Typical Penn State Thinking

From the Parking Lot:

I can’t say I’m surprised.  It’s been too quiet.  Penn State hasn’t done anything in awhile to really upset its fans.  But this one is a doozy.  In case you haven’t heard, and if you follow PSU at all, that’s impossible, but the powers that be, have decided that tailgating has gotten out of control.  So they’ve decided to ban tailgating while the actual game is going on.  So when the game kicks off, and not a second before, drop your beer where you are standing.  If you brought Grandpa to the game and he just wants to hang out near the stadium with his cooler of Gennessee Cream Ale he is shit out of luck!  If your wife decides that she really isn’t interested in the game, but more in the social atmosphere of old friends she hasn’t seen in awhile, tell her it’s okay to talk, but if she sips a Miller Lite, it’s lights out.  Johnny Law is coming to get you and there is nothing you can do about it.

Much is being said about how this will be enforced selectively, and I tend to agree.  I don’t really think they are targeting Grandma and your wife.  What I think would have been a better policy would have been to get on MySpace and tell all of those twenty-somethings to end this behavior or there will be consequences. 

Penn State has an uncanny ability to make crazy decisions that just plain upset their fan base.  Someday, when Joe is gone (and that day may never come), there are going to be people who are just too fed up with assinine rules and regulations, and will just stop attending games and tailgates.  We’ll see what happens when the money talks.
