And we celebrated thusly.
Thought I was disappointed to have to have missed the actual game due to being in class (at least I know how to edit motion in 3D now...but was it worth it?), I managed to be in the right place at the right time, as campus is in the heart of downtown San Francisco.
Market Street isn't normally like this. In fact, most of the Bay Area doesn't have streets on lockdown by riot police unless there's some sort of trial involving a man being shot on New Year's Eve. 
This is a scene and an experience that San Francisco hasn't seen in years. As a matter of fact, I'd say that this sports "riot" was fairly tame to what I've seen. We lit couches on fire when UCLA beat USC. Cars were overturned and blown up in LA when the Lakers won the championship last year. But there was alot of pent up frustration being released here in the championship-starved Bay Area, and we celebrated the only way we know how:
