Wildcat's championship less sweet for fans after post-game violence

I had a few comments for the idiots who are responsible for smashing windows, overturning cars, and looting vehicles on live television during the celebration on Fourth Avenue following the Wildcats' championship win March 31. I was sure that Tucson would be a real class act compared to some of the other fans, such as in Kentucky and Chicago, in previous years. Sadly, I was wrong. You took something away from the rest of us, and gave us a reputation that will follow the university for years to come. I can only hope that most of the damage was not caused by UA students. I'm very proud of Lute Olson and the Cats, but you people have nothing to celebrate today. You're pathetic losers. Go home and have another beer.
