Fish

I think this tradition is totally lame.

[quote Dpperk29]the way to get fish in is simple. Have one person go first, make sure they LOOK extremely guilty. while security is checking them, they have a tendency to let the other 7 of he friends who look innocent through without any trouble.

Just make sure someone sneaks a fish in for the Decoy to throw.[/quote]

Thank you for the tip.  Why don't you do a test run in your barn first and let us know how it goes.

here's a suggestion.  Make sure you come to the game with a woman.  Then when they don't frisk her and try to frisk you, insist that they are violating your rights!  Sex discrimination by an institution receiving federal funding!

Of course, this would just get you some nasty words from the staff as they don't let you into the game.  But it sounds funny.[/quote]Either that or they'd just frisk the woman too.[/quote]

My favorite way to sneak in fish was to tape them around my ankle, wear a knee high sock and then come into Lynah using crutches. They never will go near your ankle since they are assumed you are injured.

The best part about this strategy is that after the game you are walking out carrying crutches as the ushers look befuddled.

Gotcha the first time you wrote this.

[quote Beeeej][quote jdonofrio]I am a freshman so after getting this email I thought they would be real strict about the fish but after reading your comments it seems they do this just to appease the NCAA.[/quote]

I would say that they don't do this just to appease the NCAA.  I'm sure they also do it so that people aren't completely surprised - and have no real basis for complaint - if and when they are prevented from entering, or thrown out, or whatever.  It's multifaceted ass-covering.[/quote]

In other words, their lawyers made them do it.:-)

Stuffing the fish inside my shoes (essentially walking on them) was a little gross, but 100% fool-proof last year.  The security staff never even used to think of checking shoes, and last year, they just briefly glanced down to see if anything is sticking out.

Then again, this also gets pretty gross (not only the feeling of walking on fish, but the smell of your socks afterwards)

As others have mentioned in replies to your posts...you're new around here, aren't you?

[quote RichH][quote Beeeej]My favorites have been the odd stuff like boxes of Mrs. Paul's, bags of Swedish Fish, plush fish toys, etc.  Don't see much of those anymore.[/quote]

Probably for the best.  Unless those things are all packaged somehow, they all are horrible for the ice conditions.  Frozen fish sticks shatter and the breading goes everywhere.  Swedish fish are pretty nasty as they can goo up the ice much worse than fish guts.[/quote]

Hence the boxes and bags I miss so much.

Well, you've certainly convinced me.  Well argued, sir.  Can't imagine anybody will be bringing fish to tomorrow night's game after impenetrable, unimpeachable logic such as that.

I like the idea of bringing them in tonight for the game and finding a good place to hide them.  Just make sure to put them in at least one ziplock or they will stink!

If I had my way, there would be 60 minutes of fish throwing, and the refs would swallow their whistles in admiration of the piscine blizzard.

Why bother with fish -- it sounds like you'll be able to bring a concealed weapon in sometime soon...

There are those little ledges underneath the benches...the ushers never really look under there during post-game cleanup
