VCU surprised everyone by making it into the elite eight, and now even moreso by beating Kansas to get into the final four. I think its great the underdog is so popular, but the celebrations afterwards where a little much. I am all for partying in the streets and drinking publicly, but damaging other peoples' personal property isn't a very cool way to celebrate something.
Heres one vid taken from broad st yesterday. All i hear anyone talking about today is VCU VCU VCU. It doesn't help that i work in a sports bar.

Some vcu fan had a great day yesterday right up until it was time to leave. I heard 5,000 fans chilled outside the siegel center at like 2:00AM last night until the players came home.
Also one article in the paper this morning said there was a group of fans trying to flip over a sentra. WTF? How is flipping over someones Sentra showing support for your team?
Anyways, cool VCU won, not cool their fans suck at peaceful celebration.

Yeah i like the first comment "Btw, the car you're standing on and stomping the s*** out of/f*** up royally is mine. Filed a police report this afternoon and will be giving them your username and if you weren't the one actually destroying my s*** I would appreciate some help IDing the ones that were. I go to VCU too and am really excited about the win but seriously what kind of d!ck celebrates by destroying other people's things?"
They are just excited because VCU has never seen elite eight or final four. Not a lot of big wins from Richmond at all so they over celebrate when they can i guess.

College kids are dumber and dumber each year. We had a bunch of real winners at my school, too. You see, it used to be that only a select few went to these schools, and now every kid gets a chance. When you open something like that up, the dingus factor sets in.

That is perhaps the most eleitist comment I've heard outside the Politics forum. I'm surprised at you, Dave.

At my university and pretty much all of them I ever partied at, it was the more affluent students who usually displayed the worst excess and showed the least respect for property. The ones who weren't there because of mommie and daddy were busy studying their arses off so they wouldn't lose their scholarships, or cleaning dishes in the Student Union to keep up their work-study hours, or tutoring the jocks and didn't have the time (or the disposable cash) to go wreck things up.

Well, you misinterpret what I'm saying then. I wouldn't say "keep all the dumba$ses out of school" ever. It's just a by-product of letting everyone in, that's all. You dig?

You can be educated and not "smart" at the same time, you know...
