I think most people upset right now are only upset for one reason. They think "App State Tailgate" isn't a fan account, but rather an official part of the University. I'd wait to see if the athletic department makes a statement regarding tailgating, then grab pitchforks.
Except App State Tailgate was very confused as to why his logo was used in the announcement. He had nothing to do with it.

And, to be fair, I designed said logo, so I'm also confused as to why the University/Campus Activities stole it from Twitter and ran with it.

Bad news is usually seen as being poorly communicated by those who are on the receiving end of the bad news.
I have no dog in the fight.

It can be the best, most right decision ever; and I have no problem with the decision as the student lots often looked like garbage dumps; but if you lose the PR battle, it's a loss. This is a loss.
It’s a no-win situation.

I doubt the attentivity of the image, no official message would have the snark with the smaller text. The logo used would also be the Campus Activities logo or Student Development.

Here is a link to the Official page for student tailgating:

I wouldn't do that, chances are better that they would C&D you for using the official typeset and colors.

They seem to be doing a much better job than a few years ago.

Where is the group for those of us who graduated from App back when we had to do our work on bear skins and stone tablets?

Just check Hardees or Bojangles about 6am. Then hit up a J&S cafeteria around 3:30 pm.

Use the quad in the middle of the new dorms.......
Wow, we agree again. I had previously thought the Yosef club should use this as a premium tailgate spot for high paying donors. Something that would be set up for the folks with food and beverages supplied. Just walk up and start the party. But now I think it should be a student tailgate spot.
Nice idea with the exception of providing food and beverages. Offering the spot is fine, but funding their good time isn’t feasible.
Yeah, on the food service I was talking about the big donors or for that matter offering it to anyone who would pay for it. Not suggesting that the set up and food would be free. It would have to be paid for.

I actually think this is the best spot as nearest to stadium....with that said, the issue is (from a student perspective) is that I am being monitored more by campus security than if I am in Raley or somewhere else...not sure if that is reality..but may be perspective of some students.
