OT- St Patty's Day vs Game Day
So the tournament starting on St Patty's day is about as good as it gets. Both are days that are meant to be speant at a bar drinking all day. I only just realized one hicup in my plans.
I planned on getting into my best green St Patty's gear when I realized I also want to support the team (and not that team). Just a heads up to all the folks like me who only think about 5 minutes in advance. Before heading to the bar tomorrow, remember to include some maize and blue amongst all the to St Patty's green to support the team.
EDIT: Others pointed out I am a dumbass and can't read a calendar. Game day on FRIDAY, not to be confused with THURSDAY. Sorry, I was a student during the Ellerbe years and am still relativally new to this whole "having my team in the tournament" thing and jumped the gun.

but gameday is friday...
March 16th, 2011 at 11:01 AM ^
Yeah, I was a little confused about that as well.
For a more obvious reason not to go full on green tomorrow, Sparty's playing.

then my eyes and ears started bleeding simultaneously.

Patrick's day is not even on my radar. In fact, it has always kind of annoyed me. This week is all about Friday.

I'm with you. 12 days per year of ncaa tournament basketball. 365 that present the opportunity to drink.

Is it just me, or does the idea of drinking green beer seem silly? If it was really such a good idea, wouldn't beer companies add the food coloring at the plant year-round?
March 16th, 2011 at 11:40 AM ^
But can't you just drink regular beer in green clothing. That's what I'm planning on. Except that I have to pick someone up from the airport so I'm not actually drinking at all.
It depends. If you are drinking a standard lite beer, there are a lot of chemicals in it already, so it probably doesn't make a difference. However, I wouldn't add that shit to my scotty karate.

I used to work in downtown DC (19th and M) and my 2nd floor office window looked out on an alley that was the ingress to a bar tucked in behind some office buildings (can't remember the bar, but it was a mainstay in Syphilis Triangle). St. Patrick's Day, coupled with NCAA hoops, was painful, because all the hooligans would be raising hell, in my hearing, while I was slaving for the man. I could look out and see the debauchery, knowing I had to suck it up until 5 before I could partake.
That was a painful time for a 22yo lad.

I hate green people.

The more important lessons are:
1. Stay away from Conor O'Neills. They start charging $5 for a plastic cup of beer. Pass.
2. Avoid beer dyed green. After a few pitchers the dye will make you puke.

After a few pitchers, I don't think it's the dye making you puke.
Yeah, especially since the dye is in there at like < one part per thousand.
If I learned one thing freshman year, it was that drinking green beer by the pitcher, taking pulls of cheap green vodka and downing orange and green jello shots made for tremendously festive vomit. Ahh, memories.

Game Day > Patty's day
Never been a big fan of imbibing alcoholic beverages

even if game day wasn't friday, what difference does it make?
st. patty's = go to a bar
game day = go to a bar.
i sense a theme.
MSU DOES play tomorrow.
