Certain Penn State students didn't look so good before last year's home loss to Ohio State [Warning: that link may not be for the church-bound this morning], and a much larger number aren't going to come out of last night's win in Columbus with reputations intact following post-game riots back in State College:

A celebration of Penn State’s 13-6 win over Ohio State on Saturday turned destructive as people pulled down light poles and street signs, climbed atop cars and tossed objects off balconies in downtown State College.

Revelers in the crowd, which stretched from Beaver to College avenues, between Garner and Pugh streets, and up to Locust Lane, tore down at least two light poles, a stop sign and a one-way-street sign.

Shoes, water, toilet paper, pots, pans and even a newspaper box were tossed into the crowd. Cars were damaged and several small fires were started, but quickly put out.

Hundreds of people were maced and police were able to clear the streets around 1:30 a.m., after more than two hours of the disturbance.

Students cheered for Penn State, screamed obscenities about Ohio State, body surfed and climbed street light poles to get better angles for cell phone photos of the crowd.

Those amateur cameramen did fairly well, too. You-are-there footage is already floating around the Web, so if you're skeptical of the official reports by The Man, you can more or less see for yourself [Auto content warning: though I detect literally nothing intelligible in the following clip aside from "We are! Penn State!" click at your own risk]:

A friend of mine once hypothesized that Black Bloc-type anarchists trolled campuses during big sporting events, looking for opportunities to instigate havoc. Interesting idea, but only if you think college kids are actually vulnerable to political action. Victory and alcohol is far more combustible.

Give the kids this: apparently no one was injured. Just good, clean, old-fashioned property damage and vandalism. I mean, what's college for, right?
