...drank another beer, then went back to original seats.

Ended up coming back and winning the game at the end...it was great.

We've got some fans who used to think our football games were supposed to be church services. It was common place for an usher to be called because someone was standing up far too much.

Much of that has gone away in recent years. Though we still report the alcohol. Especially when visiting fans bring it. If they don't bring enough to share, than they can't have any.

How is this going to happen in a dry county? Or has Craighead County gone wet?
County option in Arkansas doesn't apply to private clubs. That is controlled at the state level. This is why Jonesboro restaurants have bars.

Private clubs huh? Sounds like a wonderful way to curb competition, and get political contributions.

Politicians never change, open to the highest bidder.

I may have missed it, but neither Jews or early christians had a prohibition on wine. Jesus first miracle to remind some was creating some mighty fine wine. Muslims do prohibit? Hmmm?

Seems it is more christian to partake than not, and more Muslim to not partake.

I did similar whenever we played stAte back in 2011, except I didn't get caught!

Beer at Ragin Cajun events is sold in 16 and 20 oz. Cups I believe

That's correct. Except at the Dome, where they actually get things right. 24 and 32 oz! Oh yeah!

Sounds a lot like Troy. The hand sitters want to keep it small time. They are learning slowly that's not what its all about.


I'm not a Troy fan because of wins and losses.
