Colorado radio is saying that the clock should not have started until the ball was snapped because of the "dead ball" foul. Of course Colorado fans are going to say that but on a dead ball foul thats true isn't it? The nice thing about Yahoo radio is that with the 8.00 charge you can listen to everything.

I thought their should be a 10 second runoff. Maybe that is only in the NFL. Why are we complaining about the fans on field. We just won our second game in a row. Let's celebrate the win and quit complaining about fans expressing their joy. Maybe we can make it a tradition and rush the field after every win.
Great point. The last home game for these kids who have given a lot of memories to Cyclone fans. Great way to go out!
Found this on the NCAA 2007 football rules.

Unfair Game-Clock Tactics
ARTICLE 3. The referee shall order the game clock started or stopped
whenever either team conserves or consumes playing time by tactics
obviously unfair. This includes starting the clock on the snap if the foul is by
the team ahead in the score. The clock will start on the ready-for-play signal
after an illegal forward or backward pass that conserves time for Team A
(A.R. 3-4-3-I-IV).

OK...the version of that play that the Buff fans keep spouting...wouldn't a dead ball penalty be extremely unfair to the defense? All teams would be told to get that penalty at the end of games in order to stop the clock! A delay of game via illegal snap would be used to stop the clock on purpose wouldn't it? The defense made the play on 3rd down so CU would have wanted this stoppage! Even if it was a 5 yard penalty!
I don't mind fans doing whatever they want within reason. To show appreciation for the team by rushing the field is not a sin. I'm just frustrated that we have losses to UNI, Toledo and Kent State!
Turn those losses into wins, and we're bowl eligible. But that's the way it goes when you installing a completely new system. The kids have picked up on it in a major way late in the season, and I'm just enjoying the hell out of it.
I am waiting for the Buff fans to start blaming Bush, the Illuminati, the Tri-Lateral Commisson, anything except their team getting totally out-played the 2nd half.
Kent State is just horrible. Iowa State looks good, has learned how to win in adversity. Its a shame! I can't wait for next season... wish we had Blythe and Bowen for another year!
If we are trying to tear down goal posts, that's one thing, but, to rush the field after an emotional win, on the last game of some beloved seniors, really doesn't bother me at all. Heck, when I was in school, we always used to leave the stands by walking onto the field. To be perfectly honest, I'd rather have us rushing the field than walking out at half time. It's great to see excitement in the fans faces this late in the year during a losing season for ISU. I'll take the excitement.

It's just that rushing the field used to mean something. Fans would rush the field only after upsetting a Top 10 team. For those of us who grew up with this attitude, rushing the field after beating mediocre teams seems silly to us. I guess we'll just have to accept the fact that rushing the field only means ISU won the game, no matter the opponent. :sad:
Acutally we got Meyer to come over to the student section insted of celebrating with him on the field
Could have been the body paint... but I doubt it :twitcy:
