re: RIP Student Tailgating at LSU

Shitty. Admin used to not give a crap, and even participated some. I remember playing flip cup with the dean of Art and Design in the hallways of the design building, and that was just 10 years ago.

That's simple set up no refusal sobriety checkpoints on Nicholson, Highland, Acadian, and every other major way out of LSU for one hour before the end of every home, and have LSU take a cut of the proceeds.

and then have no one show up the following weeks

Hopefully that will stop those frat bag assholes that stole my tent last year

Its REGGIE on steroids for us old fricks.

They're actually trying to destroy tailgating at LSU

One option would require students to hire third-party vendors to serve alcohol at tailgates, and students wouldn’t be allowed to bring outside alcohol. The second option would have LSU’s own auxiliary services coordinate the third-party alcohol vendor where students would purchase drinks at tailgates. The last option is students bring their own beverages and food, “for their own personal consumption but it wouldn’t be large scale parties,” Fuentes-Martin said.

Okay, thanks.

See, REGGIE, I remember.

does he mean like a tailgate?


these people are so stupid.

Fuentes-Martin said there would be no “common-source containers of alcohol,” like “tiger punch, jungle juice,” or other unlabeled drinks where people aren’t informed about the contents.

There would also be no glass containers allowed anywhere on campus, and no drinking games that encourage rapid consumption of alcohol.

She’s also asking students to weigh in on changes to how alcohol is served at tailgates for tailgates hosted by student organizations and clubs.

The nanny state at LSU returns. These are the same people that killed happy hour specials around BR in the early 2000's.

Dumb.

It's this sort of thing that should remind college students that they can vote, even if they can't drink.

To the guy who said LSU partnering with the ABC wasn't an issue just a few years ago, that's BS. My sister got a MIP ticket for drinking underage at a tailgate when she was a Junior in HS. It was done by a task-force with plainclothes folks from ABC and LSU admin folks.

Which was in 1994. So unless your frame of reference for, "just a few years ago," was 1993 (or almost a quarter century ago now) you're wrong. It's been going on for awhile now.

As for the rest of you, it's easy to see you're all still students. You haven't quite grasped the ability to think long-term yet.

Someone landed a close one though with that F King Alexander quote. It's alllllll about revenue opportunities and the LSU Administration's never-ending, bloodlust-esque thirst for never-ending expansion of revenue generation.

But what's easier to do in your view? They tried to move the RV's away from the Stadium over a decade ago while Skip was in charge to free up prime parking spots to sell off to the highest bidders, which generated more revenue for LSU.

They tried to institute parking passes that had to be bought at locations in and around Baton Rouge the night before a game during Alleva's tenure and it fell flat on its face. The pending traffic nightmare of people who didn't realize and just showed up trying to park would've caused a cataclysmic reckoning from the fanbase.

So now where can they grab some more money?

How about the single, primest tailgating real-estate on campus? Well how do you go about it? Well, if you're going to auction that sh!t off to the highest bidder, first you have to get the riff-raff out. Which means the out of control frats and other belligerent students.

How much easier is it to police the 25-49 demographic at corporate tailgates for CB&I, MMR, Brown & Root, etc than to try and manage student groups led by frat tailgates?

Not to mention...which of those groups has more buying power to pay the blood money I'm certain LSU's sure to ask for?

Frat-stars or companies that fuel and fund the jobber programs for Football every year and pay huge corporate dollars in sponsorships?

The end-game here is to put the frats back in their front yards to tailgate, and raffle off the prime tailgating area to more easily-managed, less hassle, more monied corporate tailgates from here on out.

This is just the opening salvo of a somewhat slow ground-war that you know in your heart of hearts whose going to win.

that could cause problems for non-students

She said technically students groups are required to register their tailgates under the current guidelines, it just rarely happens.

“These are very large parties that are unsupervised, they happen freely,” she said
