UGA PRESIDENT MICHAEL ADAMS: IXNAY ON THE UNFAY
As a young man, freshly bloodied from his latest schoolyard beating at the hands of the girls’ chorus, future UGA president Michael Adams vowed to himself to make them all think he was a total, unrelenting assface of a man–every last fucking one of them. Having accomplished this goal and some at the University of Georgia, Adams is taking his “I am a total fucking assface” campaign nationwide, attempting to persuade CBS and the rest of the universe not to use the “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” moniker for the UGA-UF game in Jacksonville.
“There are better images,” Adams told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “We have requested they not use that nomenclature. The indication is they are sensitive to our concern.”
It’s on, fucktard. It. Is. On. UGA and UF fans had no common enemy before, but Michael Adams has given us what Mother Nature and centuries of redneck competition couldn’t. We propose that instead of referring to the party as the “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party,” we use the following “better” images instead:
–”World’s Largest Fisting Party”
–”World’s Largest Coke Orgy”
–”World’s Largest Herp-fest”
–”World’s Largest Jorts Convention”
–”World’s Largest Outdoor Middle Aged Swingers’ Ball”
Please–add to the dialogue with your own protest title below.
Michael Adams can kiss the woman’s ass.

I guess Hobnail_Boot is cowering. 7 years at UGA and he didn’t know that they stole the G from Green Bay.
You know what I call that? Unemployable.

Fred S – the deaths are sad, but guy who died last year was over 21 drinking at the Landing before getting into a fight with some locals over a woman. He made a bad choice, was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Don’t think its my responsibility (or UF’s) to explain that to his parents. If you are looking to place blame, how about the bar that kept serving him or the owner of the parking lot where he was assaulted?
What happened to personal responsibility? Nobody forced those drinks down his throat. College students are adults. I expected (and paid for) my son’s college to educate not babysit. I agree with you completely that universities are about more than football and drinking, I think most people who have actually attended one understand that.
I’ve gone to WLOCP every year since a student at UF in 80’s. You should check it out for yourself before passing judgment. Have graduated from kegger to cocktails, the real buzz kill would be having Adams or Bernie at my soiree. I speak from personal experience that not everyone who goes to WLOCP drinks themselves senseless ([Name Redacted] era notwithstanding) and not everyone who has a couple of drinks acts irresponsibly.
Here’s a novel idea…let parents educate their kids about making responsible choices so they won’t be unduly influenced by the WLOCP moniker or college football in general into hedonistic behavior. Sorry to go on, but this let’s blame society/alchohol/WLOCP/anybody else/lack of personal responsibility drives me nuts. (dare I say to drink?)

What is this nonsense—an Auburn Tiger inserting itself in a UF-UGA discussion? Typical behavior from the YellowHammer state’s annoying kid brother. But do you really want to talk academics with us, oh ye of the many mascots? Or are you still in denial about the fact that only a scant few years ago your school had its accreditation under investigation? If Grand Poo-Bah Bobby Lauder doesn’t hire you, where do you work?

g8rslm – Sorry if I sounded a little harsh. I’m not judging anyone. My college days at Southwest Bible Thumper State back in the 80s were definitely alcohol induced (and our administration did all they could to discourage consumption of booze or other rec drugs). I won’t go into details but trust me the hyprocrisy was ripe and it didn’t stop the partying. But that doesn’t mean they weren’t in the right at least some of the time even if they took it to extremes you couldn’t imagine.
I don’t see how personal responsibility is negated by a university’s effort to clean up its image a little. This is largely about pr after all. You’re going to party whether the talking heads on espn/cbs or whereever call it the wlocp or not so I don’t see why you’re so upset. BTW all colleges have a responsibility to their students to provide an environment thats safe and conducive to academic success and this is a small step in that direction. If I thought a college was unsafe or out of control, theres no way I’d send my kid there (and no I’m not an overprotective religious nut).
Its not your responsibility to interact with students’ families after a death (mine either thankfully) but I’ve met a few people in student affairs and trust me you wouldn’t want that duty. Its beyond sad, its tragic. There is some thing to be said for prevention so no one has to go through that. The debate is pretty similar to the lowered BAC level for drunk driving which is the norm now. Though I hated it at the time it was lowered to .08, it has saved lives.
Technically you’re an adult at 18 and old enough at 21 but the maturity level of college age students varies wildly. I see them everyday. Some just can’t handle the party scene but can’t see another path. You’ve probably seen it first hand yourself if you think back. It would be a terrible mistake if no one took issues like this seriously enough to try and do something. My 2 cents…no offense intended.

