I forgot to mention the following, given all the excitement related to the big victory.

I noticed someone must have told the security people to look under everyone's hat prior to the game last weekend. As we were walking through the line, I have never seen such focus from a security guy. He was going to see under my hat, and everyone else's too, if it was the last thing he'd do. Same goes for the lines to the right and left of me. Everyone had to zip open their jackets, and remove their hats.

This by itself isn't worthy of a GH thread.

The funny part was, the focus was so strong on what could be lurking under those hats, everything else was completely missed.

Getting my family from the tailgate lot to the stadium is like herding cats. It aint easy. After we had our hats inspected we got to our seats and I look down at my 13 year old son to see he is drinking out of a 1 liter softdrink bottle from the tailgate. I just about flipped out and asked how the hell did he get that in the stadium. He said he was just carrying it in his hand and had to put it in his armpit to unzip his jacket and take his hat off, with the bottle in full view the entire time. That sparked my wife to comment that she too had to remove her cap and was embarrassed to remember that nearly her entire purse was full of jello shots when the security guy asked her to open her purse. He never said a word about the jello shots.

But, I can assure you nobody got into the stadium with anything hidden under their caps.
 

If he would have looked under my cap, all he would have found is an air head.
 


Schnauzer, I love that your wife has a "purse full of jello shots" - you married well!!

Go Gophers!!
 



To be fair, there was a rumor going around that they busted 3 guys in the same group vs. Iowa with "brass knuckles"/"knuckle dusters" tucked in their hats. They were from Iowa. Drunk and stupid. Shocking.

Just like homeland security, they had to check everyone to make sure they weren't profiling Husker fans.

Lesson learned is to just hold your brass knuckles in plain sight, where they won't be seen.

Gopherfaith and several of the (ex-now) player's moms used to have a "bar" that each would sneak a piece of into the game.

Makes me gag. I made a vegetarian gal pal at college cry when I broke to her that jello, one of her favorite foods, was not the least bit vegetarian. I asked here what she thought it was made of. "Fruit?"

That reminds me of another of my history of stories...When I was in High School, I worked at a grocery store. When the rendering truck came and picked up all of the discarded bones from the meat department, I asked him what they do with the bones. He looked at me, smiled, and said, "Think about it the next time you kiss your girlfriend on the lips."
 



I will never disclose where I hide my flask. I can clearly state I never thought of hiding it under my stocking cap.
 


Jello used to have a celery-flavored Jello. We think of gelatin as a desert, but it used to be used for savory dishes. I was reading an old book, published in the 20's that talked about "Calf's-foot jelly". It was a savory gelatin dish. When gelatin began to be more of a desert, where gelatin came from began to get downplayed. There are vegetarian alternatives to Jello, but they don't have the same giggle or cleave as cleanly when you put a spoon into them.

I doubt people are really smuggling stuff in their hats. Smuggling is what boots are made for.

Well then, for your sake, I hope they really don't have "crack security".
 


The problem with the shorts, are how do you gracefully remove the flask, you have to think of easy access.

Once you're inside, go to the bathroom, remove flask, put it in jacket pocket. You're done being checked.

[ninja edit] Also, cowboy boots can be your friend.
 


With my seats I look into the sun so I wear a cap to most games. I've been asked to remove my cap on the way in ever since they stopped the pat-downs.

Why they care and how it helps them, I have no idea. But you can do it as you walk past them and it doesn't hold up the line, so what's the harm? It makes them feel better.
 

Me too..

I too look into the sun and get asked. I always open my jacket and remove my cap as it helps distract from where the flask is. I love they help me. Last year a person older than my 50ish age started to chastise me for no flask till I showed her she should not doubt.
