a memo to the ND student body re: tailgating

Tailgating, and drinking at a tailgate is a serious business. Take it seriously, you sonsabitches. Enough with all the damn cornholing. The name alone should keep you from playing. But what really sickens me is that when I see it set up in the parking lot, there's only one thing I can think of: Reggie Dunlop and the Hansons. I'm Reggie, I've been doing this tailgating thing for 15 years... and then these kids show up, and THEY BROUGHT THEIR FUCKIN TOYS WITH THEM! Look. A good tailgate has no props. There is the beer, and the grill, and a bunch of people drinking and a few having some burgers and sausages and maybe some chips or something.


Old time tailgating... like Eddy Shore

The cornholing on occasion wouldn't bother me, except that EVERYONE does it...as you wrote, it has become a necessity, next to beer and brats.

I too always associated corn hole with a dark and smelly part of the anatomy...

Tailgating at ND has become somewhat lame the last few years, due both to the University's restrictions on arrivals, departures, charcoal grills, etc. and due to the 'rich and famous' who seem 'too good' to let themselves go a bit.

I agree, but besides a grill, meat, and lots of beer, you must have some sort of football. Whether it be leather, nerf, or a cheap small plastic one, throwing around a football at a tailgater is a necessity.

Ok... I'll grant you a football. But this cornhole crap... that takes forethought, setup time, not to mention the effort to build the damn target. A football, that just takes 20 bucks that you've probably already spent and 4 seconds on your way out the door to grab the thing. 2 totally different ballparks.
