It's not higher education. It's UCONN.

What this says is that the students allowed into universities are selected for some criteria other than a desire to learn. If universities were selecting for merit and dedication, then there would be few if any inherent security or vandalism problems.

Were they expecting hangings? Better cut down the trees as well, apes love trees.

Yesterday I picked hubby up at the Indy airport. The place has been festooned with welcomes to the Final Four all over the atrium. Hubby said there was stuff all through the terminals, too. Pop up kiosks and such.

He was coming in from Baltimore and most of those getting off were wearing U Conn gear. If I had more time, it might’ve been fun to be a people watcher over there.

People look at the Democrats and often say “We don’t have enough lampposts.”

And here we are getting rid of some of the lampposts we do have. Tsk Tsk Tsk.

Darkness as a cure for vandalism. Is there anything those college people don’t know?

Rooting for both teams this weekend...UConn lost their hockey playoff last weekend...

Exactly.

Deal severely with the vandals, and this disgusting behavior will lessen.

Also, in the weeks leading up to these games, they could have some respected player do public service announcements admonishing the vandalism.

Lastly, let the students know that the games will be canceled if antisocial behavior starts up.

Prudent move in my opinion.

Such warm nostalgia associated with celebrating victories by pulling down goalposts... unless you are one of the unfortunates hit by the falling uprights and/or crossbar.

They would never think of punishing those students who tear down lampposts!

Not much. Drunk students hanging from lampposts has been going on since lampposts have existed at colleges. They did it when I was in college in the 1980s and I saw pictures of them doing it in the 1960s.

“UConn takes down lampposts ahead of men, women Final Four matchups this weekend”. Replaced with what, green cylindrical objects?
