The Lions' Pride

TIFWIW, but I heard Hand, Fournette, and Humphrey were all looking to commit to PSU this weekend.

Good rule of thumb= stay the hell away from any QB Texas wants.

They have a knack for finding the biggest head cases/a-holes, especially once Coach Brew left.

Applewhite is a damn good coach, but Mack and Co. have essentially ignored him for the past few seasons. For his sake, and for the sake of the rivalry, hopefully this latest promotion to OC gives him more leverage in the power struggle/cluster that is the Texas coaching staff now that Mack is AWOL.

Yerp.

If the objective is to try and get as many students hurt as possible, they are going to do a remarkably good job of it.

With the bars and fraternities all open for state patty's, at least cops would know where kids would be, and would cut down on foot traffic back and forth from apartment to apartment (which are spread all around town, while bars are clumped together downtown and fraternities are mostly situated in the same area a few blocks off campus). Much easier to keep track of kids at fraternities and bars, and as long as bartenders and bouncers are doing their jobs they cut down on the amount of people getting dangerously drunk.

The only thing the cops are doing is making it much more difficult to find a relatively safer party spot for the kids. This will cut down on drinking marginally, and exponentially increase the chances of kids getting hurt.

^^JMO^^

What a New Era thing to say. What are you? Some kind of wizard!?

why did thy shut down all frats and bars shutting down

Just State Patty's day. I don't think they should have shut down the bars... frats... eh...

They just want to end the event. It has become out of control. Not sure how you can do that though.

No love for the Dillon Panthers that are going to be on campus?

Tim Riggins might be a bigger jackass than Charlie Tweeder, but he could be the next Craig James (without that dirty habit of killing strippers )

You take that back!

Damn it Balt, don't rmj this thread with fake racism allegations!

Ha. Wow.

To those who asked, Jive already answered so I'll move on.

I understand why they're doing what they're doing and sympathize with their problems with state patty's. However, it's not going to stop anytime soon. Trying to get forceful with students and restricting things more wont accomplish anything other than more tickets and more people getting dangerously drunk in bad situations that they wouldn't otherwise be in if state college let things continue with the status quo.

It's kinda scary, as the people causing the problems typically aren't the Penn Staters anyway (it's the jackass kids from other schools who can't handle the State party scene), but something like this isn't something you can shut down or stop. If the students want it to happen, it will happen. Other than keeping students under house arrest, which is impossible, they're going to drink on state patty's.

What the administration has done by trying to combat this holiday is make things more dangerous for both the students and surrounding communities. If you can keep it contained to one area (downtown/fraternity row), then things would be a lot easier for everybody. Instead PSU tries to cut off the head of the hydra that is state patty's and a few more pop up in it's place.
