In case some of you didn't know, they are continuing last year's policy of not allowing anyone on the hill after 8 AM, unless you have a red (or higher) parking pass. I personally won't be doing a tailgate this year, as sitting on the hill for 10 hours prior to kickoff is not really a good use of my time.

Once again, our AD will use the "it's for the kids safety" excuse, but will allow vehicles to drive all over creation as long as they enter from the south side of the tailgate area (Alabama) where hundreds of kiddos are running around.Quote:

What a goofball!
I love my Louisiana Tech, but we do ALL WE CAN, seemingly, to retrograde. We had good inertia going a few years ago, and now we're heading back to making it hard for people to enjoy football.
I think TMAC is a plant, by evil-doers, bent on destroying Tech Football. They know they couldn't compete fair and square, so they use this clandestine, infiltration tactic.
all you people that live farther out than 70 miles from campus have to take Friday off to drive over and put up your tents and set up your grill. Unbelievable.
TMAC Tailgating Policy= you little people get out of the way...... I have 6 people who want to park in those suite parking spots this year...... If a Southland conference team wanted to trade us a washing machine and a dryer for our AD I would take it in a heart beat. Least something would work how its supposed to.
Would some responsible person with common sense and pull please step in and solve this very solvable problem? Like others have said, we were making progress with the student attendance. This has set us back 20 years. :angry:

Why not just set the limit to 5 hours prior to kickoff? That is when the shuttle starts to run, before Bulldog Village opens, and about when they used to start policing the parking passes. I guess that makes too much sense for us to do it. And now that I've mentioned it on BBB, it will never happen...Quote:

Chill out. Soloman knows our AD is a goofball. He and his peers had to listen all the BS last year. I'm sure they are excited to be going through the same thing againQuote:

Used to do that. Used to be all we looked forward to.Quote:

I don't think we could give him away at this point even if we threw in a washing machine.Quote:
