And just why was Unstable Stacey wearing a full mask in Section B of Neyland Stadium when his own ticket was issued for Section LL...???:State rep Campfield escorted from UT game on Halloween He wore Halloween mask, which led to dispute with police http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2009/nov/10/campfield-escorted-ut-game/
By Rebecca Ferrar Posted November 10, 2009 at midnight
State Rep. Stacey Campfield was escorted from the University of Tennessee home football game Oct. 31 after an incident over a Halloween mask that he was wearing, a university official confirmed Monday.
According to a report by UT Police Lt. Dana McReynolds, the Knoxville Republican was wearing a “Luchador’s (Mexican wrestler’s) full head mask” during the game against South Carolina despite publicity before and during the game that Halloween masks were not allowed inside Neyland Stadium.
Campfield is not named in the narrative, but his identity was later learned by McReynolds through a driver’s license check. Campfield’s identity was confirmed Monday by UT spokeswoman Karen Collins.

Rep. Stacey Campfield, R-18, Knoxville
The lawmaker, who is running for the state Senate seat being vacated by Tim Burchett, could not be reached for comment. Attempts to reach him via associates and alternate phone numbers also were unsuccessful.

The incident began inside Neyland Stadium when a mother and her two daughters became “upset because a man was sitting in their section (Section B) with a mask on,” according to McReynolds’ report. “The girls were upset because they had been told they not could wear masks into the stadium and the mask was such that it was bothering them.”
McReynolds and a Knox County Sheriff’s Office deputy found the masked man and asked him to step into the portal.
“I told him masks were not allowed in the stadium and told him he would have to take it off,” McReynolds wrote. “He asked why and I again told him that masks were not allowed and he could either give the mask to me or take it off and put it away. Before I could finish my sentence he took off the mask and asked if he could keep it. I told him ‘yes’ and thanked him for complying.”
The officer noted that Campfield then re-entered the stadium area but went a different direction than his original seat.
“Curious about this odd behavior and concerned that he had misunderstood our interaction, I caught up with him in front of the concession stand in Section D,” McReynolds wrote. “I … began to tell him that I was not asking him to leave the section, just to take off his mask. Again … he interrupted and said, ‘I was just taking a walk. Is it illegal to walk around?’ I told him ‘no,’ and was surprised by his sudden confrontational attitude. … He again asked if walking around was illegal. I told him ‘no’ and again began to explain that he did not have to leave his seat, just take off the mask. He continued to ask if walking around was illegal. … Thinking that something was not right (he kept saying the same phrase over and over, would not make eye contact and kept shifting on his feet, left to right) I asked to see his ticket.”
When Campfield gave the officer his ticket, it was for Section LL, not Section B.
According to the report, the officer asked Campfield why he had not said he was going to his correct seat, and he said again, “I told you I was walking around. Is it illegal to walk around?”
“After five or six attempts at explaining this to him, I told the man I was not going to play word … games with him,” the officer wrote. “He had violated the mask policy, was in the wrong section and was being argumentative and uncooperative.”
According to the narrative, McReynolds asked for the man’s identification, wrote his Tennessee driver’s license number on his ticket and, along with another officer, escorted him from the stadium.
“While walking to the exit, he kept repeating over and over that he was just walking around and when did it become illegal to walk around,” McReynolds wrote. “The man never became violent, and neither myself nor (the other officer) touched the man.”
When the officers returned to the stadium, McReynolds contacted a UTPD dispatcher and asked to have the man’s driver’s license run.
“It was then I learned his identity,” McReynolds wrote.
In a written statement, Collins said the “report was prepared but not entered into an incident report because there were no charges filed. Lt. Dana McReynolds wrote this narrative and forwarded it on through channels after realizing that a state representative was involved.”
McReynolds’ narrative was sent to Jeff Maples, the UT senior associate vice chancellor, Collins said.
Ron Leadbetter, a former UT associate general counsel who is running against Campfield for Burchett’s seat, said he heard about the mask incident and went to UT Police Chief Debbie Perry on Monday morning to find out if it was true.
“It’s not the kind of conduct you expect from legislative leaders,” Leadbetter said. “You’d expect a little bit higher conduct. I’m sorry to say I’m not shocked.”

1. Knoxville News-Sentinel: "Dressing up for UT-SC game? Leave the Spurrier mask at home' |

Dressing up for UT-SC game? Leave the Spurrier mask at home http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2009/oct/28/dressing-ut-sc-game-leave-spurrier-mask-home/ News Sentinel staff Posted October 28, 2009 at 11:52 a.m.
Editor's note: Fans may not store their Halloween masks at any Neyland Stadium gate. An earlier version of this story was incorrect.
KNOXVILLE — You’re welcome to wear a Halloween costume to Saturday’s UT-South Carolina game, but the mask will have to go.
University of Tennessee officials say that for security reasons no one will be allowed to bring or wear a mask to the 7:45 p.m. game Halloween. Fans cannot store their masks at any Neyland Stadium gate.
Face-painting is fine, according to the university.
Also, while costumes are OK inside the stadium, anyone wearing one will be searched to ensure no prohibited items are brought in. Props meant to go with a costume, such as a toy gun or sword, will not be allowed inside Neyland Stadium.
According to the university, there will be trick-or-treating and a Halloween costume contest at the Volunteer Village commercial exhibition area on the Humanities Plaza lawn from 4:15 p.m. to 7:15 p.m.
More details as they develop online and in Thursday’s News Sentinel.

Scary Stacey's Quick Exit: Reps' ticked seat Section LL immediately at Neyland Stadium South Ramp

Rep. Stacey Campfield (R-18, Knoxville)

The Knoxville News Sentinel news report features a hyperlink to the responding officer's field notes - the masked Rep. Stacey Campfield was sitting in Section B (near field and top center of image; persumably the two terrified little girls were also in Section B) while Rep. Campfield's seating assigned by his ticket purchase was high up in Section LL immediately near the Neyland Stadium South Ramp (right side of image).
The UT Neyland Stadium Section LL ticket prices are approximately $48.00 while the more expensive Section B near the field (where the masked Rep. Campfield was sitting during the October 31 Halloween football game) cost approximately $79.00 to $125.00 each.

5. ¡Lucha mania! 'Cinema con queso' brings vintage Mexican wrestle mania back to the big screen |

¡Lucha mania! 'Cinema con queso' brings vintage Mexican wrestle mania back to the big screen http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2009/may/28/lucha-mania-cinema-con-queso-brings-vintage-mexica/

What do you get if you cross Superman and Hulk Hogan with a dash of flamboyantly weird filmmaker Ed Wood?
El Santo.
If the name doesn't ring a bell, then you may need more queso in your life, says Darrell Brogdon of Kansas Public Radio’s Retro Cocktail Hour. Brogdon has joined forces with Daniel Aguado Ornelas, of the Mexican Consulate in Kansas City, to present a night of El Santo in Lawrence this Friday in the form of Cinema con Queso. The show is a one-night double feature of two of the more than 50 films starring Mexico's most famous wrestler — luchador — El Santo, aka Rodolfo Guzman Huerta.
“El Santo was really, as I understand it, the most popular of the luchadors. He was a living, breathing superhero,” Brogdon says. “Because he never took the mask off, he was always El Santo. Unlike here, you go to a Batman movie and you know it’s a movie. It’s with an actor who puts on a mask and the rubber and plays Batman. But in the El Santo movies, El Santo was played by El Santo, so he really is like a living superhero in these movies.”
The night begins at 7:30 p.m. at Liberty Hall, and the $5 admission includes the films “Santo and the Blue Demon vs. the Monsters” and “Santo vs. the She Wolves” and real luchador masks raffled as door prizes.
The double feature fits in with Brogdon’s show, which he says features “incredibly strange tunes” at 7 p.m. Saturday nights on KPR (91.5 FM). And this may be the first in a line of retro-themed movie nights, if successful.
“There is an undeniable sort of kitch with the El Santo films ... because they’re very low-budget. The Mexican government financed them to some extent, but they’re still kind of low-budget and they’re very enthusiastic, but they’re B-movies,” Brogdon says. “So they are never going to win an Oscar, but they’re fun, fun silly movies.”

Do you suppose that Rep. Jason Mumpower (R-3, Bristol) would be willing to share any of his 'El santo' comic books with Rep. Stacey Campfield (R- , Knoxville)...?
