Apparently not as crazy as it was. I was there from 2018-2022, after covid is was a lot more tame IMO. From other ppl i talked to while I was there it was nothing like it was back in like 2000s and early 2010s

Even in the early to mid 2010s it was slowing down, the admin started cracking down on things like the "riots" after Super Bowl/World Series and events like Blarney as they wanted to reform the school's image. Heard stories about Hobart Hoedown as the event that predated Blarney and was said to have been significantly more out of control

Hobart Hoedown was always a blast, waking up next morning to destroyed plastic lawn chairs as far as the eye could see
