Field rushing

clemson does it as a tradition

Let the kids be kids.

I don’t really mind it one way or the other. Some people act like it is an act of mass criminality which is ridiculous.

Of course, it has also lost a lot of its weight because it happens every single weekend now, and sometimes it happens multiple times in the same weekend. Just like all things, an increase in supply decreases the value.

It is greatly overdone, and not quite harmless. If you are with the visiting team, it makes getting off the field an adventure. At South Carolina, fans trying to get into position to rush the field blocked the exits. I was with a friend who was having some kind of medical issue, and we were lucky that it wasn’t more serious because I had to play fullback and open up a hole just so that we could get out.

I was quite happy that we didn’t rush the field after beating LSU. Beating the top ranked team, or a team you haven’t beaten in a long time at least makes it understandable. But nowadays, it seems to just be folks looking for attention and not a spontaneous reaction of pure emotion.

When Troy won the SBC in 22 and 23, the fans were invited onto the field. Granted, it was only 30k people but still it was fun.

I only ask for one rule:

You are not allowed to rush the field after beating a team that hasn't played for the SEC title since the 91 expansion.

Otherwise, carry on.

You’re forgetting that sometimes a win isn’t just an upset. Sometimes it’s the ticketpunch to the Championship.

That would be why Arizona State rushed

I don’t care. But the fine money should go to a variety of charities. Like the Danny Thomas children’s hospital in Memphis. Shriner’s Hospitals.
