Now you're changing the subject.

15,000 isn't MOST people in KY, dude/

Nice try, though.

alright I will edit my original thought since the word "most" is throwing you off

you didnt see anything near like this after LSU won the NC in 2003 or 2007 or the Saints winning the Super Bowl...everyone just goes out to bars or their friends house and has fun, there were no riots at all...why do Kentucky fans do this? is it just a midwest thing?

Good for y'all.

Midwest? Hardly.

I love it when LA residents act like South LA is the epitome of Southern. Couldn't be further from the truth.

Im just talking about rioting after wins

West Virignia does it, Tennessee does it, Indiana did it, Kentucky does it..why?

that is all I am asking, Louisiana has other problems obviously I am just trying to understand the mentality of it

There may have been 15,000 "in the streets" but I highly doubt 15,000 people were actively taking part in burning shite. Probably a lot of people walking to the bars or just in the street drinking peacefully. That's how it was last year when I was in Lexington for the tourney after beating UNC.

Kentucky does it..why?

Unless you've lived in or atleast spent a substantial amount of time in Kentucky, you seriously cannot comprehend how basketball crazy the whole state is. It's almost sickening. Kentucky hoop fans are the most die-hard fans that I can think of, and thats not just college - I'm talking every fricking sport. While I wouldn't condone this behavior at my school, the riot like atmosphere in Lexington didn't surprise me one bit and it looked like a good time to me I was up there when they beat NC to go to the Final Four last year and I didn't think it could get any rowdier. Can't imagine the NC celebration in person

I hear this all the time from LSU fan...the deal is, the majority of the base went to New Orleans during the game and celebrated in the quarter.

Yea, tell me about it.

Anyways, I'm not saying South LA is NOT Southern. I'm just saying it's kind of an anomaly within Southern culture. It doesn't really fall in line with mainstream Southern culture.
