“Colleagues and Students, Each year, a rite of fall on our campus is tailgating at football games. Fortunately, the vast majority of people who participate in these activities, including our students, celebrate responsibly and appropriately. That atmosphere — part of what makes our campus so special — is something we all want to promote. But two weeks ago, before and after the game with Western Kentucky University, a small number of people acted in a manner that seriously threatened the safety of those around them and of police and other safety officials who are there to protect us all. Such behavior will not be tolerated. As a result, the following steps are being taken this weekend during the game against the University of South Carolina: · There will be an increased police, athletics and student affairs presence in the areas that were negatively impacted two weeks ago — the non-reserved tailgate space along Cooper Drive between Sports Center Drive and University Drive. · No alcohol will be allowed in that area. Police and state alcohol beverage control officials will be citing people who serve or use alcohol in that area. · No DJs or bands will be allowed to set up in this area as well. · Individuals or student organizations that promote drinking or that utilize DJs and bands in this area will be subject to disciplinary actions by our Dean of Students Office that could, ultimately, impact their organizational status. We want people to attend games. We want all of you to tailgate and enjoy each other’s company in a responsible fashion. But we will not allow actions and behaviors that threaten the safety of our students, our fans or of officials who are present to protect everyone. Thank you for your help and cooperation in ensuring that everyone at our games is assured of a safe, comfortable and enjoyable experience. Eli Capilouto President University of Kentucky”
Are students supposed to watch this team sober?

A university president who doesn't allow alcohol for non-reserved parking spaces. This seems really discriminatory to visiting fans and college students. Those might have been the people causing the problems before, but when is it the University' President's job to socially police the people. Where was this policy when they were winning basketball games?
Kentucky, it's not bad enough that you have a crappy football program, now you're trying to keep people from coming to watch it. Just go find a closet.
The cops aren't going to enforce this right, what constitutes as a reserved parking spot? What if I contact a provider of one of those spots ahead a time and overnight a check/pay over the phone?

Did the naked blow torch guy get out of jail?

That is fricking terrible. If A&M ever did something like that, I'd turn in my parking passes, ask for a refund, and if they didn't change it, I'd stop giving.
You don't hammer the masses based on a few.

Your president must want to stay in the gutter of the SEC football forever.

So the fans who can't afford to reserve a tailgate spot aren't allowed to have alcohol?
I call BULL SHITE

Any place that doesn't allow liquor on gameday is not a place I'll be frequenting.
