Its been well over a year since Cortaca 2013, dubbed the ‘Biggest Little Game in the Nation", caused one of the biggest riots the SUNY Cortland campus has ever encountered.
The Huffington post reported that there were between 4,000 and 6,000 people were in the streets. At least one car was flipped, the streets were covered in beer cans and cups, and intoxicated students tossed pillows, tables, chairs and teddy bears into the air. The chaos also earned us a photo montag on Buzzfeed.
Lets take a look back at Cortaca 2013…
The Red Dragons beat the Ithaca Bombers 28-24
So the celebration began!
Students celebrated in the streets
And in the dorms
Shots of whiskey were funneled from a roof
And a tree
They played real-life Mario Kart
This kid even jumped off a roof
Then the cops came..
Accompanied by police dogs
Things got bad
Over 30 students were arrested
The “excessive celebrating” made national news.
A proposal to ban the historic Cortaca football game for one year followed
But president Bitterbaum wasn’t having it
Cortaca lives on, but sadly, it will never be the same. We can all get nostalgic now.
