This isn't a Tiger-Cat fan phenomenon either. Last year, McMaster spearheaded a big push to give a high profile to their Homecoming game. At first it seemed nice. There were numerous signs on lawns which I recall were provided by the McMaster Alumni Association.

I speculated that they were involved as a long-term plan to generate donation funds by giving people an American homecoming weekend experience. Mac's website states that "Affinity reunions, a gathering of alumni based on their involvement with a particular group or common connection, also take place on Homecoming Weekend." It certainly seemed like a good way to give graduates warm-fuzzy feelings to encourage donations.

This football game did seem to turn into a much bigger event and drinking started early in the morning. It kept going right up to the game, which is where the peeing came in. Dozens of students walking up Sterling were stopping to urinate in people's hedges, though the girls had a preference for the little copse of trees in the little parkette at Oakwood Place. The next latrine was the ravine and the final stop that I could see was the shrubs just at the entrance to McMaster itself. Wow. The best and the brightest.

Maybe it has something to do with football...
