Why do we hate our students!!!

Admin should not bite the hand that feeds them.

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.

I was at the student tailgate from 4-5 visiting my 2 children and seeing what it is all about. Yes. Pong was played. In true UL fashion after much backlash they relaxed the rules as they have done every other weekend. The student tailgate was very well attended. 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.

All the kids on the front row of this X were at Marley’s on Saturday because of MH.

Everyone here is screaming at the clouds and that is working great so far. People can say
"it's not on the students" all they want but if the students want change, they have to act.

I think we've all heard enough out of you.

First, I find it hard to believe someone was kicked out of school because of an editorial they wrote in the school paper.

Second, Ben Archer was on the football team from 95-98. A quick search and he shows that he’s a graduate of UL.

Geezus dude. How many L's are you gonna take in ONE thread???? How are you this wrong so many times? Pauvre bet! Arrête ca, baw!

That would be the perfect place to tailgate IMHO. Big trees and right next to fraternity houses

Here’s the bar being set…pun intended.

What amazes me there are people in MH that went to USL then. It’s pretty much understood times have changed…nobody is blocking off a few streets just for open air drunkenness and such for hours at clustered bars in 2023. But at the same time, forgetting what it felt like being 18-22 is just plain depressing. Let the students breathe.

Y’all forgot Monday nights in the fall on the Strip. 25 cent 7 oz beers. Was a great time killer waiting for computer access, I could hold 8 on my person…
