      I love to hear the comments from the people in the crowd. My IQ dropped 10 points just listening to morons who think they're locked in a battle for humanity with Richmond police dept.

      Those cops weren't screwing around. Tear gas and riot gear. At that point I'd grab a case of Miller Lite and a couple friends and head home.

      Doesn't look like it really got out of hand. We've seen much worse.
      Winning is more fun than losing.

          UNI beats the #1 overall seed to get to the Sweet 16, and what do we do? Stay late at Peppers and have a good time. VCU beats Kansas and makes it to the Final Four, and what do they do? Get friggin' SWAT teams called in! I'm proud to be a Northern Iowan-- no one near as classy and humble as our community.

          (BTW- imagine if the Clones had gotten to the Final Four. They'd have thrown an actual party worthy of tear gas. Think Veishea on crack!)

            I love Panther fans and Cedar Falls, but let's not forget the Homecoming Riot we had here in 1996.

              Same type of event, but not quite the same outcome

                agreed! the quality of the video is like a movie. not sure how he got so close to the action and even IN the police lines when they were busy pushing everyone else back. It's like he was invisible or something.

                  Ahhh, the Homecoming riot! I don't think I was at the big one, but I remember one year me and another buddy from my dorm were standing on the street next to this compat car and it was after they kicked everybody out of the bars early. Some drunk dude runs up and says, "Hey, help me flip this car over." and starts to rock it back and forth.

                  Me and my buddy look at each other with this "Should we help him?" look. (I'm hoping we would have decided against it.) but before we could move about 4 cops ran up and arrested the dude.

                  That was the one time I was glad alcohol slowed down my reaction time.
