Putting this under the first day. If it's your first flunk day then here are some fun facts!

- Flunk day is never on a Friday because they don't want to give us a 3 day weekend. This is why every event in late spring term pre flunk day is always Friday.

- When looking at flunk day data, disregard 2020.

- If there is a big academic event that is already planned (ex: senior awards, capstone presentation events, etc.) flunk day will most likely not happen then. Faculty can submit days they don't want flunk day to be, and these big events are already taken into consideration when planning. Do note as well there can be big faculty meeting/events on some days that students are just simply not aware of that can affect what day flunk day could be.

- Flunk day is always tomorrow

Tomorrow is Flunk Day

I have confirmed the Flunk Day planning committee. Flunk Day coordinator is senior Maddie Tucker. Deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are seniors Kathryn Allee, John Brent, Tori Johnson, Sarah Wallenfelsz, and junior Myrissa Le. Keep a close eye on them.

Sarah Wallenfelsz is one of the planners??? This is gonna be a great flunk day!

heard kathryn and tori talking in the smc atrium today about food...i wonder if a plan is already underway?

Overheard that Maddie is in the Campus Life office this afternoon, is she finalizing details for a Monday (03/28) Flunk?

FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP: I saw Maddie and Dean McLean leaving a meeting with Dr. Barker at approximately 4 PM. What if this year's Flunk IS super early?

Btw folks - friar scares will NOT be a thing this year! Confirmed both in talking with Maddie and Sarah making a statement in senate last term

The Flunk Day hotline is up and running! Call 309-341-8008

Spotted Maddie going into the Campus Life Office and walking with Dean McLean down to Taylor Lounge at approximately 8:15 PM last night. Flunk next week?

April 4, 2022 (Mon)

make sure y'all get your guesses in for when flunk day will be!! it's time to fight for your pride

April 5, 2022 (Tue)

Flunk day is tomorrow...like probably not but not enough people are saying it these days and i need that fix in my life

With all of this rain are we ready for another mud pit

April 6, 2022 (Wed)

since we're getting closer and closer it feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Flunk Day planning committee are just people with full plates and an entire schedule to worry about and aggravating them with questions like "when's Flunk Day?" and "why did you plan it for a rainy day??" every other day is super exhausting and not helpful at all. We cannot have a repeat of the tormenting they got last year, Maddie and everyone else on the team (sorry I don't remember everyone on there) deserve better so fckn give them that!

Who’s excited for Flunkposium this year?! Does anyone know who’s organizing it??

Posters that say "Flunk Day is tomorrow ... or is it?" have been put all around campus, saying that there's something coming this Friday?

Friday flunk incoming??

Flunk Day will be this day but only from 5-7 PM on the old main south lawn

4/20 flunk blaze it

It's going to be this day because this is the one day I don't want it to happen.

There once was a Flunk that put to rest

All previous Flunks of twenty years past

The tales flew wild, the term dipped down

Oh drink, my Knoxians, drink (hey)


Soon may the 100th Flunk come

To bring us vodka, PBRs and rum

One day, when the Flunking is done

We'll take our shirts and go!

^^^ Happy countdown

April 26, 2022 (Tue)

Given how late flunk day was last year, I'm guessing we're going earlier this year to compensate. This day seems like a decent guess. Don't @ me.

This is Day of Dialogue - not flunk day

April 27, 2022 (Wed)

Stout listed on his syllabus for Econ 303 that the Flunk Day window is April 27-May 11, so nothing before this date.

Friar email sent out tonight!

Flunk Day 2018 Eid al-Fitr ends this evening

Doubling down, I had a dream last night about Flunk Day being on this day

i think everyone thinks it’s week 8 but it might actually be week 7 (this week)

May 3, 2022 (Tue)

Surprise surprise it’s may 3rd flunk

Baseball game listed for today

^^ this is the last weekday sports event for the year


'Twas the TRUE night before Flunk Day

When good children lay
awaiting the bedlam
of pots and pans,
from friars who sing
of the good tidings they bring:
News of booze
Stories of glory
A broadcast! At long last!
The day has arrived
and the students have survived
a full year of college.
Thus, UB has acknowledged
that this is cause for celebration,
for excessive laughter and jubilation.
So, go ahead, go wild!
Run around like a child!
Make friends with strangers,
keep one another out of danger.
Relax and tan on the lawn,
or party 'til the new dawn.
And maybe get just a little drunk
because today, my friends, is a day to flunk!

Flunk Day 2017

Star Wars Flunk

Dean McLean's babies turn one on this day - birthday flunk for the twins?

I heard Andy Gibbons talking about how much setup he needed to do for an event on this day…could it be?

