In which The Daily Tar Heel documents hooliganism

Dan Groot is a midfielder for the Terrapin men's lacrosse team. For some reason, despite his Upstate New York origins, he is a Tar Heels basketball fan.

After Carolina cut down the nets Monday in Detroit, Groot said he wished he could celebrate on Franklin Street. 

Unfortunately, Groot has a busy week getting ready for a weekend date with Johns Hopkins. But thanks to The Daily Tar Heel, he can watch the rumpus from the comfort of home.

Franklin Street: The Celebration from The Daily Tar Heel on Vimeo.

Almost as fun, and no fear of rubber bullets. Phew.

But the real reason I point this out is that The Daily Tar Heel seized a unique opportunity with this video.  It's exactly the type of content that thrives on the web.

In the olden days, you could read a story about the celebration on Franklin Street, sure. Here we get to see it with our own eyes. 

It's a really cool thing. It's the future. And it's comforting to see that at least these college kids get it.
