okay, there was supposed to be some comments that went along with the video, however, they didn't transfer so I'll put them here. First of all....
WARNING: while the language in the video is, for the most part, good, you can in a couple of spots hear the camera man swear. The beginning of the video is as far as I can tell clean, so if you want to hear what the crowd sounds like and then turn it down some, then you can do that.
My dad and I missed this riot by about 5 minutes. We went downtown to see what the town was like after the football game was over. Apparently, 'peaceful celebration' lasted about 10 min, then turned ugly. When we drove down Beaver Ave, which for all of you non-townies, is the place where most of these sort of nefarious undertakings occur, there was as you can see in the video, a human tunnel big enough for one car to pass at a time. They acted like they were going to rock our truck, but it was (thankfully) half-hearted. Thankfully especially since my dad had lawn equipment and gasoline in the back. We high-fived them as we drove along as we figured it was better to pretend that we were as happy as they were in order just to get out of there. One guy reached in and messed up my hair and the passenger mirror was pushed in, but for the most part, we got out of there before the mayhem broke loose. Actually, I don't think the 'riot' had actually broken out in the video yet either. I'll post some more vids, or you can go on YouTube and type in 'PSU riot'. Also the local paper, The Centre Daily, has photos of the events with descriptions. I recommend checking out their website, http://www.centredaily.com
I took some pics with my phone that I will post. Most didn't turn out well, but at least you'll be able to get the idea.
