Holy shit. We continue to miss the mark so poorly.
Duquesne advertises $1 beers.
Because everything we do is unoriginal, forced, unorganic, and a poor replica of what we see others do, we too are doing a beer "special"
Why. Why do we suck so so so sooooo hard.
I get it. Beer prices are exorbitantly inflated at arenas. People buy them. It is what it is.
However. To act like you're doing people a favor. Making a "special" and still charging a 700% mark-up above what it would cost a consumer at a packy is so far off base I can't even begin to describe it.
WHY CAN'T WE DO ANYTHING RIGHT!?
I never see PC doing a "beer special" they just charge what they charge, give it to you fast, and go on with their lives.
If you're going to do something "special" do a $1 beer. Or don't and SHUT THE FUCK UP.
STOP SUCKING SO HARD WHY DO I LOVE THIS PROGRAM SO MUCH WHEN ALL THEY DO IS SUCK AT EVERYTHING.
We wanted a beer night.
We got a beer night.
UConn did a beer night. Who cares if PC doesn’t?
Who cares if we weren’t first or the cheapest.
You won’t find much cheaper, if at all, than $5 for a 16 oz beer at a restaurant or brewery.
It’s better than nothing.
There really can’t be anything to complain or get that angry about.
I know this is your schtick - like you just take a point and argue against it because you have nothing better to do, and I appreciate that.
So I can't tell if you're being intentionally obtuse to satisfy that point, or if you really believe that a "beer night" is a "beer night." That's like saying "post season basketball" is "post season basketball" and claiming the NIT and the NCAA are the same thing.
But the latter is my problem because that's how the brainiacs around the Ryan Center think.
And if you weren't so deep into your schtick, you'd agree with me because I think you and I agree on the core problem with the majority of the URI fanbase is that they base everything on how it seems relative to Kingston, RI, and not to the outside world.
So this is one of those scenarios where "it's good because it's special that URI never does anything like this" instead of "wow, they really have no concept of reality and the outside world of arena management and game day experience down in Kingston."
Just like the people who act like we got a practice facility so there are no more excuses because Jim Harrick "recruited Lamar Odom out of a trailer" instead of recognizing that just because URI is doing more than they did historically, doesn't mean it's "enough" relative to the upper echelon of the college basketball world that we claim to care about being a part of.
