BTN's Tom Dienhart's view on TCF beer sales...

[tjfelts_4]

"Once again, money wins over sending the right message. Too bad."

I think that's a little dramatic for selling beer at a sporting event.

My lovely wife and I having a Summit in the stadium's beer garden before the game because we didn't feel like tailgating that week will no doubt influence thousands of beer starved underclassmen and co-eds to binge drink pre-game, and subsequently, ruin their lives. Sorry kids, thems is the breaks.

Ah, yeah, I'd agree that it's a bit ridiculous to suggest it sends the wrong message. It's not as if people can't get sh*tfaced across the street from the stadium. Or underclassmen in their dorms or at Campus Pizza (unless they started carding finally).

Hey Tom, what kind of message does it send to my 8-year old son while we're walking up to Camp Randall, and students are offering free beer to passersby from their 'octobong' mounted on the roof?

Show me the money. That's what this is all about. The PC crowd will finally have to take a back seat on this issue. Good.

Strange that this was not an issue when the Gophers were stuck in the damn dome and beer flowed freely.

And shame on the legislature for getting in the way of the UM raking in $3M or so the past three seasons. The decision to sell alcohol should soley been the discretion of the Regents and not the micro managing legislature.

We have a bunch of pandering morons in the state legislature. Only in Minnesota would the state legislature go out of it's way to hurt the state university's athletic dept.

Deinhart is just a hypocritical moron. Oh what a bad message it is to server alcohol to grown people in a secure area. All the graft in college football that goes on that's just boy's being boys. What a *&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!# canoe.
