Has anyone seen this show on BTN? Just finished watching it featuring the OSU/Wisc game. Pretty good show and the footage from the game was cool.

I thought it was good. I liked the perspective it brought from on the field during the game, and the homecoming/tailgating segments were good as well. However, I'd only watch it again if it were about OSU again, because I could give a ratsass about other schools' tailgating activities. Just sayin'.

I haven't seen it but may check it out. I've always enjoyed tailgating at away games for OSU.

I must admit, even though things were a bit shaky at first, BTN is putting out some quality programs now.

Well done I thought. It got me thinking about how great tailgating used to be at OSU before that bitch Hollern shut things down needlessly. Its coming back somewhat but the lingering effects of Hollern still can be felt. Best tailgating school I've been to lately is LSU (yea I kinda hate to admit that too...) but facts is facts.

When I went to MSU's stadium they had garbage cans outside the stadium entrence overflowing with beer cans. OSU does not. From what I have heard most other campus's are that way especially PSU.

Open containers does not guarentee a good tailgating experience, but it definately killed it a bit at OSU. The students should do some camping/tailgating on the oval ala paternoville. This is where OSU is lacking.

Pretty sure that the City of Columbus had a lot to do with OSU cracking down on tailgating. They wanted to start really enforcing their open container laws and pressured Holebrook into the same.

BTW, has anyone noticed that ATF and DEA help enforce the open container laws? A friend of mine got a ticket from a DEA agent for drinking out of Das Boot a few years ago, and another group of people we know got ticketed by an ATF agent when they got caught bonging beers.

Yea Vball I meant Holbrook...Karen Hollern was a chick I went to school with many moons ago. She was bitchy too.

Haven't seen any ATF or DEA but we did get two undercover women CPD try to "buy" beers from us last year. It was hilarious they tried to act like they were students or something and you could see this walkie-talkie sticking out of one of their bags.

They're everywhere, you just haven't seen them, you're not supposed to see them.
