Mad dog 20/20 now that was a grape drink lolIt was indeed. Nehi Grape soda was my favorite drink.......until I got completely trashed on Wild Mountain Grape. I couldn't even smell grape for years without getting nauseous. Good times......not
Friday nights the old man would give me $5. $1.75 went to the old, retired career Navy cook that set up a pizza oven across town for a small pizza (quite good too!), $1.99 went for a bottle of grape MD 20/20, and the rest went to the designated driver
for that night.I remember rolling into the house pretty late one night and having dad saying, "good for you" as I barfed purple cheese into the porcelain alter. Good times. Glad I had them -- and survived.
Hop N Gator at the Jersey Shore! Sometimes boosted with a shot of vodka. Had some memorable moments with my old friends and wrestling buddies.
That's how I remember it.. B&J was too expensive. But we manly men didn't drink coolers anyway, just Bud Light. Oh crap, nevermind.
Hop'n Gator! Man that brings back memories. I had a summer job at the Pittsburgh Brewing Company when they first came out with that vile stuff in '69. Malt liquor mixed with Gatorade.
Interesting place to work. They kept a fully stocked cooler in the break room and you could drink as much as you wanted, which was great for an underage college kid. And the drinking was not confined to the break room. One guy had a job sitting at the machine that withdrew returned empty bottles from their cases. He would drink a 42 bottle case of 7 ounce ponies before the meal break and another case afterwards. He sat on two stools - one for each cheek.
The best beer I ever had was straight from the bottle before it went through the pasteurizer. If a bottle was not filled to a line that a light displayed on the bottle, the bottle had to be emptied, either down a drain or down a throat. (Yeah, I know it was Iron City, but it was cold and it was good.)
This obviously was in the days before OSHA... the organization that later employed me for over thirty years.
Ah, memories.
This board always astounds me as I learn every day. I never thought I would ever see the words USMC and Boones Farm Strawberry Hill wine in the same sentence.
Then when I realized it was used to practice hand to hand combat, it made sense!
Ripple! Used to drink it at PSU. After getting married, my wife and I named our first dog: Ripple. Great punch … light finish.
They still have this "shit" in the liquor store.. I bought a bottle for a party several years ago..
I thought surely one of my friends would be stupid enough to crack it open.. Nope.. I need a group of more courageous friends or ones that cant remember high school that well.

not an upset to me!
Detailed Breakdown of How Aaron Brooks Upset Zahid Valencia in the 2023 US Open Finals
Flagged for "upset."
What's the word? Thunderbird! What's the price? 50 twice!
Along with the other classic, "Night Train Express"
However, me and my high school buddies of the time prefered Colt45!
I haven't heard the name Bartles and James in 40 years I shit you not is that still a thing
I wasn't there, or I would have been stupid enough. Wait, that didn't come out right.
There is no way this will turn into a debate..
Eventually these committees will stop seeding Brooks third. But if this is the result, I’m not complaining.
Joy in motion

I can't figure out how to get the picture on here, but it says that Bartle & Jaymes is the Grandma of White Claw! Haha

Probably my favorite outcome from the US Open. Also, flagged the above clip for "upset" too.
On second thought, maybe Aaron did upset Valencia, just not in the favorite vs. underdog sense.
Did anyone else see Pat Mineo post about the Rainey twins. The smaller one tried to weigh in for the bigger one. Got caught and they dq’d both of them. This raises red flags across the board for these two, their coaches and if the one who won greco ever really weighed in? Interesting 🤔
Red flags across the board? They did something dumb in 9th grade. Let's see a pattern before dialing the drama up to 11.
It was at world team trials, not at the local super trophy event. The one who was way over weight is the USA Rep for greco worlds. I don’t see how this isn’t a big deal. Red flags on integrity and character.
You bring up the integrity and character of 15 year olds often. On an anonymous message board.
Pure genius and it would have worked if it weren't for those meddling kids and their dog.
I'll give them as pass assuming it was a one-time, poorly thought out, adolescent panic move due to a failed cut plan. Then again if more comes out it to indicate they have done it before in tourneys, then the concern ratchets up quickly. On one positive note, all is not lost, they just became even more attractive to Iowa or visa versa.
Was there any consequence for the coach? It seems the “adult in charge “ should have some responsibility in the situation
I’d love to know what Mom and Dad had to do with that situation. At age 15, I couldn’t imagine doing something of this nature without my Mom and Dad weighing in and giving guidance. If those controls were not in place, another red flag. These are kids for God’s sake. Teach them right from wrong.
