No Beer??

Where did he go to college? Inquiring minds want to know.

_ Did he make that decision independently or did someone strongly suggest he not allow us to sell beer. I have always been leery of our North Louisiana bretheren who, for local political reasons, could never sell beer in their stadiums. The timing of his decision is also very suspect. If it was a bad idea Saturday morning, it would have been a bad idea 2 weeks ago. There is more to this story than a administrator having cold feet. Someone "persuaded" him to make that decision and I would be very interested in knowing who was behind it! With 41,000 + fans (voters) at a football game people start noticing and you get considerably more political clout. _

I thank you and our visiting Mississippian knowledge of laws for talking with our guys about the situation---this is a freakin' outrage and like you told the administration it has to start with somebody trying to hurt UL---Who put the pressure on???? Why???? Maybe follow the money trail---it just cost us over 110K----Why do I pull against other Louisiana schools??? Just leave us alone!!!!

I spoke to a few friends of mine before the game who are ATC agents, and they had no idea about why there were no beer sales at the game. I will check with them again later this week to get the real story.

I also heard that a certain former governor with strong ties to UL, who's husband also worked at UL, could have made a simple call to make the problem go away. Our administration called her and told her of the situation. So, this certain someone gave us "the finger" in my book, because I was told she didnt make a single call to anyone or even try to get anything straighten out. So, she was no good to us in office and now she has just burned any bridge she had, she is useless and i hope her and her husband stays in BR. She obviously doesnt care enough about our program.

Friday afternoon, the ATC people were at the stadium checking everything out. They said all was good to go.

After 5pm on Friday the head ATC guy said that we couldn't sell beer because it was a catering license that Sodexho had. (It isn't UL selling beer....it's Sodexho).

It's pretty obvious that some politics are involved here. And I'm not a conspiracy theorist by trade, but something smells really strong here.

This may or may not be settled in time for K State next weekend.

So where are all of our heavy hitting alums in politics to help out here? You know, Blanco (already heard one story of her uselessness), Breaux, and oh yea, Melancon, the latest alum we only hear about when its election time. If they can't even get this straightened out what good are they?

Isn't Sodexho the same group that sells beer in the Cajundome al these years? If their license is goo d for the CD why not here? When the first conspiracy theory was raised I wanted to blow it off as our paranoia based on past history but you added input makes me wonder. You know, you're not paranoid if they really are after you.

IF not resolved (it will be) wouldn't it knock out Dome Foam?

So what is the latest news?

If Stevie P read Ragin Pagin (like he is supposed to) he would be a Stinkin Genius.

That is the very latest.

Stevie P acted like he didn't know anything about it, but that's bull. He just hates any talk that could possibly ruffle feathers. There's no way he didn't know about the beer debacle.

Further, I don't personally care if there was or wasn't beer. However, I do get mad thinking about all of the $ we lost out on by not being able to sell. Someone with the Advertiser or another media outlet needs to look into what happened. It should be pretty easy to trace.

The Cajundome runs their own concessions under the name Artisan catering and has their own liquor license. Up until last year, they also were in charge of the baseball concessions, and sold the beer there. Sodhexo now runs the baseball concessions and what ever license they have to sell beer there, should carry over to football. i don't know, but I smell corndogs in the air.
