College Students From SUNY Cortland Partied So Hard This Weekend They Destroyed A Neighborhood
There are parties, and then there's whatever the hell this was. A rivalry between two New York colleges resulted in what could charitably be described as unbridled anarchy.
An estimated 4,000 to 6,000 people poured into the streets after SUNY Cortland's football team won its rivalry game against Ithaca.

The president of SUNY Cortland issued a public apology to the community around the school, calling the students' behavior inexcusable.

Cortland police admitted, however, that at a certain point they had to stop arresting people.

At a certain point local authorities had to bring in state police to quell some of the more out-of-control celebrating.
