“What is with all these out on control
celebrations? I saw them overturning cars,setting them on fire. I asked one

I remember one yr riots broke out in
Oakland cause the Raiders...lost!
And years later...Vancouver on the
night the can’t miss Canucks were
blanked 4-0 by Bruins in Stanley
Cup game 7..mass destruction
I gues those 69er fans can get rambunctious, huh?
