Very well put. I admit, I rushed the field in ’06 after the win over Iowa State. Super embarrassing, looking back.

Gotta be honest, rush or don’t rush, w/e. But I think its a lot to ask from fans who don’t understand common football rules of etiquette and maybe thats where we should start. It seems like the fans get about as loud as they can when we have the ball, and people don’t seem to get why it’s detrimental to our own team to do so. Oh yeah, its because our fans don’t know $hit about F#uck when it comes to football. Baby steps, baby steps.

If you are going to include West Virginia then you need to include the ’09 Kansas victory as a win that was “genuinely special and acceptable”. After all they were ranked 15th in the country at the time and the game came down to a final defensive stand…I agree with what you are saying, however it’s not that big of a deal in my opinion. It only happened twice for undeserving victories- ’09 Texas A&M and ’10 Georgia……its not like we are rushing the field every time we win a game

I will admit the storming the field was an excessive celebration given the relative weaknesses of the teams involved in the game, which is why i stayed in the stands. But if several thousand (most likely freshmen) fans can get pumped about their team winning, why not? A hard-fought victory that ended on a clutch defensive stand is among one of the most exciting things that can happen in football. On paper, the game wasn’t really anything special, but between the blackout, the 1990 team ceremony, and the unusually electric atmosphere in Folsom, the storm didn’t seem out of place at all.

Thank you!!!! I have been so frustrated with the actions Buff fans have been taking since my time at CU. It is such a hypocrisy for fans to boo the players and Coach Hawkins then five minutes later rush the field for a flimsy win such as A&M. We need pride in our program not acting surprised when we win over beatable teams. Seriously, get the fair weather fans out of the first rows and cease the rushing!!

“If we truly want our football program to return to the level it was at even a decade ago when the Buffs were Big XII champions, storming after every exciting win needs to stop.”

I’m not sure that storming the field or not after the game has any influence on the success of our football team. In fact, I would say it’s inverse; the success of the football team would have more of an influence on the frequency of rushing the field by the win-starved Buff Nation. More frequent wins makes success less of an anomaly. Just sayin….
