CMU

so ive had some time to reflect on the disaster that was CMU tailgate this saturday. im a rules person, i like rules, i follow the rules, but rules shouldnt be used to desrtoy something that wasnt so bad in the first place. like personally i hate that people are making people who didnt go to tailgate out to be only concerned with drinking. persoanlly i dont think anyone needs more then 6 beers at tailgate, but who is anyone to put a limit on that? with that limit your gonna get girls who will be drunk off of six beers and guys who are sober, and not all guys are good guys. way to think that one through CMU. and i also agree that we should be able to have kegs or animals at the tailgate. and i dont think that anyone has anything bad to say about the increased police inforcement or the emergemcy lane that has been put in place. the main thing i disagree with is not being about to have your music turned up load or having outside speakers brought in. that was what made tailgate so great. who complained? people with small children? there's a lot for that in front of the stadium. so why did CMU feel the need to make taligate "safer"? who knows. but they certainaly made north campus more unsafe. people get to drunk and get food posining everywhere, not just at a tailgate. people get MIP's and not just at a tailgate. i think that CMU did a great job of ruining something that connceted the student body. this school is starting to bleed football, and all of a sudden then want to put a bandaid on tailgate? im happy that students still filled the stands in support of our team, but i was just as happy to see students unite and take a stand against somthing they didnt believe in. we are the majority, and we have the ability to create change. i hope everyone sticks to what they feel is right, and if the administaters dont make changes, shame on them for taking away one of the greatest experiences at CMU. RIP tailgate, you will be missed.
