Is this just a CF rule, or are students not allowed to rush the (basketball) court either anymore?

It's just a CF rule.

Technically, we can rush the field. The problem is that there are too many scared vaginas that don't. If everyone chose to rush the field, I'd like part time event-one staff try and do something about it.

12/10/2012 6:49:43 PM

I thought someone emailed Debbie Yow about it and she was all "hell no I almost died durnig a field rush"

12/10/2012 7:08:18 PM

I don't remember exactly, but I thought she strongly advised against rushing the field. But didn't explicitly say that it cannot be done. Basically, if everyone chooses to rush the field, you can't stop them.

I may be remembering that incorrectly, though.

12/10/2012 7:19:21 PM

I was the one that emailed her. And it is not allowed.

"With all due respect, no one can "address" the issues of thousands of fans rushing the field. That is why there is a $25,000 fine in the SEC if it happens at any of their stadiums. Neither you nor anyone else can control thousands of people on the football field. I have been part of a field rush when there was a close call. A 14 year old was inadvertently knocked to the ground by the crowd rushing closer to players. She panicked because she could not stand up, as others began to step on her. A football player saw this develop and "parted the seas" of people by covering her body with his until there was a chance to help her up. She could have easily been trampled instead. The safety of our fans will always trump the celebration at CF. Glad you were there to be part of the terrific night. All the best to you. In the spirit of the Pack, Debbie Y."

22 year old me would be outraged. 31 year old me understands that at a football game, 8,000 drunk college kids rushing the field is a recipe for disaster.

Basketball is different simply because it's a smaller number and alcohol, in general, isn't an issue.

I have seen the police staff at the football field carrying around what look like large stainless-steel fire extinguishers. I've always assumed they were full of tear gas or pepper spray based on the huge fuckin nozzle and hose attached. I suspect that if a wave of students tried to rush the field, they'd quickly find themselves choking as hard as our football team on the field.

12/11/2012 4:39:03 PM

^ not sure if serious. The only fire extinguisher looking things I ever saw were for the pre-game fireworks/sparkler things. Could you imagine the fallout if they immediately tear gassed a bunch of students for rushing the field?

12/11/2012 4:45:11 PM

^There were cops holding them late in the game, I doubt they were fire extinguishers. They were just fire extinguisher shaped, and had nozzles that looked like oversized fire extinguisher nozzles... Why would cops be holding huge fire extinguishers late in a game?

12/11/2012 4:48:02 PM

^^ They tear gassed a bunch of students probably 5 to 6 years ago. can't remember what game. i had to help some dude back to his seat that couldn't see. It stung my eyes and i wasn't close.

don't tase pepper spray me bro

[Edited on December 11, 2012 at 4:50 PM. Reason : up]

12/11/2012 4:49:41 PM

They are giant cans of pepper spray that look like mini fire extinguishers. Every 4th officer had one at the FSU game.

12/11/2012 4:52:33 PM

That is ridiculous.

12/11/2012 7:44:15 PM

When i rushed the field after we beat fsu in 2002, a guy 10 feet away from me got blasted in the face with pepper spray hose and projectile vomited all over the chick next to him

12/11/2012 7:45:58 PM

I've been pepper sprayed at a game, we are definitely not allowed

12/11/2012 8:06:27 PM

I was the chick that got projectile vomited on at the fsu game in 2002

12/11/2012 10:35:45 PM

12/11/2012 10:49:14 PM

I beat FSU in 2002.

(actually, I left the game in the 3rd quarter to drive to Lumberton, NC, to tell my now-wife's parents that I was going to propose to her)

[Edited on December 12, 2012 at 12:06 AM. Reason : yep]

12/12/2012 12:05:12 AM

I was too busy being 13 to rush the field that time.

12/12/2012 12:14:05 AM

I was there but 11

12/12/2012 12:22:59 AM

i'm pretty sure i was at that one. i know i was at the one in 2000 sitting on the hill before it was bowled in. got destroyed that game, so no need to rush the field.

12/12/2012 12:28:17 AM

Pepper spray is a bitch

This too was my reaction. I guess no one cares.

Why don't they just dig a moat and fill it with alligators and sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads, build a fortified buttress on the other side, and post snipers every 50 feet if they are that hard up to prevent people from rushing the field.

They could also have one of those planes you see at the beach run a streamer giving the url to one of the many tww threads that preach against rushing the court/field because we are "too good" of a team to do it.

they've tear gas'd students multiple times. im surprised you kids dont' know this

12/12/2012 8:45:04 AM

ITT we find out that people think pepper spray and tear gas are the same thing.

12/12/2012 8:55:20 AM

but were y'all out there when they broke out the mustard gas

I am proud to say that I rushed the field when we beat FSU in '98. They were basically unbeatable at that point, but Torry Holt was a machine. I wasn't able to climb up on the goalpost until it was already starting to bend over, but I helped ride that bitch to the ground. We got it out of the stadium, down Trinity and Blue Ridge before the cops even caught up to us. They just followed us and looked on amused. When we turned from Blue Ridge to Hillsborough, there were some fans in an SUV that were driving right next to us. They were shouting out the windows at us and shit. Well, 50 people carrying a goalpost is kind of like playing Ouiji and the thing suddenly swung around and whacked their windshield and cracked it. Then the cops got all pissed and kept shouting for us to stay off the road. We made it all the way up to Waffle House / Meredith and then the cops had enough. They stood in front of us and shouted "everybody drop the goalpost". I immediately shouted "nobody drop the goalpost." Then I got hit with a maglite and I dropped the goalpost. I don't know how much farther the rest of the guys got it, because I had to go throw up in the parking lot behind Applebee's. Then I got a second wind and sprinted all the way to Wolf Mart where I met up with some chicks, one of whom is now my wife. That was an awesome birthday.
