Favorite NON-Basketball moment at Moody
Posted: Thu Apr 02, 2015 10:16 amfigured since there have been some fun stories over on the football board, and there's not much to really talk about i thought i'd share a little anecdote from my younger, dumber & drunker years.
First let me say that this was not by any means my proudest moment, and if it had occurred in the current collegiate/greek/sensitive environment we live in, I probably wouldn't have finished my studies at SMU. It might even identify me to anyone who's heard the story, but oh well, i think most people on here know me anyway.
So, after a few too many drinks at the Green Elephant to get the day started (now the Barley House for you whipper snappers) and a trip to the liquor store, a pit stop to have a few more drinks, and another flask went in my trusty red wing boot to smuggle into Moody. Mind you, i liked to make the occasional wager on sports back then (this plays in later). I was with a couple brothers of The Order, and we were a little verbally abusive(i prefer "passionate fans" but that's splitting hairs) in the first half, so after being removed from Moody for Public Intox, and issued a warning, i quickly ran and changed shirts and put on jeans and returned to the game (and to the 32oz Beam & RC cola that i had hidden under the bleachers before i was nabbed). stayed to the end, and in a time out w/ about 30 seconds to go, CSU was up by about 7 (and i had SMU +5) i felt compelled to swiftly make my way into their huddle on the court and explain to them that i was fine with them winning, but would it be possible to only win by 4 or less.
that didn't go over well w/ the CSU coach, or the SMU Security (i think it was officer Norris), and my earlier warning turned into a student affairs incident. earned me some hours in the SMU Print Shop, and a letter of apology to the CSU coach (i think it was Ritchie McKay - i really wish i had saved a copy of the letter) but the whole thing luckily was swept under the rug and I have a fun story to tell my kids someday, AFTER they graduate college.
