All the controversy earlier in the week got me thinking of an interesting thread
If you attended FSU for ANY length of time, what was the dumbest most idiotic thing you ever did while at school (and would take back if you could)
OK, I'll start since its my game.
Big Daddy's had a "Beat the Clock" night themed party where (for example) you would pay your cover ($5 ?) and drinks would be like $1 from 9 to 10, $2 from 10 to 11, $3.50 11 to 12 and $4 after midnight (or something to that affect)
1983. Summer. It was unusually HOT and HUMID , even for Tallahassee. And one night my buddies and I ended up at Beat the Clock night (go figure) where my friend Jack Daniels and I decided to become good friends.
I have no idea how many drinks I had that night (not kidding but must have been at least 8 or 9), but I managed to lose both a girlfriend and a good fraternity friend by opening my mouth about some things I shouldn't have (and of course, I have no recollection of said conversations, only what I was told afterwards)
I believe that I was so drunk I was thrown out of the bar. I don't recall this, but one friend later told me that he saw me having some serious words with a bouncer, who subsequently (allegedly) told me I could never go back there.
Not knowing where my friends were, I must have thought it was a good idea to fall asleep in the parking lot sprawled out on top of a Cadillac that belonged to some huge black dude who, needless to say, was very upset I had crashed on his ride when he found me some hours later and proceeded to wake me up by dragging me off by my neck and throwing me to the ground.
My friends apparently found me an hour or so later. In the grass. of a parking lot. drunk and passed out.
I remember mostly none of it
Thank God smart phones with video cameras were a thing of the not-so-distant future.
I had been drunk MANY a night at FSU (fraternity parties, Freds Drydock, the Phyrst, Clydes and Costellos, Kens Tavern to name oh just a few), but THAT night was the worst of the bunch.
To this day, I have never been able to stand even the smell of Jack Daniels.
Love to have that one back.
Thank God I wasn't Kirk Coker, Bobby's starting QB that year, I wouldn't have made FSU too proud of me that evening!
