Interesting thread.
The numbers are striking in Athens but Pale in comparison to OUr MAC brethern at BALLS or even the other notable drinking schools at Terra Haute or Bloomington. After reading the posts I googled Indiana Excise Police who have been pretty brutal here in Muncie and found a few articles from this year.

Little 500 at Bloomington is always bad but 235 is a new record
http://www.theindychannel.com/news/local-news/excise-poli...I assume the number cited in OHIO are the same arm of government as Indiana's Excise Police.
I was told at a liquor store as the clerk looked out the window and saw my 14 year old to put the beer in the trunk as the Excise Police would pull me over out of the lot if they saw a minor in the car and the alcohol was observed going into the passenger compartment. SOmething is out of control
On the subject of Tailgreat....I tried to park my motorcycle under the apple tree by the Bobcatattack tailgate but was denied access as i did not have a pass. OH well. Had to go over by the med school. Was told I needed to have a pass to park in the Motorcycle parking. 5 bucks. Paid it and took an entire parking space rather than leave it in MCycle parking. Asshole fan challenged me and told me I was selfish and should move it before he ran over it. I took his plate number and took a picture of him and the truck as I told him If I was going to pay I was going to use the whole space. Not like it would hurt for Athletics to provide a few spaces for folks on bikes who could squeeze into smaller spaces at a reduced rate and lessen the impact on parking.
