Rebel fan

  • So, a rebel-fan buddy of mine recently proposed to his, now bride-to-be, in THE most overt of rebel fan manners…in the Grove, prior to Double-Decker!! Consequently, am I forced to be a nice guy and say “congratulations”, in obvious disgust (obviously of the methods of his proposal and not the end result..she seems like a sweet gal) of the insanely cliché’d methods of his proposal…or am I allowed to reply with any of the following (please feel free to add you own twist…the funnier, the more likely I’ll use):

    • Very original rebelblackbearlandshark
    • Were you actually allowed to propose in the “main Grove” or do they make “your kind” do such acts in the “Circle” or “Secondary Grove”
    • Number of items of pastel clothing worn, at the time, between the two of you…go!
    • Did the crowd at the Hotty Totty Potty applaud your efforts?
    • I pray your blucher (a casual shoe for yachting) didn’t slip when you tried to kneel down!!!

  • Or...

    * Good idea, she was probably drunk then, thus increasing your chances for a "yes".

  • or...Did she say "yes"...or just "Hotty Totty"?

  • Yall are crazy. The Grove is awesome. As long as it's not the egg bowl, it's a great place to have a cocktail, eat well, and enjoy the scenery.

    So you think the grove is an appropriate place to propose? Even my die hard OM buds would argue you on that. I thought the booze cruise in Cancun was awesome but not awesome place to propose

    If you're both OM people? Yeah I can see that. Aaron Feld proposed at midfield of DWS. Mike Henig proposed on the field at DWS too. I know people that have proposed on the Drill field, Junction, etc and I know people that get married at Chapel of memories on campus.

    Not any more out of the ordinary than people getting married at the chapel of memories.

  • Explanation...okay, take this for what it's worth, because I am obviously looking at it from an outsider's prospective. I spent 3 years in oxford for law school. So, I know enough to be dangerous...there is one large grassy area where the walk of champions, stage, etc. are located that is commonly known as the "Grove". However, there are also other areas, that get looped into the term "Grove" that if you speak with hardcore tsun'ers, are not necessarily the official"grove". There is the Circle and other various assundry areas that fall under this latter umbrella.

    Now, if you talk with the hardcore types, there is a different brand of black bear fan that inhabits these outlying areas. In their minds, the "lower class" version of their fans because apparently it costs a little more cash to setup in the main Grove. During my time there, there weren't assigned spots. So, you had to pay someone, usually a student, to set your tent up in the "main Grove". If you weren't willing to pay the extra cash, and hence the stigma, you are alotted one of the outlying areas...couldn't make that up.

    My buddy, because of his hardcore leanings, would take it as an insult that he would actually setup in one of the outlying areas...hence the comment.

  • Don't know if it is any different....but I got married at the Chapel of Memories(2000). Of course it was before they placed that awful "angel" or whatever it is in front.

    I think GE was looking at it as more of possible racial statement. I could be wrong.

  • I could see that perception after re-reading. That's why I wanted to clarify...but honestly, do you think racial separation could ever happen in a town like Oxford??? C'mon!!

  • Told the story to a couple of other State firends and they came back with these...#2 was my favorite...

    Why propose in the "Back 40" if it was such a big occasion? I'm sure there are nicer places on campus than the woods.

    Did you actually go to the proposal or decide to party nearby while it was going on?

    Was your bride-to-be injured in the ceremonial whisky bottle tossing following the acceptance?

    If you stand in the middle of the Grove, close your eyes and listen really intently, you can hear the voice of William Faulkner tell you to get a life.
