Did we win a national championship or something? Why else would there be fires and dangerous riots in Dinkeytown? Spring Jam was the excuse for partying that got WAY out of control. Here are some of the highlights...

9:00 AM - parties begin
5:00 PM - residents begin reporting parties get raucous
8:00 PM - street bonfire begins on 1300 block of Seventh St.
10:56 - riot Police arrive
11:08 - pepper spray is used
11:10 - Police use concussion grenades !!
12:00 AM - activity calms down, many officers leave the scene
12:35 AM - street fire resumes
12:45 AM - concussion grenades are in use again
12;50 AM - arrests are made, fire is put out

What a crazy situation. Kids these days just can't seem to handle their alcohol. Turns out many are being evicted and some may face expulsion.

We have Cal on the schedule this fall. If you want to get a jump on what the Bears are all about check out California Golden Blogs' recap of the Spring Game.
Ohio State also had their spring game and had what was very likely the smallest crowd to watch a football game in the Horseshoe all year. ONLY 95,000+ people came to watch.
Tom Buske was named Co-Big Ten Pitcher of the Week.

Kids can still handle their alcohol

Just not these idiots. The people that were involved in this are morons that don’t think before doing things, it’s that simple. Rioting for a reason is stupid.. rioting without a reason, as they were during Spring Jam weekend, is beyond idiotic. They deserve to be evicted and potentially suspended, although I’m not sure if there is any precedent for this sort of thing affecting the academic standing of students.

As a student here at the U I’m embarrassed at the actions of my classmates, as should anyone that has any tie to the campus.

Kill, maim, pillage, burn! Kill, maim, pillage, burn! Eat babies! Badger babies!
