Fined $25,000

If Dana was so concerned about his player's safety, why didn't he just call a timeout to get all players not currently on the field, to the locker room. I mean seriously, the mob was building at the fence. He could obviously see they were going to rush the field. IMO, he was an idiot if he truly felt his players weren't safe.
 
The reality of the situation is DH was not concerned about his players in the least. Come on, highly trained athletes in body armory have absolutely nothing to worry about from a bunch of excited college students wanting to celebrate the win. What the real concern is that one of his guys that just got their asses kicked might take a swing at a fan and start a riot.
 
We need to have all fans dress in t-shirts with the word security on them. Have them create a line to funnel the opposing team off the field, then party! Maybe the student section in Hilton can get some security shirts for when WVU plays this year too.

I like the Security t-shirt idea, but another good one would be t-shirts that read "Professional Fan". Then Dana can't say it was "unprofessional", right?
 
This is such a weak, whiny-a$$, b**ch thing to do by WV. Very comparable to when Iowa warned the entire country about playing at ISU because the thieves there will steal your stuff.... and then it turns out it was one of their own.

And WV complaining about our fans when just last year their fans were trying to blind our kicker and holder with a frickin' laser.

How about you just quit being such whining cry babies instead? It really makes you look bad.
 
Here is my idea to get WVU back:

Next time that they win a big game in Morgantown and start burning couches, we all report them to the EPA. There fans are completely out of control, and my God who know how many toxins they are releasing into the environment by burning those 50 year old couches. Back in the 70 they were making all kinds of nasty synthetic fabrics.
But they’re a coal state so couch burning is minor compared to all of the coal

Iowa State loses appeal to Big 12 after $25,000 fine for field-storming.

From Iowa State Sports Information:

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University President Dr. Wendy Wintersteen announced today the Big 12 Conference has denied the appeal of the fine levied against Iowa State arising from the post-game celebration following the Cyclones’ football victory over West Virginia.

“Our institution takes the safety and welfare of all student-athletes, officials, and fans very seriously and we will continue to review and refine our safety protocols based upon our actual experiences,” Winstersteen said.

Major shade thrown by Wintersteen.
That didn't take long.
 
I'd say that the WVU players were much safer walking out after the game than they were during the game where they repeatedly got shitstomped.

WV players were "safer" getting off the field than Iowa State players. The students mostly ran right past the WV losers so they could crowd around the ISU winners. From what I saw on video, most WV players didn't have much trouble getting to the locker room.

They all jelly of our spirit. Some schools have fans, but we have fanatics. We have people who believe that they affect the game and it’s incredible. I love you all. One of these years we’re gonna burn Ames down.
 
We got mentioned for field rushing in the final minutes of Washington State and Oregon

And Washington State was “unprofessional “
 
I see Purdue was unprofessional tonight after beating the Buckeyes with a bag full of quarters.

But the biggest difference is that Ohio State likely won't whine and cry about it like WV did, so nothing will have to be done about it.

Same with Oregon. They likely won't whine and cry about WSU rushing the field either, so nothing will have to be done about it.

OSU and Oregon took their losses like a man.... unlike WV.

I can't believe Holgerson said that our students storming the field was "unprofessional".
With all of the students that rushed the field we had to have at least a few professional students out there.
