Student Section

[Bravesfan]

The other issue kids will always find ways around these tactics. Breathalyzer sure do not take into account other pharmaceuticals. I'm also wondering why there was an increase of hospital visits and stomach pumping? There is more to the trend then just alcohol. Pushing it completely underground will come to no good. As one poster said, the students will probably just head on down the highway to find a good party. It's what kids that age do. It's what they always did.

And then of course they will all drive back drunk and probably kill someone on I-74 while going 110 mph! Not a good move to completely ban drinking. It didn't work 90 years ago, and it won't work now.

Well that's unfortunate that a Bradley "fan", student or not, would not know that UNI is ranked! I think most would know this, but feel that we won't have a real shot of beating them in Peoria. That would probably be the real reason why some students won't show up, not whether or not they know UNI is ranked.

I have to disagree with you, if you were to poll the student body, odds are the a majority would not know who Northern Iowa is let alone the fact that they are ranked. Now the common fan who follows college basketball may know that UNI is ranked, but the students that make up the student body, not so much. They'll only come if their friends drag them along.

What a stupid move to ticket the non-drinkers! I thought I heard it all until this!

Gotta love that presence on premise ticket that will cost you $375

I just hope our buddy from UNI last year makes the trip again

I flicked that guy off so I bet he is too scared to show up....I can't control my anger, which I apologize for.

Haha I would love to see him come back again, my buddy was ready to fight him and then seemed upset with us because we wouldn't let him lol

Yeah I know your roommates and that doesn't surprise me. I've tried the dragging guys to games thing and it doesn't work if they don't really want to go so I've decided that I'm done trying, only so much you can try before it becomes too much.

I went to school during the just say "NO" campaign of the Reagan years. Did it work, NO! I really want to know what the wisdom is spending all that money to have cops try to baby sit college age kids? I hate to say it, this is typical how the mid-west politicians handle things they have no idea on how to address. Let's just throw some muscle at it, enforce the hell out of it and who cares about the ramification or budget it effects. I loved BU and had fun in Peoria but I was so happy and those were years that are not even as policed as they are now to get out of that town. I bet you there are tons of other more dangerous drugs on campus that students are indulging due to this alcohol crack down.

Intelligent control would be wiser then a para-military state. Would I as an adult walking down the street with a brown bag drinking out of a container be stopped by the Peoria police?

Somewhat on topic...

Maybe people are right that the university needs to do a better job promoting the games for students. I just got this in my inbox:

Men’s Basketball vs. Drexter at 7:05 p.m. at Carver Arena.

Whoops.

Whoops.

They must be one of those "new" D1 teams in the upcoming "Great West" conference, featuring teams like N. Dakota and S. Dakota St.!

You are right in that most of the students hardly know anything about N.Iowa or most of our other opponents because for the most part they are not sports fans.
I went to Pekin from 66-69 and back then the sectionals were played at the fieldhouse on a tues. wed. and the final on fri. night to sell out crowds of 7200, now they play elsewhere and are lucky to get that many fans for the whole 3 days, students just don"t go to high school games like they use to so they certainly are not going to go to college games , they just are not into sports like we are for whatever reasons.

I hope BU starts marketing the tourney soon. I know most kids at BU have at least one friend from the St. Louis area, and what college kid would pass on some good ole home cooking and a road trip? Too bad I'm gonna be 4 days away from the big 21 or I'd be splurging on a hotel downtown.

I think the student section should get more creative...it's not just about the basketball that brings students to the game..it's about the feeling of it. If it's more fun to be there rather than just standing and watching more people would come. JMO. I've got some ideas if anyone was interested. I feel like one could get on espn just because....lets just put it this way....getting very creative during opponent free throws is always a +

Don't worry, we'll book the hotel for you
