Green until you die

It was a quiet night in East Lansing as only 15 people were arrested following MSU’s loss to North Carolina in the basketball championship game. The majority of those arrests were for disorderly conduct. Some people were arrested on arson-related charges (cop-speak for burning couches).

The Lansing State Journal spent last night and early Tuesday morning documenting the events as they happened at the epicenter of the Sparty riot volcano. Some brilliant quotes I wanted to share:

8:00 PM MSU police “Traditionally a win is much easier for us.”

9:08 PM after MSU took an early 3-2 lead “It’s over”

10:40 PM "We're Spartans, We're green until we die. It's not over until it's over."

11:10 AM “It’s just 4,000 people looking at five people, throwing beers."

1:05 AM "Win or lose, this is East Lansing, We're in the national spotlight, That increases the value of my degree. There were millions of people watching my team get whopped by the best team in the nation"

"It's a legitimate excuse not to go to class."

1:40 AM when the police started breaking up the crowd "It's not right, Nobody got hurt. Everybody was having a good time. When somebody fell down, we picked them up and kept on going.”
