I'd wager the boot is cumbersome to carry in your squad car, and fiddly for the average collegiate parking attendant to figure out as far as attachment points.

As much as I like to dig, truth be told, I've been on the UT campus plenty trying to maneuver around cars whose owners just couldn't find an acceptable parking place. They just bailed out wherever. Now, undergraduate parking passes are hilariously expensive, there aren't enough parking garages, and the restrictions placed on them are just asinine. However, just stopping your car and clogging up the street for everyone else has to be dealt with.

These are campus police.  Generating revenue from giving out parking tickets is essentially their ONLY job.  They could just have a golf car or mule with trailer full of the things, and ride along and boot every third car for their inevitable laundry list of parking violations.

Thats a good strategy Erin 

Unfortunately for me there were no shuttle buses until my senior year

I never bought parking passes because they were ridiculously priced even 15 years ago.
What I did was look at the free bus routes and figure it out from there where I could park on the street, and give myself an extra 45 mins of time to allow for parking/bus waiting.  Usually I was able to find something in W Campus but if that wasn't looking good then I'd go on over by Disch Falk field and park over there where there was almost ALWAYS somewhere to park.    Not sure if the street is still free and clear over there but that was always my sweet-spot for free parking and easy bus-lifting.

I lived on campus my freshman year, and had a car, so i had to have a permit for it.

After that I lived in apartments that were on shuttle routes and always took those.

Occasionally I'd drive down if I knew I was going to be later than the shuttles were running.  I started parking behind The Posse which was technically private parking, but the general manager knew me and knew I'd be in at some point to buy beer and a cheeseburger, so he only gave me a hard time every now and then.

In those pre-cellphone days, people would actually call Bald Greg or me AT the Posse.  And I still remember the phone#, 477-2111.

I'd be terrified of what the French would do to a brisket.  They'd probably try to serve it bleu which is about the worst thing you could do...

Get the beef rib at Louie Mueller.

And yeah, Snow's being way out in Lexington and only being open on Saturdays puts a damper on things.  I've been out a couple times but the lines are really long these days.  Way too much tasty BBQ in this part of the country to bother waiting in line for it.  I'll leave that to the hipsters who are only there to take pictures of themselves with the food.

Who the heck are Fox Bros?
