East Coast Aztec Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 It's tacky, but if they need shirts... This would probably lead to some fights if this was Bama-Auburn or OSU-UM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSF Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 When Tuscaloosa was waylaid by a tornado 2011, Gene Chizik rounded up the Auburn football team, piled them into busses and headed there to help with the recovery, unannounced. Later, alums from both Auburn and Alabama organized a charity flag football game to raise money. It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean327 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I think it’s funny as hell. Nothing more than using humor to try and lighten up a bad situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonkee Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 was anyone injured enough from the blast where we can't make fun? Serious question, don't know. I mean if people were hospitalized with life altering injuries than no, save the rivalry smack for something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were released the same day. Honestly it could’ve been a lot worse than it actually was. thelawlorfaithful, on 31 Dec 2012 - 04:01 AM, said:One of the rules I live by: never underestimate a man in a dandy looking sweater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugtang Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Just now, toonkee said: totally. Apparently there were two maintenance guys working on the boilers when the explosion happened. They didn’t suffer serious injuries either. thelawlorfaithful, on 31 Dec 2012 - 04:01 AM, said:One of the rules I live by: never underestimate a man in a dandy looking sweater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruininthebay Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 You've gone too far when you rent a helicopter full of manure and fly to the other campus to dump it on their mascot but otherwise you should be good. Watch the updraft if you do. https://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-usc-ucla-pranks-timeline-20181116-story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the joke comes from resentment that they were forced to stay home for college and miss out on the campus life experience, unlike many of their Vegas peers who were schedule to live in Argenta...

TheJackel Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Honestly it’s a poor attempt at humor, unsurprising from the nerds that now make up the Rebellion. If it was funnier I doubt people would be as upset. The outrage to the tweet though makes it seem like this explosion was worst tragedy to happen in the history of UNR.

I'm not a campus historian, but I can't really think of anything worse that has happened. It sounds like the building could potentially be condemned and forced to be rebuilt. It was the center of on campus life with the campus dining hall and home to 750 students. Our campus is already way under capacity for student housing and this will make the crisis much worse.