This day could be too close to inauguration activities to work

Baseball plays Augustana this day. But here's the catch it is on our schedule online without a time. It's not on Augustana's team schedule. The only game on their schedule is the one on the 3rd.

This is also the only sunny day this week

Physio does presentations every friday, however, this week is the only one in the schedule we don't have one. Does Nick Gidmark know when flunk is?????

Baseball game mysteriously canceled???

Trucks in walmart - There are always trucks at Walmart. The flunk day trucks will be at the hotels.

Its tomorrow i feel it in my balls…

Flunk day planners spotted at walmart buying major carts of snacks AND JUGS at 9 pm!!!

I was with sarah wallenfelsz at 9PM exactly she was on campus

^omg....I'm my own independent human being separate from kathryn/the rest of the committee....thats crazy dude ^if i (maggie garrett) am dead tomorrow yall know who did it

It was Kathryn Allee


Twas the night after Flunk Day And despite the good times, The bubbles and presidents And slightly forced rhymes

The long-waited festivities Must come to a close Doors locked and drinks finished And a return to repose

With eyes that were drooping And legs that were sore Flunk Day was over But perhaps… a bit more?

For the spirit of Flunking Lives on o’r the year In the moments we cherise And the friends we hold dear

So return to your classes Orgs, meetings, and teams But forget not the lessons Flunk Day always brings


^^wrong poem?? ^i like the idea this presents of flunk day having already happened and everybody just missed it somehow

people on yikyak claiming to find trucks but refusing to post pictures lol

May 5, 2022 (Thu)

Don't quote me on this but this seems like a good day for flunk day idk. The vibes are good for a may 5th flunk methinks

they just sent out an email with a million things happening thursday for inaguration i feel like it is not today

please for the love of god let it not be on this day

May 6, 2022 (Fri)

Friday Flunk is so unlikely but we can dream

President inauguration. No Flunk lol

^^ poly sci majors would riot

not the real president baby

May 9, 2022 (Mon)

Jonathan Powers always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, obviously Flunk Day will be May 9.

This is such a solid day actually jpow might be right

Apparently this is the week of FSL week so maybe not this week? Hopefully earlier

^ does FSL week really matter that much? I don't think it'll be on Monday but I'm willing to bet that it's this week

I don't think we're going to have two Monday Flunks in a row

Holi Festival postponed this week until next weekend, week 7 flunk?

Statistically this is definitely it. Idk my tarot said so.

May 10, 2022 (Tue)

Flunk Day 2016

MY BET IS THIS DAY CALLING IT NOW

A Flunk day on Maddie's b-day? Best way to celebrate is always with the whole school ;)

A birthday Flunk for Maddie? Yes I'm down for this one

Also Lilly Winter's birthday...and I know she wants Flunk Day for her birthday! (Real And Legitimate Claim)

Tuesday flunk plz - this post was made by the TT 2s 5s gang

Not today flunk pls - this post was made by the MWF 2, 3, 4 gang

May 11, 2022 (Wed)

This was the first Flunk (1922) so high possibility of it being this day

^^ second this

^^ i third this, this seems like something maddie would do ^^^ i love this idea -- but idk bc admin picks the day and we know they're not always thoughtful...

I'm so confident about this date, I'll etch it onto my gravestone right now.

they were looking at flunk day stuff in the archives in the winter i wouldn’t be surprised if it was on this day!

I've heard through the grapevine that this day is Flunk Day

^ can confirm! I asked Maddie about this day and she seemed very suspicious when she answered with "maybe ... maybe not"

they don't know lol they're fucking with you

^ i'm pretty sure they know the date

Flunk Day Planner here. We know the date. Maddie has known the date for months.

Ask Charlie Tucker, he knows and is willing to share.

Blessings Blues & Brews is on this day. It is a huge event for Union Board and Blessings. I'm sure they wouldn't plan this event the same day as flunk day.

Blessings in a Backpack and UB don’t know the date though 👀 theoretically any event could be ok Flunk Day, admin only considers really big college wide events when they set the schedule

People can submit events to be considered though when they decide Flunk Day and Joel Estes said that they asked in advance since it's such a big event for them

May 12, 2022 (Thu)

I called this one in late Fall term :)

I refuse to see another year of Thursday truthers

I genuinely think this makes the most sense. This is the 100th and so I'm predicting that they'll want lots of alumni engagement and what better time to do it than the beginning of homecoming weekend????

absolutely 5/12. pls i wanna see the alumni visiting for homecoming drunk off their asses

no. this is our flunk day. get the alumni out of here.

No way it's entering the next week though

homecoming does need some set up time, and they can't exactly get started during flunk day

May 13, 2022 (Fri)

Homecoming weekend so it might be this day or is definitely not
