The Alley Being Shut Down

Pre-drunk would be preferable. Ask about 4Real's special package for ladies with "exotic dancing" experience. LOL
The look wasn't good, obviously. But wouldn't call it a gaffe. Per almost everything I've been reading, his "speech" that was recorded and posted online stopped the craziness from escalating.
.hey moron..are you my stalker..its a message board everyone has opinions...all you do is personally respond to poster rather than discuss
The problem is when people see the video they jump to conclusions without context...before smartphones this wouldnt be an issue..not everything needsxto be recorded
It's obvious as Rutgers sheltered an alcoholic in Dick McCormick who was our President nonetheless they can't have the current AD even sip/hold a beer in public.
You have some serious reading comprehension issues. Where did I say that only students that were sober were coming in?
Absolutely agree. Which is why it sucks if this video had anything to do with shutting it down.
Because the people who got bumped to Blue from richer lots in 2014 had no idea what jungle they were waking into and got pissed students were tailgating like maniacs (like they have for years). They complained to Julie that they donate $1,432.45 a year and don't deserve a kid puking by them. Julie increases police presence, rent a cops spend the next two years writing underage drinking tickets like they get a commission and students start tailgating at their houses on College Ave. student attendance suffers because 20 year olds don't want to spend 40 minutes getting to the game, Skoolie repeats this story every week student attendance is poor and gets told "tough" "be quiet" etc by the same old folks who started this cluster fvck to begin with.
The end.
Why can't students just organize their own tailgates like countless other classes before them?
I vote that we allow students back into the Blue lot.
In exchange, at every home game we stake @RUskoolie to the ground somewhere about mid-lot and everyone who needs to throw up, throws up on him.
I know for a fact that kids are drinking at even younger ages than 18. Lots of them. It's very commonplace. So while the goal of raising the age to 21 is laudable, it's not working. And a law that doesn't work is a bad law.
Making the drinking age 21 is throwing out the baby with the bathwater. If we want to address drinking and diving, then do so specifically. If we want to address binge drinking, do so specifically.
But raising laws that don't prevent anybody from doing anything is just dumb.
Because they cant control themselves tailgating changed afterabout 2007 which coincides with the explosion of text messaging and smartphones...coincidence or not...eeverything became about being big as possible and jersey shore and videoing the whole experience to let others know
You think the legal team gives a damn if student don't show up on Sat. This doesn't sound like it was the Athletic Dept. decision so why punish them and the team with this stupid boycott?
Because it's been proven that they'll inevitably be ID'd by the Middlesex County Gestapo currently patrolling the tailgating lots, and issued $750 citations each even if holding a beer or Solo cup while under the remand old age of 21. That right there is 750 reasons for a full 3/4 of eligible students to just stay on College Avenue to pregame, and/or not bother showing up to games.
Nobody would care where the students went if they all behaved reasonably responsibly and were considerate of the non-student tailgaters around them. But that didn't happen.
Agree....its not the RU Athletic Dept.'s duty to control themselves. Just let them be on their own, and if they get in trouble, they get in trouble.
It's ridiculous this is shut down, but it is what it is. So now students, just find a way to tailgate like they did last year. Problem solved.
This was happening last year, and students were still tailgating. Just do what they did last year, problem solved.
I created that image in September of 2014 and sent it to Julie.
Curiously enough, I was asked on Saturday to resubmit it, by someone in the AD's office.
I stand by it, as I think that piece of property could be an ideal fairground for the students. I think that the school should get the Greek life folks involved, get their help organizing and policing the activities and strive to make it a more interactive experience than just kegs and loud music.
Felicia McGinty, Vice Chancelor of Student Affairs
want to gripe, call her-she shut it down
Yes, they continued tailgating by either turning 21 or just staying on College Avenue to drink instead.
I've personally seen the sheriffs walk up and down the Blue Lot, ID'ing and questioning everyone who does not look at least 25. Are you now suggesting that the guys grow beards and girls overindulge in makeup to look older, or find a clever hiding spot in mostly wide-open, crowded lots while drinking a beer?
The petition has 968 signatures at this point.....sure seems like the students are not happy
I don't think it's a good idea to corralle all the students into 1 area.
It was reported was 2500-3000 students showed up for the New Mexico game. You have a big 8pm night game and you'll probly see 5000 + students show up. It's not realistic to police that many students.
It sucks we don't have bigger plots of land around the stadium so the students can spread out, have their fun and bother less older people.
Anyone trying to find some sort of "solution" at this point, is totally missing the issue.
Move on.
Move on.
The school needs to realize, that if you have students drinking in the parking lots, they are doing so illegally. If students are drinking in a lot that you created for them, then you have now sponsored them to drink illegally.
It was an idiotic idea in the first place if they knew they were going to fill the lot with sheriffs officers and expect the students to drink pepsi and mountain dew. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. We have the most inept marketing department in the country, and that's not limited to college athletics programs. I'm waiting to find out how many billions of dollars Ohio State's alumni are making in the NFL who were coached by the current RU staff.
While the Hobbs thing was kind of awesome, you've got to know these days that everything you do is on video.

Did you even look at the diagram?
That space is big enough for 1600 cars. 5000 students could show up and pitch tents.
Did you even read my post.
I said it's not realistic to police 5000 students.
I didn't make any comment your diagram or how big the space is.
It's not a good idea to corralle students into 1 area.
The petition is interesting, but if the students showed up and filed out of the stadium at kickoff, they would make their point.
I'm not sure they could pull something off that organized, but that would be the smartest way to go about it if you wanted to be heard. A few signatures on a page has proven meaningless to Rutgers. They'll just do whatever they want.
