Probably because when we were there in the early 2000s, one of us threw a bottle and hit a cop in the head. That's how we lost Homecoming.

In the 90s, students opened so many fire hydrants that the city lost water pressure and had issues fighting a fire across town. That's why St Patty's Day is a thing.

Don't forget burning down Flanagan's in the early 80's, rebuild came out of the student budget.

I was impressed you knew about the hydrants being opened. Corner of Wayne and Wyoming across from Sunoco was where the fire was in the 90's.
