Hi Bikebum,
Custer got the bar in the basement when I was there. Also while I was there a fellow got dunk at the Custer bar I think, drove to fast, and ran into a tree over by the stadium, totalling his very expensive car. I think it was a tree on the east side of the road, the road that goes past the west side of the stadium. It was where that road joined the road that ran past the north side of the stadium, going west. It was the tree right in the corner where the two roads joined. A couple of weeks, or so, later another guy got drunk at the bar in the basement of Custer, drove his car to fast, and totalled his car on the same tree.
Of course some students knew exactly what to do to to get to the root of the problem, and used a chain saw to cut down the offending tree. I was uncertain exactly how the tree had jumped out in the way of the cars to cause the wrecks, but I wasn't there to see what happened, so how was I to know. At least that is the story that was going around the campus as to how the wrecks happened, and why the tree was cut down. I have pretty good reason to believe that such was what happened.
At any rate, that particular tree didn't cause any more wrecks, so it must have been the problem. Clearly both guys getting drunk at Custer, if that was in fact what happened, was just a coincidence that had nothing to do with the wrecked cars....it was the tree.
Regards,
Gandolf
