I'm at Total Wine and I see Ol' Dirty has a school branded beer now. It really grinds my gears that the one we had ready to roll out was cancelled.

Oh, I absolutely did not buy or drink any

 

[BaNgMyPrOgRaM]

I'm sure you didn't.

Of course the Monitor didn't really battle the Merrimack, by then it had been refitted and rechristened as ...
the Virginia.

I don’t think we were. School themed beers existed before. No one raised heck over it though like with us. Given our frats getting bad spotlight for hazing deaths and recently some other stupid things doesn’t exactly help the matter.

The frats being responsible for hazing deaths is why heck was raised about the VCU themed beer. Adam Oakes was killed by alcohol poisoning and VCU thought it was a good idea to sponsor a beer like 5 minutes later. I'm sure if they did it now there wouldn't be an issue.

Yep. If we did this during the prime years everyone would be just be like look at VCU with its havoc, the passionate fanbase and now even their own beer! The timing was tone deaf.

Actually if I remember correctly, it's because of VCU MCV and Health having in its mission statement to not harm people, and alcohol is a poison that harms a lot of people. The hazing was also part of the pushback.
