52 is a nice number, but do they sell beer there? Particularly Dixie beer!

It's that time of year to get on my high horse to complain about the NCAA being on their high horse about drinking. Big stinking deal if beer is sold at an event. Do they think the fans are role models for the athletes, and since the fans are drinking, the athletes will go out and drink? I honestly believe that the NCAA thinks this way: "Here is an arcane reason for doing something that will irritate normal individuals, so lets adopt it." Who died and appointed them the moral leaders of young people and fans?

Time to water my horse, so I better get off now.

p.s. One of my favorite jokes:
Q: So, how do you pronounce the capital of Louisiana, is it "Nawlins" or "New Orleans"?
A: Neither, it's pronounced "Baton Rouge"
