I think it is true now, largely because storming the field has gotten so frequent it's lost all meaning.

I do, however remember somebody posting pictures of Alabama fans hanging off a goalpost, I think after one of the Sugar Bowl NCs of the 1970s.

Is it even really possible to storm the field at BDS now? Typically, the student section is the group that leads the storming. Not really easy for those in block seating to storm the field unless they want to jump down. Then, the rest of the student section has to jump the iron fence and bushes.

its way too hard, and plus who would join them? I think our fans are a little too calm at games to jump over the rail. LSU and Auburn do it because when they are in a game they are obnoxiously loud and when they are losing they are heading to the gates.

While on the subject... I think Auburn has one of the only stadiums that isnt neutral or isnt a block away from another school in which 2 diffrent teams fanbases have stormed the field. But Auburn got mad that they didnt do it so they got firehoses out but even that could stop the Jawja fans from storming the field.

As for us beating doing it after beating the Cowboys first we would have to do it to really know.

For a college team to beat a NFL team it is. I would still say the Jaguars wouldve beaten our 2011 team by double digits. even the crappy NFL teams have far and away more talent and experience than the elite college teams of a certain year. Johnny and Reggie found out real quick that defensive linemen in the pros can catch up to them. It isnt the days of old in which being a college star ranked higher than playing in the pros. there are far and away more NFL players than there were back in the 50s and 60s in where there were college allstars vs nfl stars in which the talent was relatively the same. With that said I still lean towards we dont rush the field.

I was at a game at Legion Field where our fans stormed the field. They were climbing the fence, and police were pulling some off the fence. It was a scene, man. I think it was the Auburn game in 1990, but I don't remember for sure.

Yea I'm with others in that why would we storm the field? We've done it all.......lol

Also when 3/4 of our fans in the stands are over 65, I doubt many are planning on climbing many fences:biggrin:

Why would we play a Division II team like the Dallas Cowboys? There's nothing in it for our players or fans.
