An Iowa State football player was accosted by a Colorado fan that rushed the field after an upset win in Boulder. His father has since addressed the

I'm glad he's a smart kid and kept his composure, but it would have been hilarious to see him jack that kid in the face.

Seemed like everything held together well after the creepy kid tried to grab Sowell's helmet. I hope that kid doesn't get off scott free. He should have to do something like wash and wax Colorado's conditioning coach's car weekly for the next month. If job not well done each time, run some laps, parents present of course.

Seems like Sowell and his father handled that about as well as you could.

Thread title was ambiguous to which set of fans approached him. I’m glad it wasn’t one of our fans being stupid but I feel for him and this shouldn’t happen at all.

Good composure out of him. At his age I would’ve pulled a Myles Garrett on that kid.

I've seen this several times since Saturday and I'm just amazed at Chase keeping his cool. I probably would've given that kid a few studs up kicks with my cleats if I was in his shoes.

I’m curious about the Colorado staffer in the yellow shirt—looks like he was almost antagonistic towards Sowell.

Yeah, that was my instinct, but he may have been just the opposite. We can't really tell. I wish he would have been escorting the kid directly to the pokey instead.

Good on Chase for keeping his composure, but I wouldn't have felt bad if he stomped that guy out.

I interpreted it that he was just trying to make sure Chase didn't retaliate. I'm fine with that reaction as they should be able to catch the fan at some point and getting Chase out of there is more important.

Staff member may very well have known Sowell from when he was on the team.

He didn't just try to grab the helmet, he was running off with it when Sowell ran him down and tussled with him to get it back.

Sowell's reaction to this is maybe in the top 1% range of how most athletes would react in that situation. I know if I was a college athlete that just had a stupid kid steal my helmet after a frustrating loss, I would beat some ass. Props to him

Chase and his family are great additions to the Iowa State family.

I am looking at the video (as well as I can), kind of agog. I didn’t get how some people think they are entitled to things that don’t belong to them.

Years ago, I was the opening manager at a certain prominent Campustown establishment. Walking up to the building, I noticed something wrong.

A substantial part of the extremely recognizable sign, the trademark logo letter, was gone.

Sighing, I went on inside. And, of course, did what I needed to do.

Our maintenance guy came in shortly after, and went on the roof to check things out. While up there, he found something that had been left behind.

An hour or so later, I was as called to the front. There stood an obviously sheepish frat boy, along with a very recognizable (and broken) script M.

“Er, I brought your sign back,” he started, clearly embarrassed. “Umm…could I please have my wallet back?”

I looked at him for a moment, kind of sorry for the poor sap, before answering.

“I’m sorry, I gave it to the police an hour ago, when they stopped by. You’ll have to ask them.”

BTW, if that was you, the better part of thirty years ago, that was me.

I was still a student during the end of the Meyer/Blythe era. One game, ironically I believe during a Colorado game during the Chiz’s first year, there was a field storm. I drunkenly made way across the field and found Blythe. All I remember is being super excited we won and that I found that guy. So I jumped up on his shoulder pad yelled in his ear hole a phrase that… we’ll call it a profound fondness for his genitalia. I remember him turning and giving me a brief look that basically said get this ******* weirdo off of me.

Todd, if you’re reading this, I didn't really wish my cheeks were your jockstrap.

Awesome. That establishment was fortunate to have you as opening manager. You handled it well.

I would imagine fans stroming the field, or court, presents quite a security dilemma.

That kid is lucky. He does that to the wrong player and it doesn't end well for him. Glad Chase kept his composure and didn't **** him up.
