Idk. I was actually an RA at uconn for 3 years. and I graduated in 2011when we won with kemba. this must be a notice for Saturday night since quiet hours start at 10 on a Monday. or this is fake.
Also good luck stopping people from rioting. You can only hope they go do it somewhere more centralized. Derek ain't stopping shit. He actually probably made it worse.
Also, for every derek there's about 3 to 4 RAs who don't give a fuck and just want a free single room and some spending money. Derek type RAs are also some of the most frustrating ppl to work with.

He has a point, though. I like his, "remember, you're cheering for laundry," line.
People get way too excited about cheering for other people playing sports.
I like partying hard as much as anyone but I don't take it to another level just because some guys I don't even know won a basketball game.

It's the other way.
It's cool, you're a Raiders fan, we know you haven't had a chance to party too hard in a long time.
I live in Boston and we used it as an excuse to party hard simply because it's a New England team. This city, and colleges like UConn, are hotbeds of passionate sports fans. You could make an argument for everything being pointless you fucking debbie downers, but you might as well enjoy the ride (which, I think, IS the point of the life)

It's not about partying hard just because some guys you didn't know won a basketball game. It's about the pride you have in your school.

I party hard every weekend. I don't need a bunch of dudes winning a football game to give me a reason to enjoy my life like you do.
I think the point of life is to enjoy yours and not try to live vicariously through people who don't give a shit about you.
When the New England patriots win a playoff game, it's not because of you. You've done absolutely nothing to warrant any credit or act like you just won something.
The point is to enjoy it but don't get carried away about shit that has no impact on your life. Whether they win or lose has no bearing on your job, family, or life.
When I was a kid I would get super excited about my team winning. Now I'm 28. These guys are around my ages, some way younger. I don't get too low or too high when they win or lose because it's a game and I got more important shit going on in my life to give a fuck about these kids winning or losing a bball game.

If you're not going to go nuts when your favorite team wins the title then there's no real reason to follow sports in my opinion.
But so many people use these title celebrations as an excuse to loot and be destructive that it kind of makes people who couldn't care less about sports wary of "fans".

The reason to follow sports is so you can go nuts after your local team wins?
I'm happy for the guys that put the time and work in. They deserve it. I follow sports because I was an athlete and I enjoy watching sports..,I don't need to go nuts or cry or act like a lunatic win or lose.
Celebrate it responsibly and enjoy it but don't act like an idiot.

Gonna ignore pro sports for a second here -- I do think there's something to be said for civic pride but I'm the type who only roots for my hometown and I know that doesn't apply to everyone, and besides, the players are mercenaries anyway. It's not their hometown team, they just rent townhomes in nice suburbs 45 minutes away for a few months out of the year.
However ... college sports are different. If you attend or attended a university which has a football or basketball team win the national title, that means so much revenue and monetary value has been added to your school that it does in fact affect you. Out of state enrollment tends to soar at any given university following a national championship. Higher OOS enrollment = more revenue for the school, a larger endowment, higher national academic rankings, etc.
For better or worse, athletic success is a huge factor in how American college are perceived and valued. Five years ago i'm walking around NY trying to find a job with a degree from LSU, a pretty mediocre school from a pretty terrible region for education, in a region where I'm surrounded by graduates of much more reputable academic institutions. Of course, first thing my eventual boss says in the interview after glancing at my resume, "oh wow, great football team. I've heard the tailgating experience is crazy down there!" ... That leads to a 20 minute conversation. He's a Notre Dame fan it turns out. He likes college football. He has only heard of my school from college football. But hey, common ground.
... He never got around to asking me about the school's broadcasting program. Because who gives a shit? As sad as it may be, the value of my education is directly tied to the fortunes of the football team.
So yeah, when my school wins, I'm not celebrating because the guys wearing the right colored laundry won. I'm celebrating because all the money and resources that have been dumped into this pursuit by myself and fellow students/alumni/faculty/players/coaches/staff etc. has paid off, and will yield additional money, resources and recognition down the road.
As for the rest of you bandwagon fucks cheering for a school you didn't attend, meh. Find a hobby. Losers.

I follow sports to celebrate when my favorite teams win. :kanye:
I think if you read my entire post you can deduce that my definition of going nuts is confined to loud noises, finger pointing, and high fives.
Anything more is barbaric. :lesmug:

That's exactly what I'm saying and I think that is what the RA is trying to say.
