Fined $25,000

If it was a close victory and a 7 touchdown underdog situation I think the storming would have felt "better" if that makes sense. We'll get there, but there is still a lot of pent up emotion in football given our history.
There is some "we've been there before" in ISU basketball. Last time we clipped the Jayhawks in Hilton I remember KU fans being salty that we didn't rush the court.

I hope we never stop storming the field. Sports are supposed to be fun. I’ll never forget being on the field in2011. Or last year against TCU with my dad on his birthday. Watching the field on Saturday was magical.
I’d love for Iowa State to be a consistent winner. But I hope we never lose appreciation for winning.
You know, reading that...well, it makes me wonder about the comments DH made to the press after the game. Granted, he wasn't talking about the refs...but couldn't the term "game officials" include the actions of the hosting AD and security staff?
How about a fine to West Virginia for having their players fake injuries on defense so they can get free timeouts. Pretty unsportsmanlike and there is nothing the officials can do about it on the field. It's seems like something you could review at the conference level. They pulled the same crap two years ago when they played here. It's something that could be addressed and reviewed by the league. I think this is a lot worse than the on the field celebration AFTER the game.
I’m sure we could find 25,000 fans with a dollar and a dirty arse to donate directly to Bowlsby.
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.

So far, I like her very much. She is a Cyclone.
Sure bowlsby, let us know exactly what of our own procedures we didn't follow.
The statement from wintersteen basically comes across as 'this is ******** and we all know it'

I wonder if the Big 12 had to give Wintersteen any explanation or not?
What exactly did we do wrong? Nobody from WV (players, coaches, fans, cheerleaders, trainers, etc) was injured in any way. So how was it "unsafe"? Total BS!

I would be interested in hearing more detail from the Big 12 about what we did wrong. For instance, it can't be merely the fact that we stormed the field. From what I've seen on video, they got off the field pretty easily. It has to be something about how our security staff functioned. I wonder if we failed to do something in our protocol, such as forming a wall around the players, like they do in basketball. We may have had it in our policy, but we failed to implement it in instance.
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.
Fined simply because Dana is a cry baby. If he doesn’t say anything, there would be no fine.
