MSU football, tailgating

Michigan State University is a Big 10 university so most of the students and staff  take Saturday football games pretty serious.

Wearing the paraphernalia, rocking the face paint, screaming your heart out. Those aren't the only ways to show your spirit. Perhaps the most popular expression of school spirit is evident in tailgating.

Tailgating is one of the largest social events that happens at MSU. There's food, shouting, giveaways, companionship, oh and of course drinking.

Despite MSU's reputation of being a party school, tailgating is the only time when drinking on campus is allowed. and the rules and regulations are pretty restricting. The most enforced rule being no drinking in the facilities.

But a bill is currently in Michigan legislature that will allow universities like MSU to serve alcohol in their facilities if they have a liquor license.

This bill, SB 502, is currently waiting for further review by the house and is slated to take affect in October 2012.
