Top Tailgating Brackets on ESPN page 2

It's called the student lot. Acting out (in a semi-responsible manner) is what being a college student is all about. I still enjoy it as a (somewhat) recent graduate. I think Al's pic is a good reperesentation of the student lot atmosphere.
If you want little kids and nice RVs, go to the donor lots. Still very respectable tailgating, but the real stuff happens in the student lots.
Thanks!
I also love the stripper pole picture. :biglaugh:
Do you tailgate with them? Or just find that picture?
The people who own the pole just happened to be next to us, but the guy in the chair is a good friend of mine (and one of our regular tailgaters) and the girl is a cousin of another friend of ours. Our neighbors were cool with us just partying around it too.
Yep, when I said "redneck hick" it had everything to do with the clothing that people were wearing in that photo and nothing to do with a homemade stripper pole made from pipe. If everyone were wearing khakis and a polo that photo would be awesomeness reincarnated.
That being said, Al_4_State would you tell CPR that his gameday outfit is terrible.
Hmm...I must have missed that part of the student lot. And to think that the whole time I thought tailgating was all about, grilling, drinking, playing football and loud music. I can't believe I missed seeing my friends cousin on a stripper pole (which doesn't make this any more redneck what so ever).
CPR is the coach. Not a tailgater. It's a different standard of dress. I guess I didn't find the style of dress of the people in those pictures to be that redneck-ish. It's possible that we are just that redneck to the rest of the country that I can't see the difference. If so, that's the way it is and we can't really change that, so why worry.
I love the stripper pole. Its unique and not something you see in every student lot. It separates us from the others.
So finding out your "friend's cousin" pole dances at tailgates via a picture posted on ESPN makes us redneck?
I guess I'm not following the logic there...
I'm not sure how you thought that I was referring to the clothing in the picture but I'll spell it out in simple terms (even though if you read my post it is pretty clear).
Friend's cousin on stripper pole at a tailgate = redneck
(especially if the friend who's cousin is on the stage is the one sitting in the chair with a single in his hand)
How can you tell it's "friend's cousin"? Also, it's not the cousin of the guy in the chair. That would be completely redneck. I guess you find a stripper pole at a tailgate redneck. I don't. Agree to disagree?

j112381 I realize you're just replying at this point to try and dig yourself out of this hole you dug, but this comment doesn't make any sense...
... if it was your own cousin on a stripper pole, then we might give the redneck reference to you
The general population who see that picture will not assume that the people in it are related.
You might be able to say that a stipper pole is not that classy, but redneck applies more to the following:
Dirty
Mullets (not for comedic value)
Toothless and drinking Jack Daniels from the bottle
Majority of hardcore NASCAR fans
I don't think 20 something kids wearing T-shirts and having semi-innocent fun on a ironically unclassy stripper pole classifies as redneck. But I guess we don't have your sophistication.
I'll agree to disagree. I don't care that you made a stripper pole. Do I think it's tacky? Yes. Mainly I think that having that picture on ESPN as a representation of all ISU tailgating makes us look like rednecks. Why everyone is referring to the clothing in the picture is beyond me. I never said that anyone was dressed like a redneck. I wear t-shirts and jeans to every game.

Is there really a difference?
