I'll go with "typical" SMU. Waaaay too many "typicals" through the years. May I start with Heritage Hall debacle?

SMU throws a giant party right in the middle of the nicest neighborhood in the fourth largest metro in the county six to seven times a year, and we have had remarkably little serious push back on that. Its not all that surprising that the TABC and city of UP police might have a tweak from time to time.
Not saying we couldn't be defending it with more gusto at the SMU admin level, but acting like this is solely SMU driven or in any way "typical" SMU is just stupid. The opposite is probably true.

This is far from a tweak and so far no one has mentioned UP or TABC being involved at all. Why would you insert that?

I don't know - common sense maybe? Of course they are responding to something. Its not like someone would look at an otherwise successful BLVD and say - hey - wonder what I can do to make everyone hate me and risk getting fired.
