Rushing the Field

FSU rushing after being double digit favorites against 6-5 Florida was even worse

It’s gone in cycles. Yankee fans ran on the field when Chris Chambliss hit a walk off to get them to the World Series in the late 70s (77 maybe?) there was an incident in college where someone was hit by the falling goal posts and iirc corrected died, so it stopped for a while but does seem more common lately

The standard of only doing it for big wins is the “ok boomer” mentality. They are kids and doing it because it’s fun

Its just about getting a video recorded for their social media

This and kids that were kept from doing anything for a couple of years due to covid restrictions.

Clemson has always allowed their fans and alumni on the field to join the team in singing the alma mater at the conclusion of a game. They used to slowly make their way down (unless it was a huge game or game winning stop). I’ve noticed after covid they rush for every game with a phone in hand.

People used to go on the field after almost every game
Go watch games in college and pros from the 70s and 80s.
It became a problem in the 90s when people were dropping goalposts on people’s heads.
We don’t have a rushing the field problem we have a no fun policy problem

I’m a boomer and I think it’s fine. It’s mostly kids thinking it’s fun to run into the field.
If you are embarrassed or think it’s absurd you need to get a freakin life. Or turn the TV off.
What a bunch of pussies.

as the number of games on tv increased so did rushing the field.

I went to a game in the Colosseum once. Maybe 200 students when the band took the field for pregame
