West Virginia Player Attacks Fan

You're an idiot. It's for fun. It's for celebration.
I'd rush the field after every exciting win, if I could.
There were multiple examples of stuff like this. The personal foul on us towards the end of the game was our O-Lineman pulling one of their guys off Montgomery as that guy kept pushing on Montgomery well after the whistle. On one of Butler's catches across the middle going South, after the tackle was completed (with the help of another defender obviously) the defender that got beat took a swipe up towards Butler's upper torso. He could have been trying to swat the ball out of his hands, but regardless it was well after the tackle and whistle. Stuff like this happens all the time and our players are guilty of it sometimes too, but for some reason it really stood out to me when I was watching the replay on Sunday.
Then do it. What is stopping you? I didn't see you out there after Akron, why?
In the same line with bad sportsmanship, West Virginia players regularly get "hurt" after Iowa State makes a big play, only to come back in a play or two later.
There's a reason Holgerson doesn't take timeouts. He doesn't NEED to.
Because it is Akron. Not the #6 Team in the country that has a “supposed” Heisman Trophy candidate.
Wins over Top Ten Teams are not that common when you are not a blue blood. And now you want to take away the joy in celebration of rushing the field when the rare victories over Top Ten teams do occur? JFC.
eh Clemson rushes the field after every win no matter how good or bad. Let the kids have their fun.
I think it's mighty stupid to chant overrated and then run onto the field.
I've went to the field many times, @iowa in 1998. Bank One Ballpark in Phoenix in 2000. Oklahoma St in 2011, and even did it last year for TCU, mostly because somebody I was with wanted to and it was easier to get out. But WVU? After that beat down? Not even a little bit of me wanted to go down.

The overrated chants are that and I do wish that would stop. It is a bad look. Rushing the field is just celebrating. It doesn’t IMO have much to do with whether you expect to win. Other than it is rough on the field I wish they would do it every game.
The only time a crowd should chant overrated is at the beginning of a game, followed by the overrated team getting their arses pounded. I would have liked if the student section did that.
I thought that one was odd too. I'm not sure I've ever heard of a personal foul for "pulling a player off the pile." WVU got away with at least two late hits on Purdy as well.
Ya, that's an apples to apples comparison. Everything leading up to the Akron game was somber as hell and the game itself about made half the fans in the stadium fall asleep. It's exactly the same thing as beating the crap out of a top 10 team in a hyped up night game.
A crowd should never chant overrated.
Its basically deminishing that fact you upset a good team. By chanting overrated,
you are saying that team isn’t that good anyways and shouldn’t be ranked, so our team didn’t beat a great team but rather they just beat an average team.
Agree with you for sure. "Over rated" chant has always baffled me. Chanting "under rated" about ourselves would make more sense, but that wouldn't be cool.
A couple years ago, the pulling off the pile penalty was created. Was for the fights after fumbles. This was JGJ protecting a teammate. I had no problem with GJ doing it. I think there should not have been a call.
