The Dagger - NCAAB

It's no secret that Chapel Hill, home of the Tar Heels, saw its fair share of revelers on Monday night. This is a slight uptick from most Monday nights; college towns are beer-crazed and all, but rare is the weeknight that sees underclassmen setting mass spontaneous fires. Except at Ohio State. (ZING.)

Anyway, the point of this post is a really mesmerizing time-lapse video developed by the fine students at the Daily Tar Heel, who no doubt took a break from having long, sanctimonious Freedom Of Information Act-related conversations with that one really weird campus reporter who always wears a tie and a fedora to put it together. Student journalism -- it's a balancing act:


See? Told you it was cool. If you squint hard enough, you can see the fires forming! It's like watching a star be born. And if you really strain your eyes, you can see Michigan State's title hopes go up in smoke.

    See, everyone made a big deal when Pitt students set bonfires in the streets when the Steelers won the Super Bowl. UNC helps us prove that EVERY college town is riot-and-bonfire-crazed!! I bet Chapel Hill's city council didn't unanimously pass a new law prohibiting people from putting couches on their porches!!!

    8 students had to be treated for burns....they clearly don't know how to properly set fires in the middle of a large crowd. Jeez, you think they'd have experience at this by now.
