    Tailgating/Game notes

    Few notes from tailgating this past weekend.

    1. Whoever took our tailgate spot better have enjoyed it cause it won't happen again.

    2. New Associate A.D. Eric Buskirk is a class act, he came by around 11am and asked what could be done to help improve the experience/Tech athletics. Told him about the lack of toilets for east side tailgaters and said he would see about getting it fixed. Got to talk to him about the new CSTV Tech website ("It'll be better than lsu's"), his plan for a rebranding campaign (State-T stays of course but wants to work on getting a standard recognizable Bulldog and fonts), the Jumbo-Tron issue and how he's working to get money to remedy the situation. Overall very impressed I think if he can get 3/4ths of what he wants done he'll be taking JOakes spot.

    3. Shocked when I saw a young lady a few tents down receive a ticket for alcohol, that was not noticably drunk, give me a break .

    4. First half awesome, 3rd quarter fuzzy, couldn't make the 4th quarter (sidenote learned to not drink a flask full of vodka each quarter)

    Are you serious? Talk about small-mindedness. We should be giving away beer to get people to our games.

    Must still have vodka on your mind, or in your blood. Didn't understand this item, either:

    1. Whoever took our better have enjoyed it cause it won't happen again.

    I liked what he had to say...but after you left, we talked about sponsorships and funding. I was kinda disapppointed on how he stated Ruston is in a small market and it's tough to reel in sponsors. I was like, well look at Troy and Miss St. They can do it, we can do it. I think if we ever get a jumbotron we will pay for it with private money or be in debt. No creative thinking going on in the bottom floor of the TAC.

    Got a question?
    Wondering have we paid off the field house?

    Sounds like Buskirk might be a good guy to email suggestions to - this board has plenty of suggestions.

    Tell Eric whats-his-name the following:

    STOP making excuses, START making progress!

    Take a note from our new football coach. Dooley ain't making excuses about inherting Bicknell's program, Bicknell's players, etc. He ain't making excuses about having a AD who makes excuses and a new assistant AD that has been brainwashed by the AD who makes excuses. He ain't making excuses about playing gunslinger Hawaiian boy. Dooley is making progress

    Sure it was because she was underage, not because she was drinking.. They have been doing that for a long time now.

    Yep, that happens every game. The Barneys just can't allow someone to have a good time even if they are not harming anyone.

    The Louisiana Bureau of Alcohol and Tobacco has been in full force this summer in Ruston. They are writing tickets to all underage drinkers they catch, as well as contributors. These are the people on the 4-wheelers at the games. If you are underage and they stop you, you WILL get a ticket. If you go to the liquor store with someone underage and they are holding the drinks as you drive back home, you will more than likely get a ticket.

    Re: Tailgating/Game notes

    So, was the ticket for underage drinking or for having an alcoholic beverage on campus?
