Michigan alcohol sales and ACC Spring Meeting

From more on the inside...

Liability is everything and #1 concern.

1) You have students who are idiots and the higher-ups don't want to encourage them to drink more... act dumber. I laugh at this because we all know they are going to drink anyway and money goes to local businesses instead of WSU.

2) The number of people driving home after the game with some super late hours would also add to drunk drivers on the road. Again... stupid to me because you shouldn't blame the seller... blame the dumb ass buyer. Rule of thumb... don't be a dumb ass.

The 2nd level of concern is regarding image. WSU already is a "party school". Instead of accepting and showing that partying and education can go hand in hand... WSU strives to quiet/change the image. Alcohol sales at the games by the school to where everyone gets at it gives a bad image.

I don't care if we go Bud Light image for the next 10 years.

Get the damn money! (It's purchased/sold everywhere else anyway)

Actually, WSU was really close to having this done, allowing beer & wine on the south side. I think it was just ahead of 2018. But, WSLCB shot it down at the 11th hour. My understanding is that they said there wasn’t sufficient control in place to prevent underage drinking…even though the control level would have exactly matched what happens at other sport venues.
WSU has swung more conservative & risk-averse since then, so maybe wouldn’t have continued beer sales anyway, but they came close.

I still think they’d make a small fortune selling ice cream in the stadium. They really don’t even need to ask permission for that, and at this point a couple of grabbers would probably make me just as happy as a couple beers would. Although, they’d probably jack the price of the grabbers to $8-10 each…which would reduce my enjoyment of them.

And they’ll get him cheap because they can’t actually pay an accused rapist to play football. At least not immediately - once he racks up 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns all will be forgiven.

WSU's leadership has been pretty inept on the alcohol sales front. I honestly don't understand it.

Appreciate it Loyal, but writing for Brand X or Brand Z is probably above my pay grade. Those sites have thousands and thousands of subscribers and followers. They can afford to hire the best.

Apologies

For some crazy reason, when I see Pres. Schulz's name or picture, Sgt. Schultz from Hogan's Heroes immediately comes to mind.

But then I forget to correct the spelling.

Michigan alcohol sales and ACC Spring Meeting

L
The Allmighty Loyal One multitasking again.

Michigan to allow alcohol sales in 2024. The ESPN article says that 55 of 69 Power 5 teams sold alcohol in public areas last season. So where is WSU and wunderchild Anne McCoy with this languishing move? And do the mutts sell alcohol?

CC's 3 day Spring meeting wrapped up, and topics (link below) included a robust discussion of expansion out West, including the West Coast Pod concept. Oops typo. Nothing of either topic was reported to have had any discussion whatsoever.

Phillips optimistic despite FSU, Clemson lawsuits

ACC commissioner Jim Phillips said Wednesday the pending litigation with Florida State and Clemson is "disruptive" and "harmful" but it has not changed the dynamic between them as the league wrapped up three days of meetings.

IMO all of Riley's recruits have been quality recruits and from this laymen perspective not much different Smith's. Especially considering the situation. Hoping we can still get that "go to player" as presently we seem to have a team full of roll players.

Really don't understand the Vavers hate compared to the excitement for Watts. Both played as freshman for similarly rated teams (EWU net 142 to Quinnipiac net 160). MAAC and Big Sky are similarly rated conference and both teams won their conferences regular season title but had disappointing post season. Both player played a key role for thier teams as freshman and stats and minutes play were not that much different. Different players though. Watts is more of a tweener Swiss army knife and Vavers a sharp shooter. I think they compliment each other and along with Isaiah Watt form a trio of 24-25 sophomores that will be fun to watch.

There are probably better comps, but Vavers shooting reminded me of Moses Wood (dub). A bit different overall as players with Wood seeming more athletic with longer levers and able to take the 4. Still, similar freshman minutes and shooting stats. Vavers averaged under 18 minutes per game and shot a respectable 37% from 3. Even though his 2FG% is low (43%), he still had an eFG% over 50%. Need more than shooting, but you can never have enough of it.

Good points on comparison to Smith's recruiting. Vavers is a good compliment to LeJuan Watts and Isaiah Watts. All 3 (plus Wynott/Wilson) hopefully are rotation guys this year which means Riley still has some work to do. It's "only" May.

Thanks MI. If, when, hopefully I am able to get it, great if it is a gem, but even if not gem, with problems, as long as I can get it down there, live in it at a RV park, etc, then while it wouldn't be perfect, it would be ok for me, even if not ok for others, as it would be a start, and a blessing to be closer to my daughter, and a hand up, not just only a hand out, and that I worked hard for, and the grace of God will make up the difference, where I would probably be short, and provide me with a opportunity, that I can take good advantage of, and it would feel good to be a vehicle, mini home ish owner, etc.

I just need a break, opportunity, and hopefully this is that opportunity, and God will provide that opportunity, if I meet HIM halfway and work, look, etc, in HIS time, whenever that is, whether now or later.

Thanks for the support, hope, encouragement, etc, from you, others to keep trying, etc.

If I do get it, then I hope I can make it to a WSU baseball game in it, and have a tailgate party that anybody, everybody here invited to, if they want to go, participate, celebrate, etc, as a vehicle, mini home ish warming celebration party, etc.

Hey all Great News, I finally found a RV in Spokane, that I can afford. I have 6k in bank, and RV cost $5000.

It was on a Craigslist ad.

The back end, edge where end, side meet has slight warping of fiberglass, and Lamination fading, peeling.

And there is a slight leak on top of the Slide out. He says I can either fix it, or have slide out, slid in to avoid leaking.

He was upfront, honest in ZOOMED in photos of the slight problem areas.

I once owned a 79, 40 ft 5th Wheel that had leaky roof, that I fixed by getting cans of sealant paint, and painted, sealed whole roof. I sold it for $850, paid $500.

I'll have 1300 left over in bank, after taking out, if I take out $5000 to buy the RV. I have a place to park it, either in my unused apt parking spot, or at friend from church who said I can park it there, in exchange for them being able to use it for their family reunion.

So in about 3 to 9 days after the guy gets over his cold, a friend of mine who knows a lot about RV's, is going to give me a ride to bank, get a contingent $5000, then inspect the RV, then if still want it, immediately buy it, immediately give him the money, fill out the title transfer paperwork, immediately hitch it up behind friends truck, tow it to either my parking spot, or friends place that lives near Ford, then try to fix leak, throw RV cover, protector over it, continue to save for months, then either pay a company to ship it down there, then catch a plane down there, or pay a friend about $1000 to take me, trailer, my stuff, to RV park, down there, park me, drop me off.

I'm doing it that way, so that another buyer, doesn't swoop in and buy it out from underneath me. I don't want to take a bus, inspect it, then arrange to buy it another day, and then find out that somebody else bought it. This way hopefully that won't happen.

Also I'll have to find insurance, pay for minor repairs, continue to save, etc.

If everything works, etc, then $5000 is a great deal for it, as no RV that cheap is perfect.

He says he wants to upgrade, and needs money for medical bills, so he wants to quick sell it, and hopefully help another person enjoy it as much as he has.

I hope it's worth getting when I inspect it, and that I am able to get it.

The pictures of it look pretty nice, on both outside, inside, except for the 2 problem areas from up close, but further back, can't easily tell, see, don't notice the 2 problem areas, etc, at least according to what I see in pictures, and he was very honest in both pictures, and what he told me, as he said the Reason why showed the 2 problem areas, in pictures, etc, is that he wants buyers to know what they are getting.

Good find M.I., thanks!

John Wilner says the Pac-12 settlement is "worth in excess of $200M" for the Cougs and Beavs ... but, unlike Loyal — who said the figure is about $125M each for the Cougs and Beavs — Wilner ain't an accountant.

The $6M here from CW-TV (Country & Western music-themed channel?) plus half of the TV money for the "not Apple Cup" should help

Hopefully our admin is doing so. Oregon State is fielding its women's gymnastics team in the Big 12, coming on the heels of scheduling OOC games against Big 12 opponents. Barnes, the Oregon State AD, is on record saying this represents an intentional strategy.

I don't mean to overstate this;

You just did. And Barnes' "intentional strategy" was in regard to FB. No need to infer that gymnastics (also spelled who gives a shit") is part of this. Note that only 8 current Pac-12 schools have women's gymnastics. Men's? Cal and Stanford only. Sorry Dubi Lufi....
