OT:Drunk kid wants his Mac and cheese at the Union

[intlzncster]

I am on a message board right now that has the fathers phone number, his place of business phone number,his work address, his mothers phone number and pictures and contact information of a friend of his (who is female) who looks pretty damn good in a bra. All these people are now getting harassed (including the father at his place of work) in the name of internet justice. It is a lot more than a public shaming. Others are being brutalized now.

Yup, internet justice is a mud smearing campaign. Sucks.

The Mac and cheese is legitimately probably the best I've had anywhere, its that good.

As for bacon jalapeño Mac and cheese that isn't a thing that exists there...

So your telling me he's delusional?

Late night they let you add toppings. The mac n cheese is amazing.

Sans Gawker..All of the websites I've seen (Courant, Stool, Deadspin, Buzzfeed) have correctly used UConn and not Uconn or U-Conn or Connecticut. I mean this is a huge day for the University. Bravo everyone.....Bravo.

I thought it was UCONN now. Did I miss something?

I thought it was UCONN now.

Yup, gotta keep 'em wondering.

At 8:13 in, the most classic part of the struggle begins:

"Can somebody get my shoes? What the duck* happened to my shoes?"

Note the texting girl in the background? Really, what does it take to get her attention off her phone?

 

[intlzncster]

Just threw up all over my laptop. Thanks.

Head over to the 'sorority girl selfies at the baseball game' thread.

Probably texting friends that they're missing out on what she's witnessing live in the union over mac & cheese.

I'll be back in town in a couple days -- now I have to order one.

Well over a million views in just one day. Kid must be psyched, he's famous!

That video is like the 6-min tracking shot in S1E4 of True Detective.

Looks like the kid is outta here. Would have made him walk home myself, but oh well.

From Barstool.

sympathy for a kid who spits in another's face? This kid may of been "drunk," I've seen a lot of drunk people still have respect for others.

FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING NICE ABOUT ME

 

[Towney007]

If you get behind the curtain of "Residential Life" of most major Universities, you see incredible behavior. Alcohol is certainly a core issue in a preponderance of the bigger incidents. And ... yes ... there is a lot of self-destructive behavior (including many suicide attempts). I am certain that many schools have these kind of guys.

I was an RD at Springfield College (had John Cena as a resident actually) - and was an RA there for three years running up. Then I did four years as an RD at another school.

This is called "Thursday, Friday, Saturday night."Kids on my staff dealt with this stuff constantly. I've had drunk parents take a run at me, a Toilet ripped off and thrown at me, had a $50k drug bust, one of my RA's had fireworks thrown in an elevator they were riding in and I got to hold a kid's brain in his head. Those were some highlights. Student disciplinary staffs are completely useless and are/were more worried about trigger warnings or whatever other ancillary BS a kid can use to cop out of whatever turd he or she laid. Gotta pay that tuition bill.

On the whole - loved the fact that I did Res Life. Def. prepared me for life in a way I don't think anything else could have had - not just from dealing with all those shenanigans, but management, cattle herding, dealing with humans and how most really can't get past what's right in front of them in a given moment. Completely and totally invaluable experience. That also being said - I don't miss a second of it.

Dad probably celebrated thinking he would have a peace at home for a couple of years by dumping him off at UConn. You know feeling like he got over on the University.

Well now its Showtime at the house!

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

If anyone at UConn has any sense -this Mac and Cheese will now be available at all Home Games. A small flip flop stand next door would probably make a killing as well.

 

[Kembacity]

I am really looking forward to the big-head posters behind the basket of this , don't let me down current students, don't let me down.

I can see being embarrassed by the shame this brought to our university, but personally I don't have any of that. Everyone knows there are entitled mushroom caps just about wherever you go, so I was just happy that the video revealed only 1 kid like that. There was no crowd of friends supporting him with awful behavior, there were throngs of nice kids in their UConn gear who didn't want to get into a fight with the kid but didn't want to leave the train wreck either.

We got this gem from UMass?
This makes up a bit for the Camby thing.

This video has now appeared on the local FOX news here in NYC, and in NY Daily News ...

Dr. Phil is next. Do people get paid to go on that show?

The kid is a colossal with a sense of entitlement - his behavior (fueled by alcohol or not) demonstrates that pretty clearly. No need to go into the Union drunk & obnoxious and belittle that manager like that. He definitely should get what's coming to him after this.

That being said, I also hope he gets his act straightened out. Don't want to see young lives ruined permanently because someone happened to capture his latest tirade on a cellphone video. But that's the age we live in now - anything captured on video goes viral instantly. He's the Mac & Cheese Kid in social media now - he's gotta own it. Now take your medicine and get your life together, kid.

No shocker for UCONN getting some love in the NY television market, especially given Mac & Cheese Kid's a Long Island punk. But, the video's appeared on TV, online, etc. in all corners of the world. Now, that's B1G exposure.

I finally got sucked into this whole mac-and-cheese thing. Three quick observations:

1) I want that hour of my life back.

2) If smartphones had come out during the time I was in Storrs, I'm pretty sure a bunch of us here - myself included - would've seen the inside of Enfield or Niantic at some point.

3) From now on: whenever UConn and UMass meet in football, they must play for a hot, steaming vat of bacon-jalepeno mac n' cheese. And by God if this doesn't happen, we're doin' it all wrong...
