Watching the end of the KY-SC game and are we the ONLY SEC school that prevents our fans from rushing the field??? Rushing the field after beating bad SC team? Really?
And, by the way, how in the world did SC ever beat GA because they are terrible.

Isn't it a fine to rush the field? And each time the fine is increased?
I'm sure we'll rush the field after Vanderbilt game when we clinch the West.
No students talked about rushing that I was with. It was expected.
If someone died or got seriously injured at Ole Miss during the rush as the rumor is going, then they will increase the penalty for rushing the field significantly....
Why would we have wanted to rush the field today? SERIOUS question. We were favored and We MORE than took care of business.Quote:

OM fans, rightfully so *cough* *cough* 10 wins in 100 years *cough* *cough*, rushed the field. But it is funny, though. They accuse us of being the lesser program, yet we are the ones who act like we know what we're doing when our teams win.
Gosh, that is NOT the point. Its not we should be planning to rush the field when there is "reason to do it", its that these other SEC schools should STOP their fans from rushing the field. Apparently, there may have been a serious incident today at OM and my daughter was in the Auburn crowd that rushed the field after the Iron Bowl last year and it was a very dangerous situation as well.Quote:

I'm not sure whether to take #1 as a compliment or an insult...Quote:

Jeeeze dude. UM beat Bama for the first time since I have been alive. I'm 50. If they want to storm the field then more power to them. If I was in their shoes my old butt would have tried it. I would have probably been carried off on a stretcher.Quote:

I would not expect MSU to encourage it. I think there's a bigger fine if the school encourages it, although I may be mistaken about that. I imagine that there is a lot of liability if the school encourages it and someone gets hurt.
I'm OK with fans rushing the field if the occasion calls for it. But I do understand that it's dangerous. A guy I knew at MSU was kind of knocked out when we tore down the goal posts after the Egg Bowl in 1999. And if I remember correctly, an Ole Miss cheerleader got into a fight with Kevin Sluder's brother or something while the field was being rushed, so you have to be careful dealing with dejected players, personnel, and etc. from the opposing school too. And then Steve Spurrier made up that story about someone beating up the water boy in 2000.
Funny thing is the security team was helping the students get over the railing. If you missed it, go back to the end of the game and see it haha. I doubt a security team does that without being told to allow it.
I get your point but apparently you aren't aware of much if you are 50. Eli Manning's OM team beat Alabama just 11 years ago. More recently than the last time we had beaten LSU before this year. And yes, I can understand OM wanting to storm the field after yesterday but the storming of the field after beating us in 2012 and the KY storming of the field last night after beating a mediocre SC team was ridiculous. The KY fans' actions last night was actually what prompted the thread.Quote:
