April 7, 20196 yr http://www.kcbd.com/2019/04/07/lubbock-police-use-tear-gas-disperse-crowd-tech-fans-take-streets/ Quote LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Lubbock police eventually used tear gas to disperse a rowdy crowd after Texas Tech’s big win in Minneapolis. A huge crowd clogged the streets around Texas Tech campus, shutting down traffic on Broadway, 19th, University and Marsha Sharp Freeway, with the most activity concentrated at Broadway and University. Witnesses saw people burning couches and damaging cars, including one flipped over. The city of Lubbock issued this statement at 12:38 a.m.: “After the Texas Tech Men’s Basketball team defeated Michigan State in a NCAA Championship Final Four game, hundreds of fans gathered on Broadway, near University. The crowd engaged in extremely dangerous, and disappointing, behavior including vandalizing property. We are proud, and excited, for Texas Tech, but behavior like this will not be tolerated. We want Red Raider fans to support the team and celebrate lawfully and responsibly. We are on the national stage so make Lubbock proud.” Or https://www.lubbockonline.com/news/20190407/fandemonium-lubbockites-celebrate---some-too-much---after-texas-techs-final-four-win Edited April 7, 20196 yr by Vito Andolini

April 7, 20196 yr I don't understand destruction of things when celebrating can one of the trashy tech fans explain this phenomena?

April 7, 20196 yr Meh. Cut them some slack, this whole being good at sports thing is new to them. To be fair, if Texas ever gets this close to a Final Four Championship I might burn a couch myself. Edited April 7, 20196 yr by Eldodroptop
April 7, 20196 yr Obviously the police and administration failed to make their points more compelling than their fat little girlfriends.
April 7, 20196 yr Author LUBBOCK, TX - (Wire Reports): Mayhem in the streets of Lubbock overnight, as rioters destroyed four downtown blocks, including some of the most valuable property and structures in this West Texas city. Damage is estimated at $50,000.
April 7, 20196 yr This is why we can't have nice things. And over a semi-final win?? WTF?? Makes no sense at all. And I thought I was stupid for mixing what I drank last night and having a god-awful hangover today.

April 7, 20196 yr I grew up in Lubbock. I would've been surprised if this hadn't happened. People rioted when the freakin women's team won the title back '93. No one was killed; the town will recover.

April 7, 20196 yr Those impatient morons probably jinxed the team. Can't say I'd be sad if UVA wins this now.

April 7, 20196 yr "...rioters destroyed... some of the most valuable property and structures in this West Texas city." $50,000 🤣

Just clarifying this is a joke news lede I created, thinking everyone would understand four blocks of the best Lubbock has to offer downtown has to actually be worth a lot more than $50K, which is probably more like what a shitty 1 bedroom house costs. But maybe it’s closer to the truth than I thought.
April 7, 20196 yr It's almost like none of you were on the drag when we beat Nebraska for the Big-12 football title in 1995. Much "fandemonium" including an overturned bus. I was there and it was amazing. Party on, Tech.

April 7, 20196 yr Well, I guess they will never have to worry about this happening in Bryan/College Station.
April 7, 20196 yr This had nothing to do with the game. Somebody on a Texas board suggested UT might be able to get Beard.
April 7, 20196 yr I’m sure nothin like this would ever happen in East Lansing...Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
April 7, 20196 yr Why no tortilla throwing? Is that tradition dead?Need the thousands of tortillas to both spike the economy and act as a good base to start the couch fires.
