    There is a systemic problem within Martin Hall. They excel in certain areas and are completely inept in others. The problem is that they want to be like the Wizard of Oz.
    Not surprising. Just 8 years later, I got a 10PM phone call from Martin Hall. They tried to get me fired from the Vermilion and kicked out of SGA. Neither plan worked.

    I guess they learned their lesson, because they never threatened to kick me out of school

    I agree. Even though there were less students than last week, there were more than attended last year's games.

    I've been threatened by proxy so many times, I've lost count.

    Thank you for bringing this up. It leads to the question why would UL want to know the real names of people on RP? Deny us ticket access, ban us from attending UL functions, refuse our donations?

    If Ben Archer blew them up, how the heck they think such foolishness would end with donors with probably more worldly savvy than a then college student?

    If Maggard quits tomorrow, I couldn’t blame him. UL needs to look in the mirror and quit stifling fan growth, RCAF and a generational AD.

    R1 is fantastic…great management plan. But managing “the front porch” like Vernon Wormer isn’t productive.

    Lol. You can’t be serious

    So they want to limit the amount of fans they have so they can control the narrative at all times? Small time 101

    Yea, but... that's exactly what they want. They want to control any and everything, even if it means 8k butts in the seats and no interest in athletics. Don't believe me? Just go ask them.

    Look at most FCS programs. Fan page is on Facebook, can delete any distractions with a click. That’s why RP gets targeted.

    Kinda like MSM websites…control the narratives but on a smaller scale.

    I told my son and some of his fraternity bros and a few kids of the fraternity that I am alumni of, what they should do is get all the Greek organization in unison and boycott all school activities until they let them have their own pre game parties, at their own houses just as we did from 88-91 when I was active. There is no good reason for them not to be able to do that. I would love to see what Homecoming week would look like without one Greek in the Yell Like Hell event, one Greek float in the parade, and not one Greek organization decorating around campus or at their houses. You would have no semblance of homecoming at all on campus.

    As for the student tailgating, that whole thing just sucks and it would suck to be a student this day and age and have to do that pre game. They lucky to get 50 people to the game with what the call student tailgating. IMO

    Who says they have to go to this organized tailgate? There is a huge open park right by their houses and the stadium. Sounds like a good place to party to me

    It would get shut down in a heart beat. Times have changed. The only place you are allowed to TG, as a student on campus, is in the fenced in cattle pen that they have designated as the tailgate area. I know a kid who organized a TG for basketball in an empty lot on the row for all Greeks and any other student that wanted to attend, through his social media account. They had a great student turn out. The University Police shut it down with in minutes.

When it shut down, because the Greeks are tired of the childish rules and being F____ed with constantly by Hidie Lindsey and others, they packed up and went to Marley’s. Had all the kids at the tailgate gone in the game the crowd would have easily been bigger than week one. The reason they even went to the tailgate was because it was family week and lots of them had parents there. My 21 year old missed the 2nd home game of his entire life.

    They did not relax the rule about going to the houses. Some had security hired and parents over during the day. My sons fraternity is doing parents day later in the year. They could not meet at their house pre or post game.

    My view of the tailgate in general. IMO it is one of the most depressing things I have ever seen, on a college campus for tailgating. When I was a kid my grandfather had around 500 head of cattle. When working cattle, you first round them up and put them in a holding pen, before running them through the shoot. I told my son and his friends, that the student tailgate looks like a bunch of cattle being round up and fenced in, with someone guarding the gate making sure they don’t get out and party outside of the pen.

    Lastly my freshman daughter had their family day at Marley’s from 1-3 in the afternoon. So I was able to check go to Marley’s off my bucket list as I went there for my first time.
    I haven’t been to a game this year as I am out of town now. That student TG area sounds awful. When did our school become the no fun zone? We were once rated the number one party school in America by Play Boy. Sounds like MH has completely messed that ranking up. We hate being number 1 in anything.
