Fires after West Virginia Wins?

[Brock Landers]

What is with this hillbilly shit anyway?

Don't these people have a concept of celebrating responsibly? I mean is EVER win for them so big that they need to make themselves look like moron's?

Anyone with an insider's view or opinion, please let me and the rest of us know what is going on here.

Hillbillies? Come on, Brock, what then will you call the people in LA, Detroit, and numerous other places where fires and riots have broken out after various professional and college championships? Yeah, I hate that fvcking mob mentality, but don't put down people with labels like 'hillbillies' - put 'em down for the real reasons, like they are assholes, drunk and stupid, or all 3.

 

[Brock Landers]

I can agree with you Jazz, just a term for the particular "assholes" in that area. Cause all you need ot do is look at their mascot, that says it all for me. Some Daniel Boone lookin motherphucker LOL

 

[Jazz]

Cool - just that I know some good people in WVA, and that sorry-ass mascot notwithstanding, not one of them owns (or will admit to owning) a still.

I guess i just don't understand the reasoning for looting or rioting after winning games. I mean half the people in a particluar city where these games are being played could care less, the other half is looking for an excuse to destroy things. I was in/around Chicago during the Bulls 6 championships, the first 3 were some scarey shit too, the ghetto's were lit up with fires and bullets flying all over. Looting seemed to be people's "rights" after big wins.

I don't know, i just don't get it. Have a beer or something and end it there

Another WV question.

What do West Virginians do on Halloween?
Pumpkin.

The fires in the streets have been tradition in Mountaineer country for years. It is merely a drunken display of excitement.

 

[Brock Landers]

So the fact that its a "tradition" makes it right and OK?? LOL

Good thing it isn't a traition in places like Mississippi to go lynching after big wins or something else foolish...

 

[Jazz]

Want to stop the stupidity? Pass laws governing 'mob' actions, and take away their driver licenses for 1 to 2 years for anyone convicted, and give them a $5,000 fine AND 200 hours of community service as well. Highly publicize this, especially before big games or championships, pass out pamphlets, whatever it takes - then enforce it. When people see what happens, they'll stop.

The West Virginia student body is proof of the negative effects imbredding has on a childs brain development

 

[killy]

not saying it is ok because it is tradition. Just saying that it has been happening for years. They don't seem to mind as the city bills the University Athletic Department for the increase in security. In other words, let the boys misbehave on the University's dime.

Just eliminate the right to assemble. That will take care of these unruly college kids!
Logic that results in fascism. But nobody tore goalposts down or burned a few couches in Nazi Germany g..dam.. it!

note: its easy to spot the drunkards the next day with their 'red' glow!!!
