If you are a TLDR kind of dude don't spam the comments with that.
I'll let you off with a simple question for the debate.
Do you agree with storming the field or not and what are your opinions on it?
If you want context for me, here's my experience from last night.
Before last night, I had the opinion to act like you’ve been there before. I didn’t agree with storming the field. I’ve never climbed over the wall and gotten on the field.
In the end, I got caught up in the moment.
I’m almost 50, so I decided this might be my last time that I could make it over the wall and at least stand on the sideline or on the field away from the mass of students. I figured I wouldn’t get another chance. Before the game was over they were letting people over the wall, which might’ve been dumb. I was over the wall, standing behind the benches with a couple of Ole Miss media members talking about how crazy the students were being. When they rushed the field with 16 seconds left, the media guys were telling me that they can actually take the win away from us at that point. That they had done it to some FCS or lower schools. They seem to have a pretty big fear that it could happen. We laughed at how idiotic the students were rushing the field with 16 seconds left.
Now, here is where some of the chaos and lessons are learned. What started as me just trying to stay around the bench ended up with me getting pushed and pushed more onto the field and into huge crowds. I'm being pushed by people behind me and from my sides into people in front of me like never before. I actually felt in danger of safety at that point. That keeps happening for a few minutes and then it settles down for the most part as people are rushing to the goalpost and I'm staying in the middle as much as I can. I think it will be OK at that point and that the tunnel will open up and people can easily get out. That didn't turn out to be the case. At that point, I start feeling some massive waves of people coming towards me with goalpost. They don't care about anything besides moving forward. All of a sudden it's worse than a mosh pit, and people are pushing and pushing, and pushing with no fear of human safety. I think they're smarter ways to do what they were doing. I'm just hoping and pray that no one gets hurt at that point. They did come by carrying a girl hollering about a medical emergency. A few of the goal post moved by and the idiots were up in the stands thinking about throwing them over the edge, so we finally got moving out the tunnel and out.
In conclusion, here are my takeaways after that life experience:
1. I am not OK with storming the field. Someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed at some point. If I had a son or daughter wanting to do it, I would encourage them not to.
2. A lot of college kids, especially males are tools. I've never wanted to punch a few kids so hard in my life after last night. Watching how they acted getting down the stairs and onto the sidelines there's a few bad parents out there who taught them no manners. The things that they say to adults and do show me a lot. I get young and dumb, but they were just the worst.
3. Storming the field was anti-climatic. It's not all it's cracked up to be.
