OK. so last night was definitely one of the more interesting nights on campus so far. I enjoyed watching the game, it was a very good game. I really prefer to watch games like these as opposed to the 13-1 win because that is the true nature of the sport. Yes it is the world series, but you know what, it is just another baseball game. In the grand scheme of things, it is jsut a sports game. I really enjoyed watching the game, the tension, the excitement, the true enjoyment of the sport for what it is. Both teams put up a good fight, it just happened to favor the Red Sox on this occasion. It began to get ridiculous once the game ended.
I am on the Rescue Team, but due to certain circumstances I can't actually work at this point, but I do have a pager. So I decided this would be a fun night to keep it on. Not two minutes after the game ended, a tone went out for the fire department to respond to St. A's for the fire alarm. At that point, I headed out of my girlfriend's apartment with some of our friends and over to the quad. I see just a huge mob on the quad. No sooner do I get there then the mob moves over to the practice football field. O yay, let us celebrate this win by tearing down a goalpost on the football field. In addition to that they were setting off fireworks.....now lets see how much sense this makes, lets set off fireworks in the middle of a huge crowd where someone can easily get very seriously hurt. I mean, the audacity of some people never ceases to amaze me. As the crowd continued to just get bigger and bigger, we decided a safer place would be to head back to the apartment.....so that is what we did. Once back there the fire department had two additional runs to St. A's.....one for a couch that was on fire outside the townhouses....the police put it out with a fire extinguisher, so what do the idiot students do, o, lets just set it back on fire. When the fire department was on the way, they were told to slow down because the fire was out, but to keep it coming because there was still a bonfire going. So they had to put that out, and they decided it was best to just douse the couch to get the point across that furniture is for sitting not burning. In addition to all of this they decided to knock over two huge flower pots in front of Alumni hall, and flip over the stone benches in front of the science building. Now this is only our small campus isolated from Boston, and this is what is happening......I can only imagine what other campuses were like last night.....I mean seriously people, what does it accomplish........
From the beginning of the year, my friends and everyone have known that I'm a Yankees fan, and they always comment on how they will most certainly convert me.......Highly unlikely. You try to convert me to a Red Sox fan my destroying half our campus (a slight exxageration, but still).....I mean, lets get real people.......are you proud to be a Red Sox fan, cause if I had been one last night, I would be ASHAMED of myself.....it is absolutely ridiculous. I was thinking about converting, but now, I think it is a very small possibility. I'm a Yankees fan and proud of it. I'm not a fan of the destruction of property......o, and did I mention that this was nothing compared to four years ago. Lets get real people.
Can we be a fan of the sport, not a team because that is what matters. I mean, it is only a game.
