We Did Start The Fire

Remember when Princeton totally zinged us during Homecoming? Well they were probably trying to retaliate after last year's game, when school buses full of kegs and Penn students took their campus by storm.  Unfortunately for the Tigers, our debauchery seems to have had a far more lasting effect than temporarily interrupting students in the library. The Daily Princetonian reports:

Public Safety and police officers [are] enforcing a new rule, which went into effect this fall, that limits tailgating to three hours before and one hour after sporting events. Tailgating during games has been banned.

This is a real tragedy for early risers and those of us who tailgate without ever intending to watch the game! Here's where Penn comes in:

The University instituted these regulations after last year’s home football game against the University of Pennsylvania, when tailgaters started two bonfires and left “excessive amounts of trash” on the lot by Broadmead Street, near Princeton Stadium, University spokeswoman Cass Cliatt ’96 said.

We're going to count this as yet another win against Princeton, at least until next year when the game is away and the rules are a total drag.
