Speaking of creepy, expony please please please take that image off your signature.

Personally, I like it.

Hi Derek! My name's Little Cletus and I'm here to tell you a few things about child labor laws, ok? They're silly and outdated. Why back in the 30s, children as young as five could work as they pleased; from textile factories to iron smelts. Yippee! Hurray!

I like it as well. Plus there is no Kathy Bates in a hot tub anywhere in the picture.

I don't know, I'm getting a strange urge to kill the prime minister of Malaysia.

If there is anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it's that a male model's life is a precious, precious commodity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.

There was a moment last night, when she was sandwiched between the two Finnish dwarves and the Maori tribesmen, where I thought, "Wow, I could really spend the rest of my life with this woman".

as much as some of you are mad he's got a good point... everyone here wants a top 25 program, and he's doing what top 25 programs do (make money)... as long as the money is going to the program....

I disagree. Ole Miss has the #1 tailgating scene according to ESPN, and yet tailgating there is completely free, and packed every game (just like their stadium - which is twice the size of Ford).

So no, charging people to tailgate, and in general, just making tailgating as difficult as possible is not the way to being a "top 25 program."

Obviously, expony18 and d_pony have pointed out that Ole Miss does have some charges related to the Grove...but my question to you is: since when is Ole Miss a "top 25 program?" Last I knew, Ole Miss is a perennial 40-50 program that cracks the top 25 only for one or two weeks in years that they have a star player (Eli Manning, etc.).

The actual tailgating scene has NOTHING to do with whether or not a program is "top 25." It does not recruit players, and as evidenced by SMU, it does not put fans in the stands. However, it can be a money-maker. That is what the SMU athletic department is trying to do with this move. Do I think it was executed correctly? No - the correct way would have been to inform all season ticket holders that there would be a gradual increase in prices over the next few years

[expony18]

and by making money it does allow us to recurit better players by improving our facilities among other things...

Yes, you CAN join the Grove Society and have parking reserved, but having a spot for a tent is COMPLETELY FREE - NO CHARGES. As for unloading, the Grove is open for unloading of tents, chairs, food, etc. each morning a set number of hours before gametime, UNLIKE the Blvd.

As for paying for parking, I went to 4 seasons of Ole Miss football games as a student (lived off campus for 3) and NEVER ONCE had to pay for parking, and had no problems finding parking either. Since going back as alumni, I have NEVER paid for parking at Ole Miss games, there is plenty of it, and my friends who set up tents pay NOTHING for their tailgating spaces.

I referred to Ole Miss as #1 for tailgating, not as a top 25 program overall. If we are talking about improving tailgating and general attendance at Blvd./games, then I think you should look to the top at tailgating for ideas/policies.

My friends set up their own tents - some of them go the night before during the first set-up time, and some of them set up the day of games.
