Bad Tailgating Experience..

Sep 16, 2012, 9:44 AM

Been attending Clemson games for 40 yrs and this week no different. Arrived at Lot 4 parking just after 10 and noticed a pickup truck being parked beside me by an attendant. Truck contained 8 males which I figured were Clemson students. No big deal. They soon pulled a keg out of the truck and bottles of liquor. As time went by there must have been 15 to 20 young people show as the drinking went on. Never saw them eating anything. There was even a woman that arrived, approx. 40 something yrs old that started to party with the young folks. She even allowed the guys to pick her up by the legs and lift her upside down to drink beer from the keg. I just figured she was a cougar trying to relive days gone by. We left for the game as the the young people continued to party. After the game we returned to find 1 male passed out in one of our chairs and all of our coolers had been raided and food ate. They attempted to light my grill but was too drunk or stupid to do so and just emptied the propane bottle. The point of all of this is I was a little upset, but when I found out from some Clemson folks who were in the lot that not only did they witness the eating of the food, they also watched the drunk guy pee into our trash can,throw up on the side on my truck and he and a female got into the back of the truck and then on top of my truck. My problem is that when you see a bunch of drunks raising hell in the area you are in, taking a #### in public, crawling on top of a truck, dial 911 and have CUPD deal with it because at some point they could be causing you problems or next game messing with your stuff. I did call CUPD and two students were hauled off to jail. While I understand this does not represent the majority of Clemson students we as Clemson tailgaters need to watch out for each other. My son is a Clemson grad and was twice as mad as I. This is my first ever post and just had to say something. I still love my Tigers and will be back tailgating next home game. Thanks CUPD, you guys are great.

... a teaching moment, if you will. God works in mysterious ways. I think he placed those rowdy tailgating punks next to you for a reason... and was hoping that, by example, you could help show them the error of their ways.

After you’ve cleaned off your windshield, go ahead and clean theirs, too. But don’t apply too much force or their wipers might break off in your hands. And when you’re cleaning the vomit off your truck, check to see if some splattered on their vehicle as well. If it has dried, the best way to remove it from the tire lettering is with a sharp buck knife. But be very careful that you don’t slip and accidently puncture some of their tires.

Double-check the back of your truck, to be sure that none of their valuable items end up there by mistake. Don’t forget to inspect your keys very closely before leaving, too... foreign objects like paint scrapings might damage the ignition switch. And please be sure that you don’t run over any of their remaining tailgating gear as you’re pulling off.

I think you'd find that by turning the other cheek and not reacting in anger, they would learn a very valuable and lasting lesson. One that will remembered much longer than a couple hours in jail before daddy bails them out.
