The outfield fans tried to when we won the CWS, but the mighty TD Ameritrade Security Commandos rebuffed their efforts. I got a neat video of one of our fans in a walking boot battling it out with a fat security guard and a two large heifers (one a bulldog fan and one security) in a pushing contest.
Man I bet that was awesome. They should have made an exception for us because we are STATE.Quote:

First offense $50K. I think second offense $250K. That is a lot. I'd rather MSU spend that money somewhere else. I think we already got our $50K fine.

The easiest access points would be in front of the band and students having to get creative and walking around to jump the hedges on both sides of the field to get to the goal post unless there is a massive rush to the bottlenecked points and the attitude persists "they cant arrest all of us"
Another point: with shortages of help out there they probably have less security guards at games this year than in years past, so it might be easier with less security.
Man seeing 150 police officers sprint out of the centerfield fence as soon as the final out was recorded was pretty hilarious, it didn't look like they arrested anybody either and just pushed everyone off the field.Quote:

Hazlewood's reaction was an awesome Bulldog moment. I stormed the field but didn't have the balls to hep out with with the goal posts though. Left that to the drunk younger boys but sho enjoyed watching them do it. Glad that one kid didn't get hurt too bad cuz he busted his ass hard when it went down.Quote:

98 is last time I remember.
We didn't even storm the field beating #2 Aub and knowing we were going to #1.
2004 vs Florida. That was the last time.Quote:

I was there that day, Norwood is still running. I guess I was leaving the stadium and didn't notice storming the field. It was a great win for a program that needed some hope similar to now. That was not a great UF team though. Dang Norwood was bad to the bone though.Quote:

Think it was against Spurrier but y'all correct me if I'm wrong. My mind was probably a little fuzzy during some of those games if you know what I mean!!
This has to be the game I'm thinking about when we ran the ball down their throats and we hit the field that day. I swear I think Spurrier was coaching and that visor was getting wore out!!! Man I almost had a gator helmet!Quote:
