The Baylor basketball team capped off the 2020-21 season with a national championship after upsetting the No. 1 Gonzaga Bulldogs, 86-70, in the NCAA Tournament final.
As you might expect, the Bears fans were ecstatic to bring a natty home so they stormed the streets to celebrate the big win.
And, as has become a tradition among college fans, couches were sacrificed and set on fire.
The couch burning begins in Waco.
Big gathering happening right now after the title game at 10th and Daughtrey.

There were also fireworks being set off throughout the night.
But it wasn’t all explosions and flames. Fans who watched the game inside of McClane Stadium stormed the field after the final buzzer for an epic celebration.
Congratulations, Baylor. You earned it.
