I like this guy :toast:


A college president has apologized for drinking from a beer bong while tailgating before last Saturday?s football game, promising that it ?will not happen again.?


Dr. Carlos Vargas, Southeast Missouri State University President, said in a statement to colleagues and students that his actions projected an image ?I am not proud of, is not flattering, and certainly not expected from the president of Southeast Missouri State University.?


?During my attendance at a tailgate party prior to the Southeast football game on Sept. 15, I was observed being offered and accepting to drink beer from a beer bong, a device normally associated with excessive or binge drinking, which is conduct I do not condone,? his statement read.

The video of Vargas taking a knee and downing the beer was posted by Barstool SEMO on Twitter with the caption, ?THATS MY PRESIDENT?. It has been viewed over 136,000 times, and received praise from students in the video as well as online.

Because when you are in a position of leadership and responsibility and contained in that responsibility is the welfare of thousands of teens/young adults you accept that you live by a set of standards slightly higher than say, a dump truck driver.

There is nothing wrong with driving a dump truck, but all you are basically in charge of is getting that thing in my way on the highway and driving 12 MPH. People who take beer bong rips can do that profession and nobody bats an eye.

When you make decisions that affect multiple hundreds of millions of dollars and the lives of tens of thousands of kids the parents paying that bill would like to think you are capable of making good decisions, even on your off day (which you don't really have in a position like that).

Hedge, I'd go into greater detail, but I expect you to understand none of this, and you probably left your dump truck running........

I've never done one of those beer bongs but it probably wouldn't be hard to get me to try one. :toast:
