"Those still at the corner of Ithan and Lancaster lit on fire a bush that had been torn from a flower bed and danced around it. "

I don't understand this behavior.

When Rutgers wins a national championship in football or basketball, what will New Brunswick look like?

Complete chaos

Heck, after after Rutgers beat the ville on Thursday night in November 2006, complete pandeonium broke out

Don't get the whole "let's get destructive" but....If RU ever wins a NC , CA will be total out of control. I guess kids will be kids.

I doubt a lot of those people there even go to the school. In 85 some of my roommates drove to Villanova after they won just to party.

 

[bac2therac]

its just the nature of the beast. This celebration seems rather tame compared to some others

 

[Scarlet Shack]

There was a lot on pandemonium on college avenue the night we won the A10 championship as well. A lot....

 

[RU4Real]

Ah, Philly...

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

I thought the game was tonight, missed it.

Would NYC celebrate if a NY city or NJ/suburban school were to ever win? I'd say it's pretty cool the entire city got behind Villanova. Yes, a few got out of hand, but not so many, really.

probably not. Its not unusual in NY/NJ like it is in Philly

Unfortunately, us Maryland fans are known for destructive celebrations. The provocative Prince Georges County Police Department always seems anxious to fan the flames, literally...

edited to add: I don't understand the mentality of breaking things to celebrate something. I'm the happiest drunk you'll ever know...

Ah, Philly...

need to rotate those tires.. or gonna need a new set in the front pretty soon.

Isn't that what the guy on the SUV is doing? Rotating the tires?

Just look up Delafest videos. NB would probably be on lockdown.

Imagine if a Philly school won, like Temple or St Joe's?

Good thing the suburban PA school won and not a Philly school.

 

[redlight123]

No need to worry. Long way off. Lots of violence in NB now.

 

[RUSK97]

Well at least they didn't burn any couches and then try to shove them through a door opening.

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

I would love to get the chance to set New Brunswick on fire someday..

 

[Knight Shift]

Saw that Villanova cancelled classes today to accommodate the celebration.

UNC did not have to make similar plans to cancel classes for the athletes in the event of victory. . . . .

You need a reason?

Move to West Virginia, the couches await
