If people are drunk and obnoxious, arrest them. If people leave trash on campus, arrest them. The new gameplan is over-legislated and over-regulated. But, it is exactly what you would expect from a micro-managing, petty, spiteful, needledick sonofabitch like Mike Adams. I wouldn't piss on that sonofabitch if he was on fire, 'less I could piss gasoline.Dawgnoxioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10659656461950552199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25555967.post-1154708034178690692006-08-04T09:13:00.000-07:002006-08-04T09:13:00.000-07:00I completely agree with your sentiments about UGA'...I completely agree with your sentiments about UGA's tailgating situation. I graduated in '01 (pre-Richt and winning SEC Championships...damnit!). I can fondly remember waking up in Rivermill Apts to 'Welcome to the Jungle' blaring form the double-decker (English style) bus parked in the huge lot next to the stadium. Campers would begin to park here on Wed/Thurs and would party until gametime. Us 'Rivermillians' would join them during the week. Now that lot is offlimits to tailgaters and folks no longer park next to the stadium.<BR/><BR/>ALSO, over the past few years, the # of security guards within the stadium has become ridiculous - party due to rushing the field in '00 and 9/11. I understand about the increase BUT I don't understand some of the things they do - waiting outside the restroom and sniffing drinks?? WTF???<BR/><BR/>I attended the UGA/SC game in Columbia in '04 and it was as close to an 'old-stype' UGA game that I can remember. We sat in the middle of the SC student section and had a blast!!! No security patrolling, students sitting in the aisle passing bottles of whiskey out in the open, and people generally having a good time.<BR/><BR/>Again...I understand some of the changes w/ UGA's tailgating situation, but I also know it's not as fun (and that doesn't have anything to do with me getting older). Too bad.<BR/><BR/>It does kinda sound like I'm an oldman, but UGA tailgating isn't the same and probably never will be.shliknikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02681147218154928807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25555967.post-1154455807962229832006-08-01T11:10:00.000-07:002006-08-01T11:10:00.000-07:00"What's next, banning of sundresses for all the be..."What's next, banning of sundresses for all the beautiful women because they promote impure thoughts in all straight men who look upon them?"<BR/><BR/>Kanu, it is your civic frickin' DUTY to delete this part of your post before President Mickey happens on it and starts getting ideas.<BR/><BR/>If you choose not to, and I'm forced to gaze upon burkha-and-potato-sack-clad coeds starting next year, I'm holding you personally responsible.<BR/><BR/>Good post BTW.DAvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13500688643367452431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25555967.post-1154412253244388752006-07-31T23:04:00.000-07:002006-07-31T23:04:00.000-07:00Alex-Russell is up on the hill; I'mtalking about t...Alex-<BR/><BR/>Russell is up on the hill; I'mtalking about the little one down ont he corner of Baxter/Lumpkin. Hold on... Lipscomb is what I'm talking about. That little parking lot right there on the corner used to be hopping from Thursday a.m. all the way through to Sunday.<BR/><BR/>OMAA - agreed on the family zones... In the stadium. If I had little ones I would be down with these as well; it would make taking a theoretical little Kanu to a Braves game enjoyable, whereas I would never take a youngun to Fenway. Hell, I went to my first Red Sox game when I was 12 and it was hardcore for a 12 year old. But trying to legislate tailgating in the manner that they are talking about seems a fool's errand.<BR/><BR/>Live bands, sorority girls, a $1000 in food and drink? That makes even UNC football enjoyable; now I know how you came to be such a fan.Kanuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02959256951835399304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25555967.post-1154125564311575302006-07-28T15:26:00.000-07:002006-07-28T15:26:00.000-07:00As I get older and have my younguns with me, I can...As I get older and have my younguns with me, I can appreciate the 'family' zone. It is especially nice when you have no where else to go. I like the family sections in sports arenas, because you are less likely to run into the falling down drunk guy that is way over doing it. However, I agree with Kanu that if you are at a tailgate and you encounter said person, you do one of 2 things. Move or get some security dude to enforce the rules already on the books. When we tailgate at GT, we do it with people that drink. Heck my wife drinks. I think I am the only one who doesn't. Doesn't really bother me one bit. The part that would tick me off would be the no DJs rule. WTF? I remember going to Carolina games when I was a kid and my sister was in a sorority there. My parents dropped about $500-1000/weekend on food and beverage. There was always music, and a couple of times we had a band a the tailgate. I guess since bands are not excluded by the letter of the law, you could still have one.<BR/><BR/>Come on MDG, MA over react? That never happened at Centre. That's what Cari told me anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
