On Saturday at my tailgate I ran into my sons roommate over on the west side in the general tailgating area. This kid is usually the first to arrive at the student tailgate and on the front row yelling at every game. I asked him what he was doing on this side. He said “ I had to leave it is getting pretty rough over there. Every year on homecoming the tailgating gets very dark.”
My kids were raised at Cajun Field and ML Tigue more field and have known their way around since they were babies. My 17 year old went to meet her older Brother and Sister at the student TG area. When she was ready to come back she called my wife to go meet her and walk with her because she was scared. She has never been scared at CF in her life. My wife and I had gone the student TG for the Buffalo game and the TX St game. It was just your typical college student fun. When my wife got back to the west side she looked like she had just saw a ghost. I asked her what was wrong. She said the student tailgate area was not the crowd that we usually see. It reeked of pot every where. The typical TG’ers were forced along the fence on the perimeter. She said as she was leaving people started rushing to the one little opening in the fence that you enter and exit because there was fight and someone pulled out a gun. There were 4 or 5 cops there in a hurry and arrested the gun toter.
Just weeks ago Martin Hall said that the groups of Greeks that are largely made up of middle class white kids could not play beer pong or other drinking games at the tail gate. But certain groups are able to openly smoke pot in the TG’ing area. Anyone else see a double standard in the rules enforcement with the group in Martin Hall?
