...along with a tie-breaking judge from a local music business to keep the competition fair. The winner will receive not only a gift basket assembled by local music businesses, but what both football teams are fighting for inside the stadium: bragging rights. Plus, the last guitarist to get hypothermia at the always-freezing tailgate wins...

One former UC presidential candidate was seen scuba diving at the bottom of the pool, presumably for safety—not voyeuristic—purposes. Later that night, at the Phoenix’s Back to Mykonos, the DJ spun a wicked techno remix of Sting & the Police’s “Message in a Bottle.” An anonymous sophomore girl described the party as “bizzleboring,” but hey, it beats Stein Club.
