UConn Student Baseball Fans!
Many members of our campus community are caught up in the excitement of the
incredible series between the Red Sox and the Yankees. Given our geographic
location, the fan base is pretty evenly split on campus. Please be sure that
your excitement for the series and support for your chosen team does not
translate into inappropriate behaviors at the end of tonight’s decisive game.
Let’s show our pride in UConn and enjoy the game responsibly!

What do they expect?? Perhaps some vandalism, some violence? Will there be overturning and burning? HA! It will happen, any excuse to cause mischief. There will be drunken "children" everywhere, scattered over campus, trying to either rejoice or complain, and they will all be reacting in the same way. ::rolls eyes:: In the going on four years that I've been here at Uconn, there have been MANY of these self-same occurrences. It is amusing, as long as my car isn't on campus to receive the brunt of the "fun." (First year there, an event called "Spring Fling" where students and locals - from the entire state - party... A good friend of mine had his truck overturned.) Wonder if they'll bring the state troopers in for this one like they've done before. Heh.
