i went to frat street last night after the gophers won the championship to watch all the stupid drunks celebrate. they went into an all out release and took over the streets, causing major trafic jams, and proceeded to start a fire a local intersection and tear walk signs of the stoplight posts and break into a few businesses. it was all pretty fun to watch the group energy when it was just trafic jams and screaming, but then these morons had to start throwing plastic chairs into the fire, and throwing styrofoam paper plates into the streets. and why the local businesses?! this just verified my general bias against the whole school spirit jock alcoholic culture. no offense if you like hockey or whatever, but you must admit that the majority of the sports culture is a culture of ignorance and the sports themselves just serve as outlet for rage. i mean, these people were just fucking nuts! kicking random cars with people in it and... it's just so frustrating. whatever. i'll post a link to a friends photos once they are online.

we one last year and a small riot ensued. our win this year made it the first time the championship was one twice in a row since some time in the seventies. naturally, they were charged with some major ego. it was pretty silly, i wish i had had a video camera. there were cops with riot gear their this year, so i figured it wouldn't get too out of hand.

hockey games at the Sullivan Arena here in Anchorage are a pretty big deal. every time i went there would be your average noisy drunken fans, but the only peeps getting in fights are the players. at least the peeps in the bleachers have a little common sense.
people here are generally peaceful IMO, except on the road.

lol, which reminds me, while i was watching the scene somebody pointed out to me that the whole thing was a bit like a hockey fight... the cops just sort of stayed back and let it happen for a while, waiting for it to reach a certain level of danger.

Yes, sports fans are a rowdy crowd of misfits and idiots. I may be addicted to hockey, but I'm nothing like the rest of these tools.
Fucking ignoramouses... soccer ''hooligans'', the inevitable LA riots when the Lakers win the championship that they purchased... humans are a plague.
And riots aren't like they used to be. Now people do it to be arsehole sheep. Back in the 40's and 50's, the Montreal Canadiens fans rioted out of sheer passion. Passion, Goddammit!

you should see soccerriots in europe, they still do it out of passion! Last time when Feyenoord (dutch soccerclub) won the uefa europe cup 1, the fans went nuts and destroyed a whole shopping street and went swimming in the big fountain in the middle of Rotterdam....just sick!
