    Turbo,
    Did you go to the game last night? Best I've seen us play all year. I stormed the floor afterwards....Anyways, I heard people were throwing stuff at cops, breaking windows, and knocking over benches. Damn, should've been there. Oh well.

    Cool. I wish I had been there. I heard Rick Barnes and the Iowa State coach got into a shouting match. How many people rushed the court? Where was the security?

    Wow. Never, ever in my life have I been apart of what I was apart of last night. I went down to sixth street at about 10:00 for the whole mardi gras scene. It was packed the whole night - bigger than Halloween by my estimation. At about 2:00 AM something/somebody went freaking nuts. Police locked down the whole street, they were spraying tear gas at us. It was absolutley crazy - everyone was going nuts. I think somebody started throwing stuff at the cops and that's what triggered their action. But anyway, it was one wild scene last night, but boy was it fun.
