the last big year was a mess
its a shame how some students dont give a shit about our campus
what they did to the theatre was just sad

1/12/2006 10:50:27 AM

Campout at State was the shit - then in '99 everything went to hell, it didn't help that there were 5,000 students camping out for 2,300 tickets and about 5 public safety on hand.

Campout can work at State, but the students and administration would have to make it work.

Ok seriously. There is seven threads about Duke on the first half of the first page.

Can we just start suspending Duke fans... and UNC fans. Just on principle.

1/12/2006 11:03:18 AM

things to reduce...

level of alcohol on campus (unpopular, but necessary if you want campout back)...
ability to create fires...
sg screwups regarding ticket numbers (how many disappeared in 99?)..
general increasing idiocy of college students...

things to increase...

cop patrols...
enforcement of tent abandoment rules...
power outlets...

get all of those done, then maybe you'll get campout back

i am not a god damn Duke or UNC fan!!

1/12/2006 11:23:06 AM

haha I don't mean this thread but just in general.

Actually I like some Duke and UNC fans.. MOODY and StingrayRush know their shit but some of them are just absolutely intolerable.

Duke has a better setup for camping out - although they (undergrad) have to camp out a couple months vs. a couple weekends. They also had internet access (T1 outlets) to all the tents, but probably just have wireless now.

The bonfires are a seperate item from camping out at Duke - there are no fires at campout.
I am pretty sure alcohol is prohibitted during the week, but they are NOT a dry campus.
The engineering dept. had 2 kegs outside Pratt every Friday for the "eKegs" social - I was the only one getting hammered.

State should bring back campout - providing power and having campers know the ticket situation is very important.

1/12/2006 11:37:51 AM

Duke doesn't have a high proportion of Rednecks taking under 12 credit hours a semester.

If the administration was so completely against the Brentroad party they should have moved it to Hillsborough street - block it off from Dixie to the Belltower and let everyone have fun. Let RPD handle it like they do Alive After 5.

Have you ever been a student there?

1/12/2006 11:46:53 AM

i think there's a little more to "handle" than just the crowd at AA5


and Brent Road would definitely have never worked on Hillsborough St.

1/12/2006 11:48:44 AM

yeah Hillsborough would be bad

1/12/2006 11:49:38 AM

WHo gives a fuck.

Campout is expensive and just flat out annoying for the people who actually have to do it.


This is one time I think the administration got things right.


I want to get tickets to games sometimes but I sure as fuck dont wanna have to spend one minute in cold weather to get them.

The online system is great.

1/12/2006 3:33:22 PM

did your girlfriend cheat on you at campout or something?

[Edited on January 12, 2006 at 3:36 PM. Reason : the last REAL campout was great]

1/12/2006 3:35:16 PM

campout separates the real fans from the fairweather ones...

1/12/2006 4:24:41 PM

who would think rallydurham would bitch about having to put a little effort towards getting tickets

1/12/2006 4:44:40 PM

oh i just mean if they arent going to allow alcohol at the campout then who cares.


If they had alcohol, fine.


Without alcohol campout is

- a waste of resources

- stupid

- and stupid

1/12/2006 6:10:51 PM

^well i do agree with you to a point there

I agree with this, but the voucher system also separated them to a much greater extent than the new online system does. Getting vouchers wasnt hard, but you had to put forth a little effort. I think the atmosphere at games this year has dropped off severely because of it and I think real fans are getting screwed because pansy asses are applying for tickets just because they can, and not going to the games.

Not that we've had many games that we should be pumped for yet this basketball season, but it was much more fun the last 2 years...even in the crappy games... when the people that really wanted to be there actually got to go to the games.


I dont really know why I just rambled about that...my point is online system sucks asshole and needs to die. thx

1/12/2006 6:28:53 PM

VOLCOM I totally agree bro!
