I can't believe fans at Cal actually rioting over a victory.
I would think winning in Berkeley would be so un-PC.

LOL!
Guess they are trying to shake the "Blame America First" image and
say "Look, we're regular guys here in Berkeley...we can riot after a sports victory
just like every great American city!"

Guess that'll revive the tourism industry there...

Of course, maybe they were rioting due to some sort of "bad karma" or improper
feng shui (sp?) of the football stadium...

Well, they'd lost to Stanford for seven straight years, so there was a fair amount of pent up enthusiasm.

I was at the game. It just wasn't the undergraduate students, but a mix of alcohol-laden alums and some people who never attended college. Really a major embarrasment for a major university.

What to do? Clearly, the vast majority of people on the field (and at the parties afterwards) were drunk. Do we give everyone a breath test before admission? Do we prohibit gatherings after football games? Or is it up to the people in question to learn to control their behavior? In our "blame others" society, people refuse to accept responsibility for their behavior; hence, laws are adopted to reduce to everyone's freedoms. Likely, OSU and the City of Columbus will ban public gatherings after the games (where alcohol is served) and invoke a police state after the games (with $10,000 fines).

It is important to realize that the few are willing to impose major costs on the rest of us. They are too stupid to recognize that liberty requires hard work and self-restraint. Otherwise ...

Startin to remind me of how the Europians act after a Soccer Game. I wonder when the riots will start in the stands.
