Villanova Fans Didn’t Let Greased Poles Keep Them From Celebrating In True Philly Fashion

As a University of Michigan fan, I learned a couple things last night. I learned that if Michigan is cold from behind the arc, it’s damn near impossible for them to generate any momentum. I learned that Jalen Brunson wasn’t the factor that I thought he was going to be. And he didn’t need to be, because I also learned that Donte DiVincenzo is not a character on The Sopranos, but a ridiculously talented player with a questionable Twitter game.

I even managed to learn one thing about myself: That it would’ve brought me way too much joy and satisfaction to see a Villanova fan violently slide down a greased pole (you’re welcome for the visual) during the celebratory festivities last night.

Alas, that last part didn’t happen. Apparently grease has zero effect on Philadelphians, because despite precautions made by the city — similar to those made prior to the Eagles’ Super Bowl win — Villanova fans still managed to celebrate in true Philly fashion.

From CBS Sports:

The Wildcats did, of course, putting a second ring on Jay Wright’s finger and delivering the second major championship to Philadelphia in a four-month span. Efforts were made to prevent reckless celebration in advance of the title game, like greasing the light poles, but once again Philly fans found a way to overcome the obstacles.

CBS3 in Philadelphia captured the images of fans climbing light poles, lighting bonfires and joining in revelry to celebrate the Wildcats’ big win.

At the risk of still seeming salty about that blowout (which I am), I’m surprised no police horses were harmed during the making of last night’s production. Back in 2016, in the midst of Villanova’s post-natty celebrations, four people were arrested for police horse assault.

But all that’s in the past now, it appears. Congrats, Nova, on your one shining moment.

        Actually, I think you were inside my dad’s ass. You’ve admitted on this site on multiple occasions that you like to fuck guys in the ass.

        I’ve been inside your mom’s ass every Monday for the past few months kid I think I know what It looks like. By the way tell her to wipe better before next Monday. And no Mexican food within 48 hours of me coming over. That’s an order.

        Nah, I know you haven’t been in my mom’s ass because you’re gay. You’ve admitted it on this site. But my dad can’t sit down without one of those inflatable hemorrhoid pillows.
