Top 10 Tailgating Scenes

[DaBears]

In terms of university policies, someone mentioned alumni harassment, I think the worst thing which still goes on is the STUDENT harassment. When I lived at the Party Barn on Lane (pictured in avatar) the CPD's favorite stunt would be to send undercovers up onto the porch to ID and arrest like 5 or 6 people (out of hundreds there) for underage drinking. They'd then throw them in the slammer for 18+ hours just for the hell of it. I thought it was pretty pathetic since all your really doing is spoiling a couple of kids days and making a few bucks. It might be different if there was some issue with the party in general but they were really just filling their quotas. The apartment was closed off, no one got in uninvited or anything, besides them. Of course they do the same thing all over campus but that spot in particular obviously got a lot of attention. The whole initiative to do this was started by Ohio State in partnership with the CPD obviously..at some point a school has to show some respect for it's students.

Great point, I know a lot of students who have been arrested for underage drinking that got tossed in jail (had their bail "lost") and end up spending the night in general population downtown. For the life of me, I can't understand why they don't just write drinking tickets like most other schools - CPD would still get their revenue that way and it's a much more student friendly policy. Worst of all, I'm dreading the day when an Ohio State student who was holding a beer that got sent to jail downtown ends up getting beat up or worse while they are in jail. I'll get off my soapbox soon but I know of at least 5 students who have been robbed at gunpoint within a mile of campus and CPD, from my experiences, is much more interested in throwing underage students holding or even transporting beer into jail than actually protecting them. There is tons of crime (drugs, assaults, theft etc) around campus that needs to be policed, but that never seems like their top priority.

ohio state has killed the tail-gating and RV stuff. I have 3 different parties that I check out and the RV one was so far away that it kills you if you drink at all. I saw 3 different groups of cops with dogs walking all around the RV and I couldn't shut up about it. I had a few lawyers around me so I had some fun. The cops are their to check for any open containers and if you get caught its a 250 fine.They have to be in a cup. Each year it gets worse.

Washington's tailgating was nowhere near what we do...even Hawaii's tailgaters blow them away. But, Washington's tailgates are in the parking lot immediately adjacent to the stadium, while the larger portion of ours is away from The Shoe in the RV parking lots, which may mislead visitors who spend most of their time evaluating our tailgating prowess based on what's next to the stadium vice the total area.

When it's raining -- and that's the better part of ten months a year -- udubs stadium is nothing special -- but when the sun is out -- usually sometime around July and August -- it's a drop dead gorgeous setting with American Lake behind the stadium and Mt. Rainier in the background. Woops, that may not be the right name for the lake as I think that was the name given to the small lake at North Fort, Fort Lewis, Washington.
