USD Tailgating and travel thread

Is it possible that those who live in SD are smarter than those who live in ND?

However highly unlikely

When you only have a couple of dozen tailgaters there isn't much of a need for crowd control.

[El_Chapo]

its a total joke the amount of police/security presence at NDSU tailgate.

at SDSU last year, the cruiser bus and the entire lot next to us had ZERO 0 zilch security go through, I saw Rob Sobolik and I just had to laugh.

Iowa State we had 2 guys on bikes cruise thru once (CAS was out of control)

Kansas State NOT 1 police/security up there on the hill not 1

NDSU needs to knock off the beer in a plastic cup bullshit too

Wait, what? Can you explain to me how this culture of freedom and accountability works? You mean to tell me, they let you have free run and all hell hasn't broken loose yet? I call BS. Everyone knows, if you let people drink out of cans/bottles, show their labels, and indulge in a drinking game that you are going to die and so are 25 of your closest friends. Right?

There are "written rules" about drinking out of a bottle, hard liquor, etc. I have never seen them enforced. I drink out of glass bottles all the time. I drink out of a huge glass beer stein. We pass around liquor bottles, bottles of moonshine, etc. sitting on the table out in the open all the time. There are drinking games, especially at the student tailgate, all the time. Beer pong, flippy cup, jello shot races, you name it.

Only one time a couple of years ago did a campus cop come by during the 3rd quarter and tell us we weren't supposed out be out there drinking, not until after the game. I told him we were playing XYZ and we're up by 40, the game was over. He didn't harass us just reminded us that those were the rules. We promised to be good and he left us alone. There were parties all around us as many people had left the game at half to tailgate and were watching other major college games and following USD on the radio instead because it was a blowout.

We haven't had a riot or anything like that yet. I think you guys will be ok in Vermillion.

That type of behavior in Fargo would have led to a full body cavity search......

In my experience a few, screw it up for the many. Perhaps something has happened in the past?

Looks like they changed the NDSU tailgating area. Check your emails for something from the alumni Assoc.

Nothing significant has ever happened at NDSU's tailgate and there is nothing to warrant the excessive control tactics and presence of security in large numbers. Just a bunch of nazis on power trips.
