The easy answer is b/c I was born between the two games, but why have I not heard of this?

I don't know. Those were pretty significant/infamous.
Luckily JTKSU was able to defend/cover up the K-state involvement for the most part, so most of the blame was placed on angry ku fans. The truth is it was really MJ's fault.
-
I see, was anyone there? I hear MJ can get a bit out of control at times, good thing we have upstanding citizens like JT to help guide us to the light of a greater KSU.

That would be pre Snyder and pre 30 game non-win streak. Most people don't remember much from the era of 2-3 wins and we are happy. I attended both riots :ohno: and even helped some of the stores clean up broken glass after the second one.
-
What were the riots like? I too, was born in between the two.
-
some poor students VW bug got turned upside down. Some windows broke, I don't remember being too concerned about saftety, we definitely don't do it up like Detroit. As I remember a lot of the blame was put on HS kids -probably tennis players. The year after the second riot was hilarious as they had fenced in aggieville with checkpoints to just get into the area.

fatty sr? :peek:

Or MJROD although he would have been a sophmore for the first riot.
An the tear gas shot into the crowd during #2, I believe, was pretty nasty.

Other historical events: Ever hear of the 1982 season and the genius that was Coach Dickey?

The college kids blamed the high school kids and the high school kids blamed the GIs, who blamed the college students, specifically the Greeks. It was a combination of all + too much booze.

I think it was the crowd from Riley (not the Fort)

Surely catfan28 remembers the riots. or ksu_FAN

I was there. 84 was my sophomore year, and was in Aggieville when it happened. I honestly think it has grown in legend over the years. There weren't any real safety issues that I remember. My roommate said a bunch of people rushed a convenience store, started grabbing beer, and chips, and stuff. My roommate, ever a forward thinking person, grabbed gallons of milk, cold cuts, and bread...we ate like kings for a few weeks.
-
We should institute either KSU history or Aggieville history as a required course much like the Texans and their high school "Texas History" requirement.

ROTFLMAO - I can see it now a couple of drunk college students running down the street with bread and milk under their arms :lol: :lol: :lol:

I was still in grade school. The main thing I remember is the pictures of the VW bug that was rolled over.

We made fun of him at first...but then quickly saw the wisdom in his action the next day!

Someone posted a link to a HUGE PDF that had the entire history of Aggieville, from the beginning to present. It was many pages. I think it was here..i'll try and find it.
-
Here we go. Cyclist posted it over a year ago.
Here's a pdf file about Aggieville:

Damn. It's no longer there. :(

why did the University of New Hampshire have a pdf file about the history of Aggieville?

It was a report on campus college life, or something like that.

There were pictures in Rusty's Outback of the riot. hth.

I was still in grade school. The main thing I remember is the pictures of the VW bug that was rolled over.
We were laughing at the bug when it was rolled mainly because there was much anticipation that a second riot might occur, and the streets were almost void of all cars, except for a lonely little beetle. You felt sorry for the poor owner but what where they thinking? :banghead:

I'll have to check for them next time I stop in there.
-
My boss was one of the ku alums arrested in the second riot... I hold it over him quite often. That was the year that Kite's burnt down... correct?
-
They were unrelated events, but i don't remember if it was the same year or not...they all run together after :cheers: err, i mean time
-
Considering I was 3 & 5 for each of them; I just have to go off of what people tell me.

"They were some of the earliest collegiate sports-related riots in the United States."
There's our tradition that the Corn claims we don't have
-
Bah, over blown. We used to party hard then. I remember running down the street with 30-40 people holding part of the goal post and ripping into cars. No wait that was my car. :confused: Anyway.. yeah with a 18 drinking age the party after a victory (they were very hard to come by then ) was intense. There were a few times my friends and I would party somewhere other than aggieville to avoid the "mess". :frown:

I was at all three games.
Didn't make the riot in '84 was a junior in HS and went with my folks, I did get on the north goalpost, when it came down I went home.
'86 was in Aggieville and was walking in the alley behind what is now Pat's BBQ, when a mad rush of the crowd came running at us, we ducked into a doorway to let 'em by and a tear gas hit about 50' from us...we hoofed it out of there, but caught a small whiff of the gas...quite an unpleasant experience.
'87 game was truly rotten. Aggieville was a tomb. We went and drank somewhere else.

Damn. It's no longer there. :(
I saved that thing on my computer for some reason but don't have the slightest idea how I could link it. Could e-mail it to somebody who can.
-
I see my name is being used again.
No, I didn't cause the riot. I was just in the front when it all started. I remember being near the VW when it was tipped. It was a crazy night. I was pretty well drunk.
And yes, I was a sophomore.
God, do I feel old.

I was classless before it was cool.

Jmart, I hope you're reading this. It's the scoop of a lifetime. MJROD and KSUfans are responsible for the riots in aggieville.

WOW, MJ. Thanks for that link. Very informative and interesting. Wouldn't you LOVE to see pictures from begining to end? Or pics of the bonfires, rallies, riots, hippies sitting on the sidewalks, etc.? Anyone have any, or know where to find some????? :-[

I remember everyone having to explain even the simplest things to you, so I can imagine why you're confused about this.

Just finished reading all 47 pages - pretty interesting. Diane Meredith, the lady who owns The Dusty Bookshelf sounds like a b*&#h.

Picture? You mean like photographs? This was pre-digital. Who in their right mind takes a camera to a riot? If you take any camera to a riot then the rioters would likely kick your ass for taking pictures. Do you people not know riot etiquette? Really! Do us OLD guys have to explain? :shy: :users:
-
"Baghdad on the Kaw"
awesome....has a whole new meaning now.
-
There were pictures in Rusty's Outback of the riot. hth.
I was just there and looked around, couldn't find them in the outback we didn't check the other parts though.

Like a news person couldn't have taken any pictures? Especially in 1986 when they were "prepared" for another POSSIBLE riot. Also, there REALLY should be some pictures somewhere of the very early years, rallies, etc.
-
Don't misunderstand, there were pictures. News crews got attacked by mobs for taking them. Some people were arrested for trying to get the cameras. Let me clue some of you in. During a riot its a mob mentality for most of the people present. Normal behavior does not apply. You have a camera and someone may just swing a bat at your head. Its a very scary place to be. It was dangerous there even for KSU fans. ku fans literally ran like their lives depended upon it. They sorta did. Lokking back it doesn't seem as bad. But I clearly remember a lot of us having some very close calls. The feeling at the time from most of us students was that it was a good time that was was taken out of control my a relatively small group of non-students high or drunk. You have to remember the context of the times. Half the people I knew then were stoned by saturday night.

Read this and emailed the author to tell him I thought the paper was very informative and well written. Small world, he is a professor at the University of New Hampshire and...... he graduated with a BS in Journalism from ku.....
