what are your thoughts on this subject?

i having a debate right now over; if it was acceptable for OSU fans to rush the field after the game Saturday. i feel that if your team is #1 in country, there is no need for it. i also feel that if you are a fan of a major college program, and have won a National Title in the last 20 years, then you also have no reason to rush the field after a big game.

i also don't feel that Tennessee fans rushing the field was wrong, when we beat Florida in 98, but i would feel differently if our fans did it now.

is there certain criteria to be used to decide if acceptable or not? if so, what should that be?

you just beat your biggest rival who was #2 in the country and undefeated and you just assured yourself a spot in the National title game.

i have no problem with it. It's not like they rushed the feild after beating N'Western.

if UT was #1 and we beat a #2 FL or Bama on the last game of the season to win the conf. and slam dunk a spot in the NT Game, do you think the feild would get rushed? Me thinks so.

Also, it isn't like they were rushing the field and tearing down the goal post, they were just celebrating. I don't see anything wrong with rushing the field and celebrating with the team. I have rushed the court at a few basketball games, and it is awesome.

did you see the armada of police they had blocking the goal posts? that's why they didn't come down...if they aren't there...those things are in someone's garage today.

I saw the police coming out, but I didn't know they were specifically protecting the goal post.

i just don't see the point of the #1 team in the nation doing it. they were favored in the game and it's not like this is A) their first #1 ranking B) their first NCG berth C) the first time they beat Michigan to clinch an undefeated season D) the first time they beat Michigan.

i can see Louisville doing it after the beat WVU or Rutgers after they beat Looye-ville. first big wins in the history of the program.

i guess i am the only one who subscribes to the 'act like you've been there before' theory.

It was a bunch of college kids running out there to celebrate together with their team. It was the first time ever that these two teams have faced each other when both were undefeated and ranked 1 and 2 in the country. It was arguably the biggest game ever between the two teams and it secured a spot for OSU to play in the National Title game.

I noticed they said at the end of the Louisville-West Virginia game that they used collapsing posts that was taken down easily and quickly after the horn sounded. Smart ideal!
