Has a Visiting Team's fans..........

Only thing close to this was when I and a couple others "stormed" the A&M field in 2002 in a drunk fueled bender. Got tackled/assaulted by a corp member, got in the OWH, Omaha late news, A&M student newspaper. Some NU school detective came to my frat to speak with me, confiscated my video of the event and asked if I wanted to press charges. (declined that)

 

After the initial "run" and some of the players helping me out of that jam some A&M coach picked me out and said I started it all. Had 1 hand in cuffs before they decided to release me to my family standing about 2 feet away. The unwritten rule is that A&M grass is sacred stuff and no one can stand on it. (IMO-bunch of BS since I have never heard that crap until that night) Got lucky that I did not have to spend the night in jail like my other buddy for bringing in booze to the game. Unfortunatley, for him we had to leave for Houston and he had to stay in Bryan(ghetto part of College Station).

 

This event did not repeat in 2006 (we did take a group picture after the game though on the grass!) and I have no plans of repeating that in 2010.

Would this by chance be you?

 

 

 

Yes, that is me getting ripped a new one by a corp member who hit another fan over the head with his sword (other dude had to have stitches). What is not in the photo is what happened beforehand and why I am on the ground trying to get up. Not a moment I brag to much about while in Houston. Funny thing was that after I took my first job after college in 2006 a month later my boss's brother (works with us) found that picture and several other stories and was very curious about the experience.

 

edit: can not believe this picture is still accessible on the internet.

 

Now I can finally put a name with my computer's background pic the last few years!

At the end of the football games, police and security guards go down onto the field and stand around the perimeter in order to stop people from going out there. Besides, there is no way in hell we would ever let another fan base tear down our goal posts: ever.

Why would they tear down our goal posts after they lose??

 

Have any visiting fans torn town the hosts goalposts? Who would allow that?

 

I was at both A&M games. Was too high up in 2002 but I saw a scuffle or two. They must've relaxed their policy in 2006 because plenty of us were on the field. All that I saw were pretty calm, making no threat to the goal posts and interacting with any A&M players. Mostly just surrounding the Husker players and taking a few pix.

 

Iowa fans took down the goalposts at Minnesota when we won the Big 10. The clinching game had happened the week before in Kinnick - but we have those collapsable goalposts so they can't be torn down leading the fans to do the demolition in Kinnick North. If I remember correctly the Vikings had a home game the next day and the Iowa athletic department had to pay several thousand dollars to Minnesota to fix things quickly.

Here is where I found it.

 

By the way, the caption for your picture said you're "an evil Nebraska fan"

My gaydar went off looking through that site... (not that there is anything wrong w/ that)

My booby-dar went off looking at your avatar

BTW ND deserves this if the students do go through with it.

A few years ago Iowa fans ripped down the goal posts at the metrodome after beating the Gophers. They had won the big ten championship and were ranked and the gophers were not good. iowa was favored to win. They ripped down the posts.. broke a piece off and walked it to the mississippi river and threw it in the water.
