I haven't been following the NCAA tournament too closely, but given that
three of my schools are in the *men's* Final Four (Kansas, Wisconsin,
Maryland), I might go out and flip cars over.
Hell, I'd just love to flip cars over for any reason just as long as somebody else hosts the riot.
I got to take part in the street celebrations after KU won the NCAA tournament in 1988. If only more of our activist protests could be that large, energetic, and high-spirited.
Frankly, right now, I'd just be happy if somebody went and disrupted the NCAA tournament. It's just a bunch of young guys playing basketball!
