University of Delaware students rampage for "I'm Schmacked"

 

Well, it could have been worse. It could have been like Penn State, who threw a hissy tantrum riot because Joe Paterno was fired for allowing Jerry Sandusky to live outside of prison walls for another 13 years and molest even more boys. Check out the party footage here:

 

 

It's funny to watch this, considering that I've walked over that pedestrian bridge umpteen times. I also think it's hilarious because University of Delaware, since the mid-1990's, has been working hard to diminish it's state party school rep from the 1980's. This included banning organized outdoor charity concert festivals like ChapelFest and my personal fave, Skidfest. This incident just reinforced in my mind that college kids will be college kids, and for all the pearl-clutching of the establishment that wants to try and "protect the children from binge drinking!", they'll find their own ways to have fun.

 

I'm guessing this means that President Harker's attempts to sell University of Delaware as the next University of Virginia has hit a snag?

Why do you insist to keep posting things that only further embarrass the already embarrassment that is Delaware College?

Well, it's my alma mater, and it was in the news. We do have some good stuff that happens, but yeah. On some level, I thought it was pretty cool, and as a former college kid, I thought, "Right on! Fight for your right to rage, dudes!"

 

Also, there's this part of me that's pissed about how the university has clamped down so hard on partying. It was absoute bullshit that they basically pressed the city of Newark to not allow Skidfest to happen, which was an amazing charity concert rager but didn't fit in with the school's wanna UVA image. I think it's schadenfreude- you make an oppressive environment on a campus and not allow people to have fun, they'll eventually rebel.

 

Finally, that should have been, "Why do you persistently post things that only further embarrass the already big embarrassment that is Delaware College?"
