I was part of an epic snowball fight in December '84 or January '85. There was so much snow that the University actually cancelled classes that day.

I lived in Clement Hall. The fight lasted about two hours, ranging back and forth across Cumberland Avenue. The biggest battles occurred for control of the pedestrian bridge over Cumberland. I remember two or three KPD cruisers stopping to tell us to break it up. One of the officers was *ahem* brave enough to step out of her cruiser (leaving the driver's side door open) and loudly state "The next person who throws a snowball is going to jail!"

There were about fifty of us standing on or around the bridge at the time. It took her about ten minutes to get all the snow out of her cruiser by the time we were finished.

I remember not being able to move my right arm for a day or so after that fight. It just don't get much better than that day.

Likely someone would have been bare minimum tazed or shot now by Knoxville's finest if that occurred.

When I was a freshman in 2002/2003, UT shut down for snow for the first time in a decade. I was living in Reese in presidential court and a massive snowball fight broke out. It was awesome.

Police showed up within 15 minutes and started issuing citations to anyone caught throwing a snowball, said something about there was a law against throwing snowballs.

Beacon ran a story within a few days about an incident in the 80s where a girl was killed by a thrown snowball or something to that effect.

Anyway, after we couldn't throw snowballs anymore, we all stole lunch trays out of the dining hall and went sledding down the Hill. Good times.

guess now we will read on ESPN, USA Today, and any other service that all UT football players resisted arrest, were handing out beers to everyone, and were all underage and sent to jail......
On a side note, i may have missed it, but has CBJ come out with the punishment yet on the original party?

thanks

back in the snow storm of the early 90's, I pulled UT football players around campus on the back of my bronco... we had a bunch of giant mixing bowls and pans we got from our Fraternity house kitchen and had a bunch of ropes tied to my back bumper and pulled everyone. Even had a lazyboy we put skis on the bottom of and one guy rode around in the chair pretending to read the paper.... good times. Oh, and then the next day my Bronco got stolen out of our Fraternity lot and was later found in a Chop Shop that got busted by the FBI two months later in Maryville..... Uh, good times?

When I lived at Gateway Apartments near campus, we got a mattress from a thrift store and pulled it behind a truck around the parking lot. Ours didn't end so well. 3 of my friends got ran over by a Jeep on the mattress. Although we ended up spending the night in the ER, they were fine, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Side Note: The Weekly Hangover printed our story so it would live in infamy for at least a few weeks.

I remember a news reporter taping the scene on the field...or trying to and people I was trying to get in the shot....then suddenly a dude ran up with the camera off the goal post I believe and started screaming, "It's mine...It's all mine....wooooooo we're #1!!!" Then ran off with it up the steps of the stadium :eek:lol: :eek:lol: :eek:lol:
