The Grand Game, Duke Edition

I'm sorry to have to do this. But I have to call out the Grand Game about an article written about Duke's bacchanal "Tailgate" party on saturdays before football games.

My son Brian attended the Tailgate. I will not quote his response, but it was quite an event.

And now, the article: what's your favorite part? (I'm not mocking the article, which is well written and factual. But the fact....well, have at it, folks!)

I'll go first: Duke administrators decided to take a FIRM stand, and cut off the number of beers students can bring to the event. They drew a line in the sand: no more than 30 cases of beer per car! (Later said that was a mistake, but... yes it was a mistake).

Some commentary from last year....

Anyway, like I said, not proud. But this had to be done. Emjoy.

"on the list of reasons for the new regulations: preventing alcohol waste..."
this under a picture of a Keystone Light Beer case.
Some would say Keystone Light is a waste of alcohol by itself, but then, I didn't go to Duke, just the North Avenue Trade School.

So Duke ordered their students to stop being such wusses and just go ahead and finish up their damn beers??????

That sounds about right.
