Campus Celebrations Went a Little Too Far

[Magic32]

My wife arrived on campus early this morning and saw some unfortunate signs of vandalism. Never understood the violent reaction to celebrating, just be happy. Guess there is much more damage at the Student Union with broken windows, doors, etc.

That’s it? Hell when I was there we burned half the furniture in the Jungle.

While I agree with the sentiment, drinking is (often? usually?) involved in celebrating and some people just can't handle thier booze and/or behave like idiots after having a few. But, all things considered, seen much worse after a victory celebration.

And that was just on a random Thur night……

Yeah, not a good look

There's a video of some dudes trying to break down the doors of the union with a lamp post or something.

Totally too far.

Let’s not turn into a bunch of Karen’s here. The pictures above are standard fare on any campus for any title.

Did "LETS BURN STUFF!!!!!!"happen?

No?

Good thing they memorialized it on video. It'll make their prosecution and subsequent expulsion easier.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups.

 

[Greedo]

Um… first time?

Can you all stop clutching your pearls and let the students be students like every class got to in 2014, 2011, 2004, and 1999?

Yeah a huge part of being a student and celebrating a title win is rioting and destroying stuff. Get outta here with that.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Stupid but this is what happens for every championship everywhere.

As always, it's a select few idiots. Much worse has been done on campuses after chips. If you spent a day inside an undergraduate course you wouldn't be surprised. College students are morons.

 

[UChusky916]

This is practically nothing. Hopefully no one got hurt.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I am not sure which is lamer:

1) the tame celebration on campus last night, or
2) the pearl clutching by alumni who were at UConn back when we knew how to really rock the campus after a big win.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Yeah, not a good look

This shouldn't be difficult to find the perps. A misdemeanor, fine and community service from the legal system and some university level student conduct hearings seems appropriate.

Not to glorify it, but our quad was on fire at halftime and nearly every window in West was broken by the time Khalid got out "We sh..."

 

[CL82]

Yeah, not a good look

This super genius will have the opportunity to explain his actions in court. Hopefully he’ll learn from his mistakes and do better at his next school.

Meanwhile, why are we choosing to talk about a few idiots on the day after a championship? Let’s not bump this thread anymore.

Minor property damage which is not great, but I have not seen a report that anyone got hurt which is most important. Looks like damage done will be fixed quickly….

Same. And a Pac man machine.

Windham Pit, checking in...

We did that for the NIT win!

Wait until you see what that poll did when it fell.
