The Bones Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Down at Illinois State there was a few thousand people that marched down the streets into the quad, the football field, the library, pretty much all across campus. Anyone else got any stories of taking it to the streets anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio Osuna Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Remember, we're not in Detroit. A friend of mine called me after the game, saying he went to the park near the end of the game to see if anything was happening. There was too much background noise for me to hear him, so apparently there was something going on there. Here in Hyde Park, it was pretty quiet. There was one guy who kept driving around with one of those horns that play songs, beeping it over and over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the chants start going from "Let's go White Sox" to "f*** the police" that's when I got out of there. As the crowd grew you could tell the ratio of Sox fans to idiots who just wanna start s*** goes down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 It's so sad that some segments of the Soxtalk community don't respect their community and can't behave with civility. The Sox go to the series, and some people have to riot..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bones Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 I wouldn't really have called it a riot as much as a parade down the streets. Nothing really happened as far as I know. It was just a great experience to share the win with many other Sox fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Yeah be smart no matter what happens. It's the only way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyWhiteSox Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Just a nice mix of a couple gun shots into the air and fire crackers, along with a few cars honking their horns around here. Nothin' major. In other words, a typical Sunday night in the Gage Park/Brighton Park area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Bones, I heard it out my window but didn't go out to try to catch up with them because they sounded fairly far away. Did you go join in?

The Bones Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 Yeah, I was at my friend's place right by Manchester so we went outside right after the game and got a good group of people together and headed towards the quad. It was crazy to see it grow as we went from place to place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
