Unless you’ve been under a rock for the past week, you know that
the UCSB Gauchos chalked up their first national championship in
decades when the men’s soccer team beat UCLA 2-1 on Sunday,
December 3, in St. Louis. For the round-up of that, see Ethan
Stewart’s story.
For a different sort of round-up, what follows below is a
collection of YouTube videos posted over the past week, showing
just what happens when UCSB students celebrate a national
championship. While we can never advocate throwing plastic things
into the ocean, we do support the enthusiasm and creative urges of
these Gauchos. If you didn’t hear, they tossed a goal into the sea.
If you didn’t see the footage, now you can.
This the actual goal getting tossed into the
ocean.
