Tortillas?

September 14, 2005

Ok Pre-emptive bitching is ok.
But I can see the post game posts now....'How dare the security guards not allow us in with this. We had to leave it at the gate or walk ALL the way back to our car"

If they don't let me in with mine I'm going to eat them all right there. Then I'm going to do my best impression of John Belushi at the cafeteria in 'Animal House'.

Ok, that was funny.

I can see both sides to the argument. It is a fun tradition that has started recently, but would you like to go around and pick all of those up afterwards especially if we did a lot of scoring??? I think that the reasoning behind banning the tortillas is the mess (since we are not the ones who clean up even though we enjoy the action of throwing) and to get us ready for the new stadium since we won't have a track to buffer it.

i've gone full circle on this issue. initially, i didn't like the tradition, in fact, i hated it. but as i've been here (going on my 3rd year) i've come to love it. when we score it gets more exciting to watch the alumni section with tortillas flying and then search the ground for tortillas to throw (i've never actually brought my own). i, however, also want to comply with the rules, so i would have to vote that this tradition end. would tortillas that happen to make it to the field somehow get mashed into our brand new turf? i'd hate to mess that stuff up. and i agree with those who've mentioned that it sucks for the people who have to clean it up... but it also sucks for them to have to clean up the freakin coke bottles and nachos plates that people are too lazy to throw away. last year i was able to go around and collect nearly 40 coke bottle caps from under the stands in about 2 minutes so that i could get a discount on nfl 2k5.

I'm going to make a pre-emptive bitching post and just get that out of the way. I'm already bent out of shape. (It doesn't help with the ladies.) Accordingly:

I can make someone a good deal on a box of about 400 screen-printed ones already bagged in groups of 10. I don't know how flyable they are, since they were made for last year's NOB, but since my apartment is kept at a nice 70 degrees, they might still be good. PM me if you want them.
