A friend of mine and I wore chicken and gorilla suits to the game this weekend against Syracuse. Maybe you saw us... As you can see below, we were fully masked. You may be surprised to learn that we wore the masks all the way from his room in Morrissey up to around the end of the first quarter. We were able to walk past a number of ushers, many of whom acknowledged us, without removing the masks on our way into the stadium and our seating section. We could have been anybody. Our photo IDs certainly did not match our gameday appearance. I'm not particularly serious or worried about threats from criminals in animal costumes, but I do think it's something to think about and, if nothing else, pretty funny.

I've noticed too that stadium security this year is much worse than usual. I usually bring a bag with a bottle of water or something in it to each game. At most, they barely glance in my bag. There could be anything in it. That means there's 80,000 people entering the stadium with pretty much anything they could fit in a bag. So, what's the point in even having security? That's a lot of people in a very small area. If anything were to happen, there could be considerable damage, especially considering how long it takes to empty out the stadium. The ushers aren't even capable of catching students throwing snowballs or drinking during games, so how are they supposed to be of any help if there was a serious situation?
