Back in the Day it was Jack and Coke by the Pitcher through the Student section gate.
Of course we were 1-10 that year.
Evan Williams if you weren’t so flush for the weekend.
Mimosas at the KA House before a 1 pm Kick.
Brothers got beer at the TRI-Band Parties (liquor reserved for dates) with The Choppers and the Teke’s.
Sunday morning= Pepto+Tylenol ground up+tobasco+ raw egg+ this wicked new stuff Ibuprofen. Off to Library to cram for whatever came on Monday.
Now its 1 or 2 Coors Lights, cause Sunday is Mom’s day=NO HANGOVERS (or your ass is grass and she’s the mower)

Ya'll were friends
with LXA back in the day?

Yes
The incident where they stole our cannon and poured 6 feet of concrete over it to make their kitchen was well in the past.
We worked out a scheme with LXA and TEKE where two bands were going at one time while the third was on break (out back passing the doobie). We usually had a Beach Band (or Doug Clarke and the Hot Nuts – "come on girls, show me you’re a Natural Blonde), a new Wave Band, and a Top 40 Band.

Didn't I see Jason and the Nashville Scorchers
in that area a few times?
But they beat the Bear
Mine was Dickel and Coke because Dickel was cheaper, and they only sold ginger ale in the west stands.
Now that I’ve lived in Kentucky a few years and have applied my typical obsessive in-depth study (which I do with any subject I find slightly interesting), I can make these inexpensive whiskey recommendations:
Dickel 12 is still a good choice.
Bottled in Bond bourbons are all 100 proof, so they give you more value for your shopping dollar. Barton and Rittenhouse Rye are great BiB choices. There’s also a Georgia-only Evan Williams Bottled in Bond, with a green label, you’ll find on the bottom shelf. It’s more than good enough for mixing and is really inexpensive.
Old Grand-dad bottled in Bond is exceptional and probably the best thing under $30/750ml Beam makes. It’s great straight or mixed. Don’t let the name, price, or orange label fool you. This is really nice bourbon.
Ancient Ancient Age 10 year old is probably the best value in bourbon, but it’s only sold in Kentucky.
Jack Daniels if you please...
Gentleman Jack on game day, occasionally replaced by crown, starting around 10AM at the tailgate. If starting sooner, ease into things with a mimosa or guinness.
Go Jackets!
THWG!

Maker’s. Or Wild Turkey Honey Glaze. Or Firefly. Or Andre. Or…….you get the idea.

Wild Turkey 101
with coke. I’m lovin it strong!!!
No regrets, that's my motto. That and everybody Wang Chung tonight. - Out Cold
Gotta go with
some mimosas, Jack & Coke, or a little Captain and Coke. I hear some folks like drinking beer too….
Captain Morgan story
then I’ll try to stop.
In the late ‘70s the drinking age in Georgia was 18. During the ’78-’79 school year Captain Morgan was new. Someone, probably the distributor, held an event in the courtyard in the middle of the dorms on the northeast corner of 3rd and Techwood and gave out free samples of Captain Morgan. It had to have been advertised, because I lived in Smith and wouldn’t have gone over there otherwise.
Rebel Yell
Forgot about the Rebel. It was my Grandfather’s favorite (Commerce, Class of 1932) and in 1980 you could send in to the distillery and get a beautiful Red License Plate with the Rebel Yell logo. Sported that on the GTO for several months until it was stolen.

Rebel Yell ain't what it used to be
It used to be made at the legendary Stitzel-Weller distillery in Louisville. These days it is probably made by Heaven Hill. I’ve snagged some bottles from the early ’80s recently and the color difference is like comparing iced tea to Coors.
Old Grand Dad 114
Smoooooth. and a real cork top. No Coke please. Our Kentucky Bros hate the use of Bourbon with Coke, but Sourmash is acceptable if Rum is not to your taste.

My hatred of GT just jumped about 20 notches. That one stupid
Possibly illegal play gave yal that win. Good god that was when we opened up the offense for the first time in 5 years and nearly got that game despite starting down 0-21. Dear CPJ, we are hungry in the Valley

Haha
Your players not being able to count and account for eleven of our players on the field is not illegal.
"Everybody talks about SEC speed. The 27 fastest guys at the (NFL) combine, how many of them were from the SEC? Three. But if you say it enough, everybody will believe it."

"You could spend the next fifteen seconds of your life watching a man and a tiger scream together, or you could be an idiot."
Fact.
Your complaint would be more valid
had not Clemson tried (and failed) to run that same play in another game.
Dabo complained after the game to the ACC
ACC ruled that the WR never decalred his position on the field (I have no idea what that means, though I think it was because he essentially was on the sideline, and was behind the sideline ref). Lots of hand waving, lots of hand waving.

If my memory serves me right
He never left the field, just went near the sideline. I also recall there being an “illegal” Clemson play that was also not called.
Having rules against “plays that attempt to confuse the other team” are moronic, that is why they are called trick plays.
Complaining to the ACC places Dabo right along side Beamer on the list of whining losers who need to man up and take the loss when it is given

If my memory serves ME right
Word on the street was CPJ asked the referees about the play before the game. Meaning he didn’t do anything illegal by their books, and therefore didn’t do anything illegal.
Also, yeah, Clemson pulled that shit later on, so they can quit their bellyachin’.
Yes, the refs are almost always told about trick plays
so they don’t call them wrong. They knew Tech was going to run that one.
What is the standard deviation on the number of comments
when liquor or beer is the MAIN topic of the original post? Way above the bell curve.
