Field storm was unnecessary

[RustShack]

Not wasting my time reading any posts in this thread, but the average fan doesn’t know the spread. Actually probably more than that. The only people who know the spread are betters and super fans. Most people see unranked vs #8. And when people storm the field people follow the lead, especially after drinking.

It also wasn’t even that good of a field storming. But it was a good win.

With all the ******** going on in the world, let em have fun who cares.

Who gives a **** is we storm the field? Sweet Caroline at midfield is part of the ISU experience. Hope those kids had fun.

I love the it’s not a great look people. How many people around the country are talking about our field rush today?

While I said it's not a great look, I also said that I have no problem with it. It's going to draw some criticism, but who really cares what hawkeye fans and Okie St fans think? It's a game and supposed to be fun. I'm all for the students doing it.

Because all of the analysts realized that we were turnover heavy and if we take care of the ball better we are a whole lot better than our record. I know turnovers are part of football and the other team made good plays, etc., so don't kill the messenger. Most of them said they would pick ISU to win, but not all agreed they would cover.

Yeah, and people thought that OSU was kind of a fraudulent top 10 team due to their lack of offense and some close/fluky wins. It was kind of a trap game for bettors.

5.5 point favorite and they were only number 8.

I agree. Storming the field wasn't necessary.

You know what else isn't strictly necessary .... masturbation. Serves no real purpose. Save the swimmers for an opponent that matters.

Always my favorite posts. IDC what you say, but let me grace you with my opinion.

Since when do gamblers in Las Vegas get to determine how fans and players treat the average football game? My general opinion is that we have been there now so it seemed unnecessary, but given it was Unranked vs #8, who can complain?

 

[VeloClone]

OP, is it every really necessary?

Dumb thread is dumb.

 

[Cyched]

It’s not like we rushed the field when we were ranked 4th or something

For the crowd that says act like you have been there before, has Iowa State really ever been there before? Yeah we have had some success lately but I would argue we really haven’t been there before.

We didn't get to storm the field last year vs OU so why not?

My kids loved being on the field and hi fiving players.

KCRG didn't know either apparently.

I noticed these channels practically made Iowa's win over PSU a national holiday but there's just a mere mention of ISU's game.

I went to school when we went 0-10-1. We were talking about storming the field after we tied Kansas during homecoming, so for ****'s sake, why is this even an issue?

 

[MustardTiger]

My kids and Alexa sang Sweet Caroline all weekend, after singing it on the field Saturday. Its moments like these that make little kids Cyclone fans for life. Wee need more moments like these.

huh? please define "lately".

We’re the Cyclones, we should “storm” the field every game win or lose and have everyone start walking in a counter-clockwise (cyclonic) motion. Then wave at the sky and get people to donate a bunch of money to endangered birds because our mascot is a bird. It’s already one of the great traditions in CFB history even though we haven’t done it yet.

1) All field storms are unnecessary.
2) The fact that anyone cares, one way or the other, will never stop blowing my mind.

 

[ruxCYtable]

I take Williams approach on this. I don't give a crap. Have fun, be respectful to the opponent as they leave the field.

My favorite part of the field storm was when that State trooper decided to pick 1 kid out of about a hundred pouring out of the stands to rough up.
