And judging by her accent and her having a brother at A&M, she's probably a Houston girl who was at a good HS and didn't have a high enough class rank to get into Texas or Texas A&M. What was her comment, "Believe it or not, I actually have a higher IQ than most of these people." Her brain was probably a little numbed at the time.

I felt sorry for the girl, Some day she may have to explain this film to her children, boss or church. She has nothing to be proud of in this film. It is sad.

Wow...now I understand why many schools have bad attendance at football games.

This girl is THERE for reasons beyond football...as are many of the people, especially the girls. What's wrong with that? Football Saturdays are a BIG FREAKING PARTY. It's Saturday, for Pete's sake. You go to class/work all week, do what you are supposed to do and then blow off steam on Saturday.

I know some folks that make fun of the tailgating atmosphere and I always respond...what's wrong with having fun? What's wrong with a Party? Is this girl drinking and driving? Is she of age? Is she in an environment where she is inappropriate?

There is nothing wrong with it, they are having fun. You have your whole life to act serious, why would you want to do it on a Saturday after working or going to school all week when you are at a football game?

I'll give this girl and the others in the video props for being real, for saying what they think, and acting how they feel. At least they are there. Too many college folks think they are too good for a "football game"....and they just hang out at some stupid coffee shop talking to their other boring friends about changing the world, of which they will never actually do. This girl is living, those folks are wasting time.

Yes, I may be using broad brush strokes in this thread, but statistics are on my side here too. Besides, the way this thread unfolded with the brunette girl as the focal point, my take on it is a moron who thinks college is all about the "experience", aka partying. That's different than taking a bright student that happens to enjoy partying hard.

Miko you are exactly right. When a college education became a right instead of a means to an end, or a privilege, it became a rite of passage and in doing so gave birth to the burgeoning education bubble which is due to pop at any moment. This too is contributing to the realignment frenzy as it is, and always has been, about the pursuit of revenue in any form it might be attained and almost at any price necessary to obtain it. Before the threat of shrinking state and federal expenditures arose there was no serious realignment talk. It is the climate of economic uncertainty that televisions networks are using to rearrange product, not the rearranging of product by the networks that is creating the economic uncertainty. If old line major schools weren't afraid, they would not move beyond a 150 year old comfort zone.

I doubt she'll need to explain it to her church. Every man in the church was probably feeding her drinks, hoping to get lucky...

I'm sorry some of you spent your entire community college years role playing an elf in World of Warcraft and never had the opportunity to party with pretty girls. Lighten up...

I do like the King James version. But I don't believe it...

IMO GOD was created by MAN in HIS image, and it was done to explain that which can't be explained. It's since been co-opted by those who wish to control the thoughts of others. Pick a religion and you'll find the man at the top is trying to mold the world to fit his perceptions...

It's time to drop the religious and anti-religious views & issues. We don't need to close another thread!

Well I don't think there's that much more to say about the party girl.

Then it can just go away on its own lack of interest.
