Just watched last night's Blue Mountain State on Netflix, and I quote, "The biggest sports riots in history happen after big wins. Iowa State, Maryland, New Orleans, LA".


I'm sure they are referring to the veisha riots, but they could be referring to the old tradition of carrying the goal posts to lake laverne.

There were celebratory riots after the Round of 32 and Sweet 16 in '00, as well as an angry riot after the Elite Eight.

Riots? What riots?
Playoffs? What playoffs?
Is that how you become a fball school with a rep?

The "riot" after beating UCLA in the Sweet 16 in 2000 was awesome! Lincoln Way was completely stopped at the Welch intersection. Although I don't know that riot is the right word, there wasn't really any destruction and arrests were minimal.

So it was one big block party?
