Embarrassed that our students rushed last night. It's time to act like we've been there before! We were the higher ranked team and Iowa up until this year and last has not been good so that is a game you cheer in the stands and act like we knew all along we were going to win that game. Maybe our students right now are just finding out what it feels like to have a good team I guess, when I was there during the Fizer and Tinlsey years we didn't rush the court after beating ranked opponents because we knew we had a good team and felt we expected to win every game in Hilton (which we did for 2 straight seasons.)
It's obvious by now that we have a good team this year, let's act like it as fans and and not go overboard every time we beat another good team. You don't see the other top half of the Big 12 schools (mostly the Texas and Oklahoma schools) rushing the court after every good win because usually it means your fans view it as a big upset. Michigan game this year I can understand, we were unranked and they were #7 and national title runner ups last year but we were 17 and Iowa 23, this was a good win but not a HUGE win by any means.
Act like we've been there before? I hope we understand that many of these students are relatively new fans of ISU. Many of them are probably freshmen and haven't experience much of Hilton yet. They haven't experienced Hilton Magic much yet. I would have killed to be able to rush the court during the Morgan/McDermott days on a regular basis. Let them have fun.
