I love that I tweeted out about Bristol buying more than half a million beers for the game and the overwhelming reaction is "NOT ENOUGH!!!"— David Hale (@DavidHaleESPN) September 8, 2016

If this guy had kept the bottle beneath the bottom frame of this gif, this would make an excellent response to all the hot Emma Watson gifs that get posted.

I agree. I even had that thought as I typed the previous comment, but then considered how often I hear "nearly" used in such a manner when describing "a lot" of something?.

There will be plenty of kids under 21 in attendance, and bring played in the Bible Belt, I'm sure there will be plenty of people in attendance that don't drink. I'd imagine when all that's factored in, the beer drinkers will be able to have 5-6 beers each. Enough to get properly lubricated but not enough devolve BMS to Morganhole levels.

That was my initial reaction but then the nerd in me kicked it. Forgive me.
ASSumptions
-half of students are underaged or don't have good fake ID. deduct 15,000 (swag). Couldn't find confirmed numbers of VT and UT students.
-1 in 10 of remaining 135k are legit kids. deduct 13,500.
-1 in 4 (of 121.5k after removal of kids) is the DD and will only have 3 beers (ha!) at the game (121,500*0.25*3 = approx 90,000 beers. leaving 450,000 beers.
-Remaining 91,000ish people available (after lightweight DDs take their spoils) to house some overpriced domestic light and colds. 450,000 beers/91,000 people = "nearly" 5 beers per person.
For most people at stadium prices, after a long day of tailgating your feathers off, that sounds about right. For most people. :-)

Deduct the 1 in 150 that don't make the game cause they miscalculated their pregame consumption and have passed out in a pile of empties before kickoff.

I had a friend who, after a long day on Bourbon St., made it into the stands with us for the Sugar Bowl vs Auburn, to promptly pass the f out before kickoff and stayed that way until we nearly had to pick him up and carry him out

"This guy" happens to be the one and only Officer Rod Farva of the Vermont State Highway Patrol. Whats up boomdiddlies!
"I dont want a large Farva I want a goddamn litre of cola!"
All the pictures in the article are flavored water, where are the beer pictures?
Still just seeing flavored water...
Thank you for illustrating my point :)
Hype train is full bore...logical thoughts are out the window for me at this point. Too pumped.
Flavored?
Well, discolored, minimally at least.
Piss flavored?
Aaron Torres, how is 545,000 "nearly a half million"? Seems "well over" to me, with the degree of wellness being rather subjective.
He must have went to UVA...
"Nearly" could also mean "greater than" too. Subjectively.

Hmm...guess they didn't think you guys wanted any...
545,000? Hmmm, I guess they think that the Tenn fans won't want any
So, at 150,000 fans, they bought enough for 3.6 beers per person....definitely not enough.
Put on BillDozers Power Hour and Hokies crush all that beer in 1 hour.
I'll stop at the store, don't sweat it everybody.

beat me to it. see VVVVVV
That's just to wash down the 'shine.
I took that into account, although my numbers didn't reflect it.
I stand by my statement.

truth
The only thing that would have made that better would have been if the officer was poseing like some big game hunter haha

That works out to be just overy 3.5 beers per person for the lazy. Definitely less then the Tennessee fans will need.
So at BMS concessions prices, they stand to make about $10 million in beer sales.
Does anyone else see BMS and immediately think Blue Mountain State?
I see it and think Blacksburg Middle School.... talks of that project are etched in my brain
Yes!

Have you seen the movie?
I love cocaine!!!! .....and boats!!!
I miss it even though I've seen each episode 7-8 times

Rumors of a season 4 are picking up steam.
I think Bowel Movement Stain...
just me?
Be More Specific...I've graded a lot of exams
Wade Boggs would crush 64 of those on his own.

Maybe so, but he takes bananas on boats. So, for that, he's DQ'd.

How dare you besmirch Mr. Boggs.
What banana? All I see is a scale.
Also the fish has funny lips. May eat the scale. 5/7, would heckin catch
Rest in peace, Wade Boggs
Huh?

Can't a man wish for another man to enjoy an undisturbed afternoon nap?
I believe he's referencing the Wade Boggs episode of Always Sunny, where Charlie keeps thinking Boggs is dead.
indeed
