Kentucky goes Sparty
Not surprised these fanbases have something in common.
Arrests made, couch fires in Lexington after Kentucky loss
Police in Lexington used tear gas to control rowdy fans and several couch fires were lit in the streets after Kentucky fell to Connecticut in the NCAA basketball championship final.
Government official Susan Straub, said at least 17 couch fires were lit overnight in the State Street area of Lexington and there were 18 injuries, most of them minor and treated at the scene. She confirmed seven arrests but had no further details in releasing a statement early Tuesday...
I just don't understand the whole couch burning thing. When I get really angry, I have no desire to watch fabric slowly burn.
want more than that. They want to watch the world burn.
I thought Alfred said that one?
creeping me out a little now The Batman. Can you confirm just once for me that you know you are not actually Batman? After that this whole thing will be cool.
Why so serious?
you can't blame us. We didn't start the fire. And that fire down below in Lexington looks pretty serious. Let this be a lesson to you college kids - don't play with fire. Seriously, though, how do we sit when our couches are burning? I don't know, man...
to finish most of those fabrics. . . there may be some two-headed and three-fingered little Wildcats and Spartans running around in years to come.
probably already exist.
its better than getting into a fight or throwing bricks at windows, but still...I don't get it either.
Uconn rioted as well. Nothing says school pride like destorying your campus!

I think he might Saab.
Something tells me Derek had himself a horrible, horrible night.
ever been to storrs? theres absolutely nothing there, ill never be shocked how some those mutants decide to spend their time
First the couches get torched, next the school's AD trades in their familiar Blue and White colors for Baylor-like Green and Gold uniformz.
Yes, but we only had 9. And we didn't flip cars.
The part of me that works for a company that provides the thing which supplies what some students put through a window in Storrs is impressed. I mean, you would have to tug pretty hard to get the lugs and connectors in some of these installations to go ....

are the very best kind. go wildcats?
As it turns out, even motivated Vandals are not very good at sports.
My bet is on the concrete giving way, if we're taking odds on this.
If Derek was right and we're just cheering for a bunch of laundry then watching fabric slowly burn seems like an appropriate response. For those unaware of this reference please follow Ace on twitter
Where the hell do you sit when all the couches have been torched?
I hear coolers can be multi-use items.
There has to be some form of social convention change that dictates only one of the teams fan bases is allowed to riot. One team won, and the other lost. They should not get to have the same celebration!!!
I'm finishing my coffee.
I'd smash some windows and flip some cars and punch some nuns if it meant that Chad Lindsay was going to play football at Michigan.
you up, miscreant.
Seems completely appropriate when your basketball team loses a game.
there would be riots on campus in Ann Arbor too.
If Derek's room has been discovered, I assume we're talking about something like this by now...
A couple guys in my house burned a couch for the hell of it last summer in AA (trust me, it wasn't a popular decision). Can't say it was anything special and the firefighters sure don't come with smiles and presents.
The dream matchup of couch burning: Sparty vs WVU. Incidentally, one of the more popular WVU fan blogs is called "We Must Ignite this Couch." Honest.
Kentucky is the new Arizona which was the new West Virginia which was the new Michigan State.
But Sparty will always be the original.
UK fans are the worst I have expierenced at a live sporting event. Yes, worse than OSU or Sparty....
by someone in the building with Michigan/Kentucky. "they're assholes"
