UI Put Up Front For Dads’ Weekend

While companies have to impress the health inspector in order to stay in business, there is no real reason for the dog and pony show that takes place during Dads’ Weekend. The entire weekend has a Mrs. Doubtfire quality about it. If I did have my father visit for the weekend, the last weekend I would want him to see is Dads’ Weekend. It is simply not an accurate reflection of the University of Idaho, and I would not want my dad to see a bunch of lies. This is not to discredit those dads who stay up all night trying to out-drink their son, or the dads who take a page out of “American Beauty” and spend the entire weekend trying to hit on their daughter’s friends. Despite these occurrences, there is a more subdued atmosphere to be found in the area during Dads’ Weekend. It is just not fair to dads of UI students who do not get to see the real University of Idaho/ Cheyenne Hollis , UI Argonaut.

Question: Do some UIdaho fathers really try to outdrink their sons or hit on their daughter’s friends during Dads’ Weekend?
