This is off the Rutgers subject but there is this:

"College basketball fans in Maryland are known for at least five separate riots that have occurred in the last decade and a bit. When the team won a National Championship in 2002, fans used metal barricades as battering rams to battle the police. Somebody even hit a state trooper in the face with a slab of wood, knocking out two of his teeth. In other notable riots, fans committed the standard riot acts, namely [I]flipping over buses[/I], [I]setting things on fire[/I] [my italics], fighting, and just generally exhibiting ruckus behavior.
