Why do we hate our students!!!

[JamesTheJeweler]

I said it before the season. I thought we were on the precipice of a revival of the Louisiana football fan base. I also said that the one thing we couldn't have happen was for Martin Hall to screw it up. Well, we have a great student turnout, a high scoring team at the beginning of a run and a QB that has everyone giddy with the possibilities, and what do they do?

Out of the blue, here comes Martin Hall, doing what they do best.

Coincidence? I think not.

Get some signs made and fill all the empty student seats with letters to spell out "F A M I L Y D A Y"

I'm hearing the University is showing signs of backing down. But their tactic is to act like nothing ever happened and the mob made a big deal out of nothing. I think many of us here know that isn't the case.

In all seriousness, how can we rally the fanbase to make light of this situation?

This issue is bigger than the Greeks. The thread title needs to be changed to, "Why do we hate anything that doesn't bring in Federal funding?"

Those who know, know.

I was telling Gerry this morning, even if we win this battle, they're miles ahead in the war. We only know about this latest boondoggle because enough people got ____ed off and started sharing info. Just imagine all the under-cutting going on within that DoS office. Again, it's not a wonder why our student engagement and participation is ass.

. . . the only way to certainly avoid legal liability would be to go back to prohibition . . . oh, that seems to be the common thread in the actions taken by MH . . . however, with history, we all know how that worked . . .

. . . alcohol is in all of societies intrenched methods which forms the customs and usages for entertainment, especially in the South, especially in Louisiana and even more especially in Lafayette, Louisiana . . . a bar without alcohol is no bar at all, a restaurant without alcohol is no restaurant at all, a wedding reception without alcohol is no wedding reception at all, an engagement party with no alcohol is no engagement party at all, a good fundraiser or any fundraiser without alcohol is no fundraiser at all, a client entertainment function with no alcohol is no entertainment function at all . . . a tailgate with no alcohol is no tailgate at all . . . A Sorority or Frat party with no alcohol is no party at all . . . and before we know it, none of us will be allowed to drink at tailgates and sporting events . . .

. . . regarding the concept of legal liability . . . sorry but the standard is reasonableness, not prohibition . . . there is no reasonableness in the concept that all must be punished for the actions of the few . . . that is back to prohibition . . . if this will ever work again, it will have to go back to the way it was pre 90’s where the organizations who do a poor job of policing their own reasonableness get penalized and depending on the gravity of the infraction, even the death penalty for that organization . . . what is happening now is the death penalty for Louisiana future attendance without yet a violation . . . C’mon man . . .

Once again why doesn't the administration support the students?

The University supports the students academically. That's the purpose of the University. We can agree and disagree all we want but Martin Hall is who makes the decisions. These threads are good discussion of the problems and some solutions that may help.

Heidie Lindsey: "Reminder! No drinking games of any kind at the tailgate and your ice chest must say "Over 21."

UL Frats/Sors: "What? Why? We've always been able to do that?"

Heidie Lindsey: "Because we said so."

UL Frat/Sors: "Well that's dumb. We'll just stay at our houses and play games."

Heidie Lindsey: "No, its family day and you need to be at the game! No excuses!"

UL Frat/Sors: "Tailgating is PART of the game and you're ruining it for us. We'd rather just have fun with friends at our houses."

Heidie Lindsey: "That's it! No one is allowed at the greek houses on gameday!"

UL Frat/Sors: "But, uh.. we.. PAY.. to live there, soooo?"

Heidie Lindsey: "Well not this Saturday you don't! And we'll have University Police standing at the doors to make sure you don't try to sneak in, you disgusting little pervs! I love Joe BIDENNNN!"

Basically how that went..

This is gold
