Rushing the Field

Rush all fields.

Storm all courts.

Live life.

Ohio State did not attempt a pass in the 4th quarter. It appears that your "black shirts" could not stop the run. Your right, next time Urban should call a punt play on first down in the 4th quarter if OSU is winning.

Nobody punts on first down; not even Tampa Bay!

First the injury thread and now this . There must be a culture change going on in Ames because for the first 25 years of my Cyclone life - what I like to refer to as 1983-2008 BC PR (Before Coach Paul Rhoads) - you never, ever, under any circumstance talked about a lack of injuries or a post-game celebration before the game was even played.

I'm sure someone started a "we haven't missed a big field goal in awhile" thread before the Missouri game that would have won us the Big 12 North, too. It's Jinx City, my friends. I do like the confidence ISU fans have shown over the past few years though, expecting to win big games like Saturday's against TCU and this Saturday's against Purple Kansas.

I saw don't rush. KSU is #5, but we are showing we can hang/beat any team. I think not rushing makes a better statement.

I normally don't care either way but if we get all the rain predicted and the game damages the field the last thing it needs is several thousand people on it.

Twelve feet high walls bro

If you aren't ranked, or are barely ranked, and you beat a top 10 school, then by all means rush it.

**Gnomeborg** · 10-09-2012, 08:07 AM

ah crap.

Someone just had to do this, didn't they?

no reason to build a display case for your Pulitzer just because your letter to the editor got published in the local paper.....

If we do beat K-State, a solid case could be made that it would be the biggest win in school history. At the very least, second biggest.

I don't think there is any chance the field wouldn't be rushed if we win. And we should rush. We've been playing football for over 100 years and we've only beat one top five team before.

Oh so you mean wait until the WVU game on Nov. 23rd then?

**3TrueFans** · 10-09-2012, 08:43 AM

I'm thinking maybe we can get a Utah vs. BYU situation and get to rush the field 3 times!

**zwclones51** · 10-09-2012, 08:45 AM

Yes, and when we do it better look awesome. It won't compete with the OSU rushing under the lights. That was one of the coolest ISU moments. Both halves of the stadium literally engulfed JTS and met in the middle.

Perfect.
