Conjunction JunctionLooking not unlike a train conducter from Green Bay, this is Tucker, the architect of this tailgating Taj Mahal. If there's one thing that Tucker lives for, other than making the occasional gun case or super gluing the bottom of small Christmas trees (seriously, don't ask) it's Bison football. And more specifically, Tucker lives for the tailgating scene. At the end of last year, the squad beat our rivals from South Dakota State and to celebrate, the team rushed over to the student section, where the newspaper began snapping pictures. Front and center on the front page of the Sunday paper the next day was yours and my favorite tailgating train engineer. That picture has since been reproduced in the season ticket application, the school website, and Tucker's sexual fantasies.
This is all especially ironic considering that Tucker is one of the worst students in NDSU history. One of life's little pleasures on the NDSU campus is the infamous "Bison Day." This is a day when laziness, booze, or most commonly a combination of the two, cause a student to waste the $179,300 he's spending on tuition and skip every class for the day. The occasional Bison Day is good for you. In fact, I'd say that it's healthy to take a Bison Day every now and again. Tucker took it beyond the realm of reasonable absurdity however, when he pulled off the only known Bison Month in NDSU history his freshman year.
Let's add "not going to class" to tailgating, et al. in his favorite things to do.
