New Student Tailgating Policy (Shocker- It Sucks)

[huskymedic]

So the fun police have stuck once again.

.. ramrodded by OPM and University Counsel

It’s really no different than other university and stadium policies and procedures across the country. The messaging could clearly have been better.

did Stephanie Reitz write this up, too? She's so unbelievably tone deaf that it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

When I head to FL in Oct will be right next to FAU. Will report on whether the students show up for Middle Tennessee and what they're drinking.

rules are rules
DB is a db
Whats new

lol f this school. UConn has no social scene anymore. I wouldn't recommend UConn to any prospective students anymore, this is just further proving my point.

Agreed. Don’t think this new policy will hurt student attendance considering 95% of student tailgaters took the bus back to campus at kickoff, but certainly continues the downward spiral of an already lacking social scene.

baby boomers are sucking the sheer joy of life out of everything. afraid of their own shadows. oh, and they forgot one bullet point on the list 'No Fun.'

Two days before the opener? Really?!? Why is everything harder for us?

Anyone still think @whaler11 was wrong when he asked this program to behave like a normal program? Good grief...

Creating Bubble wrap kids. Fun is a safe space.

Chin's official position and questions on this matter.

Did it have to come from the AD's office because it relates to sporting events? Would seem from a PR standpoint a bit better if it came from student affairs or some other university department.

No kegs? No large holders of alcohol? No glass? No hard liquor? No standing in truck beds? I'm confused as to how standing in a truck bed correlates to alcohol consumption.

Officially this would have no effect on a college-age Chin. As others have said, canned beer is plenty capable of getting you messed up.

Also, do this right. You wake up (or more appropriately skip sleep Friday night) and knock back a fifth of vodka for breakfast. This should be done by 9am. You go to the game and sustain the buzz on cheap beer and sober up while in the game with some non-alcoholic beverages. Are we really expecting students to show up stone cold sober and start their buzz in the parking lot? What values are we trying to instill in our youth?

? First day of school was yesterday...

? First day of school was yesterday...

Yes, but everyone is tuned in to social media. UConn could have made the statement a while ago. Doing it 2 days before the opener only serves to leave a bad taste in people's mouths...

I understand a lot of these rules, but not the no standing on truck beds, that is fully bore nanny state nonsense. Next up, minimum number of chews before you are permitted to swallow.

They should have said no liquor, no kegs, no glass and there will be greater enforcement.

I believe you answered your own question.

The world we live in... Sacred Heart University Sued Over Pancake Eating Contest Death

>>“These contests are significantly more dangerous than people realize and it’s critically important for the public — especially educational institutions — to understand that certain foods are safer than others and a modicum of forethought can literally save lives.”The lawsuit suggests ice cream and whipped cream are safer for amateur competitive eating contests because they melt before they can block a person’s airway.<<

That policy/rule smacks of specific incident - How much you wanna bet that some wonderchild was crapfaced and took a backward brodie out of the truck bed and ended up taking an ambulance ride that shocked mommy and daddy and someone got a nasty letter about the school's responsibility?

Oh I said on twitter this is 100% litigation management and nothing more. It just a shame because this country is really becoming an absolute tedious nanny state bore. I have been doing some international travel lately and it’s interesting and really refreshing to see other 1st world nations still believe in personal responsibility. I’d long those countries and short us. We are spending an inordinate amount of resources in this country (ie waste) on belt and suspenders non sense and paper to insulate from a casino style legal system. It’s a big drag on the economy and it’s making us dumber.

Silver lining: the boneyard almost unanimously agrees on something.

Also student here, begging for a social scene. Tailgates are one of the last things we have other than Teds with new guidelines popping up every few months.

I mean at this point it's too late. Us students before you let you down by not going to mansfield town hall meetings.
