Field storm was unnecessary

You will recognize me by my Iowa State sweatshirt.

Damn, well done. Maybe you're not that lame. Which makes you just old.

And when you send them to the mine, you probably tell them, emphatically, "Act like you've been there before!"

But dad?! I'm only 5!!

Gets it

You realize you’re touting the fact that like one person agrees with you and it’s Bosco… right?

Those of your who dont like field storms (we should use that weather-term more for us), who specifically are you hoping to impress/not impress. Please be specific?

My internet friends.

That's all you need to be cool.

You could try not being a douche

You can take the person out of the bathroom, but sometimes you just can't take the douche out of that person.

My views on field storming have progressed. As have the national perception imo. They're far more common and I'm fine with it. Enjoy it and don't think it reflects the fans think they were the underdog.

Similar to bat flipping. Used to agree that it was mildly unprofessional, but anymore, have some fun.

So then you cheered for the taunting call too?

Were we 5.5 point favorites?

I saw 7 point favorites, but it was still a big win for us to stay relevant. Not to mention a much needed win over a top 10 opponent who had plenty of help from the refs so all that frustration was released with some excessive celebration. They already threw the flag, that shouldn't have been thrown for excessively celebration, so might as well excessively celebrate and earn it by storming the field.

I was laughing at the security people holding the rope. I’m like, “yeah, that’s really gonna stop them!”

Not the best look given we were favored, but oh well. I know the times that I've rushed the field, it was a cool experience and something that I'll always remember. I have no problem with people wanting to experience that for themselves.

And to be honest not sure how many people really pay attention to the point spread. So beating a top 10 team was and still is a big deal, no matter what Vegas says.

I think the rope is to help the other team have a clear path to the locker rooms. Then once they are past they open things up. In theory I think that was one of the protocols that was supposedly put into place to get the opposing teams out of harms way.

I personally wouldn't have rushed if I was there but not going to condemn those who did. After what we experienced last year with little to no crowds at all times of fun and joy should be experienced to the utmost.

A 13 year old neighbor of ours was given ISU football gloves by a player but he can't remember who it was.

Two boys from other friends of ours scored selfies with Kolar and Young.

The smiles are priceless.

And those are the kinds of things that make life-long fans!!!

Another fun fact the Iowa marching band actually also got roundhouse kicked in the face by a fan during this field rush.

Yeah but did they start a thread about rushing the field being stupid? If so, they might have had it coming. I'm kidding of course violence is never the answer, but a band that tries to push their way through a bunch of opposing fans mostly drunk are probably going to get some things said to them. Granted violence shouldn't be a line that is crossed.

It actually worked well for what they intended - give teams a chance/path to get off the field. Saw one person jump the rope and get thrown back by security.
