I don’t want to sound like an old fart “Get off my lawn” type person. However, here’s some common sense advice to those students and fans who decide to rush the field IF we beat Bama on Saturday. I am not against tearing one of the goal post down. I prefer we as fans act like we have done it before. However, I understand it’s been a long time and many younger fans have never experienced a big win in their lifetimes.
Please don’t tear up or pull chunks of grass from the field like was done in 98. Respect the field and players who will have to play on it for the remainder of the season. In 98 Jamal Lewis tore an ACL in the game the following week and admitted to the training staff that it was probably due to stepping in a divot that was created the week before. All I am saying is don’t do that this Saturday if the Vols win and you decide to go onto the field. Turf can’t be repaired that quickly for the following weeks. Just common sense.
