“We tried to leave because it sucked so bad,” said driver and Waterford senior Brett Kukuk, “and then they wouldn’t let us.”

That's Kidnapping. We're talking MILLION dollar lawsuit here.

The tradition of tailgate we have at CMU is one of the best and proudest traditions we cherish. It’s a part of who we are. Our opponents on the SGA E-Board were paid over $14,000 in bonuses to cave into unfair rules that violate our great tradition without even putting up a fight.

Students deserve a President that will take a stand for them. Evan and Jessica will work with the student and Greek community to restore and preserve the great tradition of CMU tailgate. Visit Evan4Prez.com for more information.

I loved the old tailgating parties, free alcohol for all of us freshman. I can’t remember much of the game, but we had fun doing shots while the police watched and didn’t do anything. Where else can you show so much school spirit and be really drunk in public? It was lots of fun:)

Well,while I am unsure what the justification is for the vehicle “confinement” until the 3rd quarter, I am amazed at the defense of some of the behaviors (at the tailgating site). I witnessed some of these at the WMU game of 2008. When I was student, we had our share of parties and alcohol use was prevalent. However there was no “student” tailgate section at Perry Shorts, it was a grassy field. I walked through that Bacchian mess with my 18 y/o daughter who WAS considering CMU, the behavior was abominable, the alcohol use uncontrolled, and it was humiliating to witness the behaviors evident in “modern” Chips. Quit whining, the university does not owe you an “orgy zone”.

I feel that these new regulations are exactly what we needed. I am so excited that these new rules are in effect. I mean, we can all get together and sing Kumbuya and hold hands in the small lot…

Just kidding!! How stupid. Lets add more rules…that always solves things. I am sure UofM and MSU will see CMU as pioneer program and they will do the same next year! NOT!

Just let the kids have fun and arrest those who break LAWS, not petty rules.

Good job CMU administrators. CMU made headlines, but not for its awesome football team.

“Worse, CMU isn’t letting any cars leave the parking lot until the third quarter. Reduces congestion, the school says. Isn’t that kidnapping?”

Terrified mom: “Please let me go! My baby’s climbed out onto the roof of my house!”

Cop: “Sorry, ma’am. Still 1:48 left in the half.”
