Check out this footage of UVA fans setting fire to a couch and dancing around while chanting “Seven Nation Army” by the White Stripes in video shot by reporter Austin Kellerman.
Fortunately, no one was hurt and cops reportedly didn’t make any arrests — so all in all, pretty harmless fun.
Other students and fans flooded campus to chant and cheer — the videos are insane!
