UM Students Light Couches on Fire last night
Apparently last night, a few UM fans decided to take the celebrations a little too far.
Contrary to belief, they do burn stuff in Ann Arbor after a big win twitter.com/jackHammerTime…

Pictures weren't appearing, here they are:
we're embarrassed. meanwhile, in EL they are readying a trademark infringment suit against us for usurping their intellectual property.
I want to be embarrassed as an alumnus. I'd be lying if I didn't think after our win last night "I want to burn something." I guess the difference is that I didn't.
Only hope is that Hipster Graduate Students did it ironically.
Who the fuck wants to burn something after a win, or any good moment in ones life...I am most glad you didn't follow the urge

I'm all for celebratory fires (not involving couches, cars, that sort of thing), but I guess them couches just go up real quick.
As long as they aren't damaging public property not really a huge deal.
but IMO a couch burning after a win is more acceptable than a couch burning after a loss. Still doesn't make it acceptable
Students, Dont ever mimick spartans. Terrible Idea and makes my beloved University look bad.
What did you guys expect to happen when we switched to the common app?
we got knocked out in the Sweet 16? Darn
I want to neg the OP purely in hopes that this didn't really happen. *sigh*
burn something that MSU doesn't. Preferably not furniture.
TROLLS!
Find the culprits, expel them and provide bus fair to East Lansing.
It's very shameful to see Michigan carry after little brother and burn couches following a win. It boggles my mind why anyone would burn anything after a win. Yeah, your team won, but don't burn anything or attract the attention of the fire department. Just drink at home and post on Mgoblog and get posbanged and stuff.
Well sadi.
form. Ostracize these cretins.
This made the universe somewhat less right.
How disappointing.
I drove a cab in Ann Arbor from about 1993 to about 2004. Saw couches on fire a couple of times. One was at State & Hoover, don't remember any other locations.
