Michael Finley Vows To Buy All Wisconsin Students Drinks At Final Four, Has No Idea What He’s In For

Quite often, people who only have good intentions get screwed over. Like when Andy Bernard just wanted to improve sales in the office and ended up having to get a tattoo on his ass, or when I was non-creepily following this girl home from the bar because I wanted to make sure she got home alright and ended up getting arrested for stalking. I don’t care what the police say; I still know I did the right thing because while I was peering in through her bedroom window afterwards I could tell she had arrived home safely, all thanks to me.

Anyways, ex-Badger star Michael Finley just may become the next victim of his own good intentions.

”Former Badger, and all-time great, Michael Finley has offered to pay for any Wisconsin students’ drinks at the Final Four festivities all weekend.

What a stand-up guy.

For a rich man who used to play for the Badgers, this sounds like an easy enough deal. They show up, marvel at your glory, show you their student ID, then you buy them a drink (presumably a swamp water, a schnorkle, or das boot), they thank you, and you both go on your merry way.

Here’s the problem, though. This is Wisconsin. These kids drink. It’s all they know how to do. That, paired with this…

…means that Finley might be shelling out more than a few G’s this weekend.

If you’re a Wisconsin student at the Final Four, follow Michael Finley on Twitter (@Da_Finster) to find out what bar Finley will be at each night.

Example:

It’s a good thing that it’s Michael Finley and not JERmichael Finley who’s handing out drinks, because he’d probably drop them. If you’re from Wisconsin you’re laughing at that joke right now.

        The Travis Letter

        Commandancy of the The Alamo

        Bejar, Feby. 24th. 1836

        To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World—

        Fellow Citizens & compatriots—

        I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna — I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man — The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken — I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls — I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch — The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country — Victory or Death.

        William Barrett Travis.

        Lt. Col. comdt.

        so to answer your question. The Alamo was taken but sure as hell not given.

    I’d say thats roughly $24,000 worth of drinks. Actual math was involved, very rough numbers used.
