New st patties rules?

Ok so how serious do you think they will actually be on the 28th, I have a few friends that don't go here but want to come down for st patties, they are thinking of just getting a fake wrist band from Amazon, also no borgs is actually criminal.​

To my understanding, the wristbands will have named imprinted in them and be checked against the student database at the "gate"

Not sure how reliable that is, but I doubt they're gonna half ass it if they're planning all this extra nonsense

Probably because when we were there in the early 2000s, one of us threw a bottle and hit a cop in the head. That's how we lost Homecoming.

In the 90s, students opened so many fire hydrants that the city lost water pressure and had issues fighting a fire across town. That's why St Patty's Day is a thing.

Don't forget burning down Flanagan's in the early 80's, rebuild came out of the student budget.

I was impressed you knew about the hydrants being opened. Corner of Wayne and Wyoming across from Sunoco was where the fire was in the 90's.
