2003 Minnesota Hockey Riots

While I'm jetting away to Madison, I need to keep you rubes busy so you don't cause any mayhem in my absence. What better than to watch the infamous Dinkytown Hockey Riots via YouTube. No matter how many times you watch the riot, it still brings a tear to your eye.
.
This was quite a night at the U of M, the hockey team had just won the national championship for a second time and to celebrate the students got to work. The night was filled with chaos, and the police made the disaster even worse by dispersing the gigantic crowd to all the smaller neighborhoods instead of containing the crowd into one small area where they could have beaten them to a pulp.
.
Grab some popcorn, sit back, relax and enjoy the 8-plus minute video.

Warning: Video contains foul language, brief nudity, irresponsible alcohol abuse, police brutality, violence, arson, looting and felonies galore.

Ahhh memories! Added to my YouTube collection.

Nice sweep of an average BADgers team. Will DU move to Kohl next season? They don't lose there.

As a resident of Minneapolis, that's (still) embarassing. I am reminded of two relevant quotes:

"Knowlege is good" - Emil Faber

"I can't give you brains, but I can give you a diploma" - The Wizard of Oz

Nice site! Kick DU soon!
