Ok-this is the thread to post your craziest memory at LU. Since I'm still a student, mine is subject to change, but here it goes.
My friend and I took these 2 girls to a hockey game in Roanoke on Halloween Night last semester...and on the way back, they decided they didn't wanna come back to LU so soon. Seein as how there was nothin to do between Roanoke and Lynchburg, we decided to go up the Peaks of Otter at 3 in the morning. What happened up there shall stay up there...but I ended up gettin back at like 6 in the mornin with my roommate still being up. He tells the RA that night...but since I had the most slack RA on Campus as determined by the housing office I got nothing.

Huge fan of the Peaks of Otter. Had many great memories of hiking up there and staying over (it was always so freakin cold up there). I havent thought about that place in a while.
My memories have faded from my times at LU, but you must have had a really slack RA to get nothing from that. I always had the hardcore RAs. For those of you back in the 95-99 years, do you remember the skinny guy with the goatee who always came up to you in DeMoss with "Are you a student here" and then bust you for dress code? He loved giving reps for dress code. I think he gave half of the student population reps for dress code.

Back in 1986 a high school buddy and I brought a keg on campus in the back of my Honda. After we tied one on we cruised the campus smoking crack. The we drove to Rock Hill, SC to steal some Winthrop basketball jerseys. On the way we stopped in NC and robbed a liquor store. We secured cash and booze but had to shot the cashier - he lived. We made it to Rock Hill and held up the equipment manager in the tiny Winthrop Coliseum. We had to shoot him too and I am not sure if he survived. When we got back to campus it was 5 AM. We played nerf basketball in our blood stained jerseys until the RA came in to tell us to hold it down. We had a slack RA so he ignored the beer cans, traces of crack rock on the carpet and the blood on our jerseys.
What a night.
Seriously - the worst I ever did was sneak a dip sitting in DeMoss!

Oh yeah H'Burg...I just hired Tonya Harding to bust the knee caps of everyone of LSU's starters And also, in all seriousness, nothing happened on the top of the peaks...we just talked for a couple hours.

And also, in all seriousness, nothing happened on the top of the peaks...we just talked for a couple hours. RIIIIGHT 1. no goatees in my day either 2. come to think of it, they weren't overly fond of my mullet, turned mohawk w/ the sides (bare skin now, mind you) alternatley painted blue and red (hockey season) 3. the craziest would be laying unconscious on the street IFO DeMoss after getting hit by a car, waking up ALONE in the back of a HORRIBLE excuse for an ambulance driven by SECURITY and dropped at Lynchburg General. 4. 2nd craziest would be the small issue security had one night w/ a girlfriend and I trying out the turf on the 50 yd line of the NEW (at the time) and then still unnamed football field. (JOGGING you PIGS) honorable mention: firing bottle rockets bazooka style out of bunkbed tubing at the ladies dorms (#14 I think) discovering that burning trash in your dorm room sink causes the porcelain to crack

seems odd that I was not welcomed back
(I'm MUCH better now, and too old to cause trouble- hope they let me visit)

Well - you were all mild compared to me. I grew up in a small Christian school and by the time I attended LU knew how to get around all of the rules. I wasnt that bad, but probably broke about every rule in the Liberty Way that could be broken by a guy. Oh, to come clean!

Also a student, i can not post the best stories...but....
As a leader of many pranks that go on around campus, and the dorm...Now they have in the spring a 5k midnight run for students. If that was not an invitation to water balloon, i dont know what was. We drilled them at over six different locations, and i was proud to say i drilled the leader with about 1/2 mile to go.
Most other stories are going to have to wait for a few more years.

Yeah, if it is the same guy I'm thinking of he was on my dorm my sophmore year (he had brown hair). He was a BIG jerk, always looking for people to write up. I had an RA my freshman year that had the same problem and would go up to football players and hassle them. Both were major outcasts and they couldn't understand why. I wish I could remember that guys name...it will come to me in time!!

Hey Belcherboy - I think his name was Mark. He was actually my RA my junior year. Thank goodness I had a work pass and stayed with a buddy at least 5 nights off campus. The dorm guys hated him, but he was always nice to me. I guess since I didnt have to be around him, I didnt think he was too terriible, but look out in DeMoss before 4:30!

As a leader of many pranks that go on around campus, and the dorm... oh stop, in my 4 years, there were only 2 or 3 pranks around school that I wasn't a part of. I'm not saying we did a whole lot, I just didn't ever hear or see of any others. What, did you sneak out and paint the rock one night?

Sorry I have yet to lower myself to actually sneak out and paint the rock...was that big in the old timers days? It is still pretty popular now for the record.
A lot of our pranks come down to fire works, fire alarms, water balloons and other water related tricks, "penny locking" doors if that registers to anyone...I would love to share a lot more but that might have to wait till later on this summer. I will have to say, for whoever shut off the power during the ESPN game back in the day....I'd have to say that is some good work.

One of my favorites that i will share, Now here at LU they have the "Marketplace" where people sell and buy things, and we all know all the flyers and what not you find around campus about things for sale. Well once maybe twice a semester we would gather all these things and call the people saying we would like to buy them (books, guitars, bikes ect.) We would set up the buy for just before or after convo. The trick would be we would get a description of the person and tell them where to meet us (i.e Section 123) Well we would take that description and pass it along to the next person on the list.....In the end, you would have about 10 people holding up books, dudes with their bikes, guy holding his guitar, girl with her computer, (I think we even had a couch one time) all gathered around one section, and the description of the "buyer" was ironically someone else that was there selling something. Just a simple prank, but when you are seated a few sections away and all these people have toted their things in and you get to watch....some things just dont get much funnier.

Speaking of water balloons, the war with E6 (I'm in E5) was quite fun until Dean Wu shut it down...
Oh-and LU Fan, are you in 10 (main campus)? If so, I know what you did last CFAW

None of you got away with tipping over the spirit rock. It took a crane to get that thing out of the hole we dug, and its now cemeted into place.

Now this is a fun thread.
Some of my best accomplishments in college were:
Turning the ZTA letters on the sorority house to TNA and sending the pic to the local paper.
Blowing up half of the main party street on campus with a massive artillery shell firework (I still have the jeans with shrapnel cuts in them, it's amazing I didn't kill myself)
Beheading the UNCA bulldog (statue) that sits near the Justice Center.

Fascinated us back then? Ha, I'd probably still do it if not for the fact that I'd have a significantly higher chance of being arrested at my age now rather than 19!
I almost got thrown in the can for setting off 30 smokebombs around a sorority house and then calling over and telling them their house was on fire. I think my excuse was telling the cop it was a fire drill, it was only good for them. I have no idea how I got away with that other than I was still a teenager. And the fact that WU cops pretty much let anything go. My g/f strung tiny metal wire around my house one night when I came home from the bar, so some of us almost snapped our necks walking into it. She then sped along and laughed at us, we raced to the car just as the campus police pulled up. He asked us where we in a car at 2 in the morning coming back from the bar. We told him the situation and and he blew the horn and said go get em boys.
It's amazing there aren't more deaths on that campus.

mine carries a S/W 9 mm and is a better shot than me or any other guy I know. Needless to say, I'm home on time after work.
