It's just a matter of time before it happens....which one happens first...

I'm not weighing in on whether they should or not......Just that they will.
1) LSU steps in on tailgate littering. The parade grounds are starting to look like Earth in Wall-E. This week near the Indian Mounds looked like something from a Rio slum.. It's gone beyond just dropping a cup to intentionally trying to make a mess to prove some sort of point.
2) LSU steps in on volume of speakers at tailgates. A couple of systems were like the kind that tried to blast David Koresh out of hiding in Waco.

All I know is if that Indian from the 70's commercials walked through our campus on Sunday morning, he would shed more than one tear and probably drop dead of a coronary.

The convicts probably wish more trash was thrown to keep them out of the cell longer.

Well if you banned all rednecks from tailgating 1 & 2 might take care of themselves.

I doubt rednecks are the ones playing Techno and awful Rap music at deafening levels.

The worst is the idiots that want to play speaker volume battle. All you end up hearing is the blurring of two different types of music. Awful.

Maybe I'm getting old, but it is the Fraternities. I went through campus after the game, and the only spots that looked like St. Charles after Endymion were the location of the Fraternity tailgates.
I was also back on campus before the pickup in the morning and it looked exactly the same so the homeless is really a minimal part.
We tailgate in between 5 other fraternities and its pretty obvious when we get back to our spot where we were.
The crazy thing is they have pledges that they could make tidy the place up too...
The $50 per car/trailer did nothing to stop this since they just make the pledges sit out there all night with the big stuff and load the trailer with the kegs. Minimal expense for a group that have $5000+ social budgets.

I was on campus at 8:30 on Sunday and the place looked great. All of the cans were empty and a few piles of debris were in the process of being picked up. The Greeks that tailgate in front of the Union with the couches etc. should be taken to task for how much garbage they leave. Why not put a bunch of dumpsters around and ask folks to police the area. Cans are always overflowing. I always get 3 cans for my tailgate and may have to go to 4.

From Kaplan, not an Indian.

Somehow it all magically disappears by Monday. Obviously the issue is already being addressed and thus no need for further intervention.

Re: the crying Indian from the 70s commercial:
His name was "Iron Eyes Cody"
Cody was born Espera de Corti, a son of Antonio de Corti and his wife Francesca Salpietra, immigrants from Sicily. In some of his earliest acting credits Cody was listed as Tony de Corti. He would soon change his name and claim to be part Cherokee and part Cree.
In 1996, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reported his Sicilian heritage, but Cody denied it at the time because he was "ashamed" of his Italian heritage. Cody and his wife Bertha adopted several children, all Native Americans.
Cody began his acting career at the age of 12 and continued to work until the time of his death. He appeared in more than 200 films, including The Big Trail (1930) with John Wayne, A Man Called Horse (1970) with Richard Harris, and Ernest Goes to Camp in 1987 with Jim Varney.
However, he is most famous for his "Crying Indian" role in the Keep America Beautiful public service announcement in the early 1970s. It was an ecology commercial in which an Indian (Cody) sheds a tear after some trash is thrown from a speeding car and lands at his feet. The announcer states "People start pollution; people can stop it."

You must be old. Now a days that would be considered dangerous hazing, the president and pledge Ed would be out on conduct review by the university, and the Fraternity would face a 2 year probation with a national membership review as well. Not to mention it would probably make USA Today headlines for egregious fraternity misconduct

Nah. That dude was Italian. He'd be ok with it.

How about just being responsible and not deliberately trashing the campus that you supposedly love?
I don't understand what's so hard about that.

But seriously, they make them do everything else before, during, and after the tailgate. Why not make them at least pile the shite up.

Walking from my tailgate through the parade ground to Slink's after the game, it was essentially spotless out there.

i mean he kinda has a point

Assuming we're thinking of the same group by the Indian Mounds, this is certainly not a redneck group.
Looks like a frat to me..very well organized group with couches and such. I saw them unloading and icing probably a dozen cases of water last week.
This week as we were walking back to the car it looked like a tornado just swept everything away but the trash...there were two people there that looked like they were picking up all the tents and such.
My wife made the point that they didn't have every many garbage cans, but how hard it a roll of heavy duty garbage bags to find in 2013?