Sanford,
Fact: Kids are going to drink in college. I went to one of the snobby, New England “baby ivy” schools, then grad school at an Ivy. Guess what? Kids drank themselves silly (me included)both places and they were consistently ranked as Top Ten institutions. But g8rslm is correct. The mistake institutions are making (understandibly out of fear of the inevitable wrongful-death suits, a la MIT) is making the group/event responsible instead of the individual. Example: while I was in college, a girl got drunk at another frat house, came to ours and had one beer (not served to her by us). She passed out, hit her head on the concrete floor and ended up in a coma for 2 months. We got slammed by the administration, and within two years all frats were banned from campus. Not a thing was done to the girl. She had to accept not a whit of responsibility for her own poor choices. Is that the lesson we want college students to take away? Screw up and the threat of litigation absolves you of any responsibility or personal accountability? If so, I think we took a wrong turn somewhere as a society.
Also, didn’t the athletics department at UGA net $26M this year alone?? I’m willing to bet the house that the lion’s share of that came from the football team. It seems that the UGA administration is talking out of both sides of it’s mouth on this one…

Okay…I don’t remember your name, and I’m too lazy to look it up…UGA didn’t steal Greenbay’s logo. From what I understand and have been told, we actually pay to use it.
Fred “Rogers” Sanford–If you have such a problem with the stench of Athens, why not move and work for Bob Jones University, or Pensecola Christian? Maybe even Toccoa Falls College? If you really dislike Athens, get out. We don’t need any more old people complaining about the smell of downtown and blaming football for it. Downtown smells like that all through the year (with the only possible exception being the UGA/UF weekend). Heck, we’re in summer school and it still stinks. Athens is going to be what it is no matter what you do to make students drink less. Lots of people party in Athens who aren’t from UGA, but you seem to place the blame on us. I think you and Michael Adams should go enjoy some butt sex and a near beer and find a new school to annoy.

As for the “Super G” (as it’s properly called), the wife of a UGA coach came up with the idea of using it and then Vince Dooley asked for and received permission to use it–unlike Grambling. We are the only school in the country to be given permission to use it, so I don’t see how we “stole” it.
New Monikers:
The World’s Largest Football Game not given the attention it deserves by ESPN, et. al.
The World’s Largest Football Reclaimation Project (Gator fans will understand this one in a few years.)
The World’s Largest Outdoor Bathroom
or maybe just:
Liquor! Liquor! Yeah, FOOTBALL!

[...] With the bye week coming up for Florida, we’re gearing up for the event you’re not supposed to refer to as “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.” We’re on record as saying that this is the most retarded instance of speech policing by the president of a university as we can imagine, since there’s a.) nothing wrong with cocktails, since they’re one of the things that makes this country great, and b.) the cause of all the ruckus over student drinking–the death of a Florida student in an assault–had nothing to do with alcohol consumed by tourists but was instead the byproduct of three local morons deciding to kick a visiting student in the head for no particular reason.

Funny how NewAzTigger mouths off about undefeated seasons, yet his little collection of Uringe and Blew turds were so irrelevant as to get basically ignored by by the BCS Championship[ the one time in the last 70 years they went undefeated and weren’t on probation.
That noise you heard after the Tiggers loss to Arkansas was the collective sigh of the advertisers and the networks for the BCS knowing that their ratings weren’t gonna be in the shitter because Auburn ain’t gonna play in the title game.
Again.
Winners never quit, and quitters never win, but those that never win and never quit, probably went to Auburn. And they certainly never shut up.
Irrelevance, thy name is Auburn.
I’m off to polish Tommy Tuberville’s ears…
