I say rush the court every game.

I rushed the court after the TT win, and I was at home.

I rushed the court after we won the Diamonhead Classic, and it was an away game (and I was at work).

I rushed the court today after I found out about the Mangino hire.

Rush the court as often and as much as you want!

Anyone under the age of 30 can rush the damn court whenever they want to. Mtowncy is a doosh.

I have the perfect plan. For the KU game, we rush the court after the first shot of a two-shot KU free throw, claim victory, and carry Fred off the court on our shoulders. The refs won't be able to take the victory off the scoreboard. Really, it's a conference rule. I swear.

The thought of the students staying put and having the Old people rush the court makes me smile. We need to make this happen

I don't know that we'd really rush anything, to be honest. Our age and wisdom have at least earned us the right to try to take the court by attrition rather than any form of rushing.

Ok so we need to agree on ground rules. I propose, as long as they are a top 250 team and we win by 25 or less points, storming the court is acceptable. If we somehow win long enough to be the #1 team in the country, storming the court would then become mandatory.

How many times did we storm the court during GMac's tenure? How many NCAA tournaments did we go to? How many weeks spent in the top 25?

So, how many times have we stormed the court since CFH got here? And how many NCAA tournaments? How many weeks in the top 25?

I think the evidence is clear. Storming the court leads to a quality basketball program. We, as fans, would be remiss if we stopped storming the court.

MotownClone, why do you hate our basketball team being successful?

If you're referring to the utilization of siege engines, then yeah, I'm down with that. I'm sure there's a youtube video on catapults that I could reference

Full siege tactics, man. Destruction of roads, cutting off of supply lines for food, water, and medicine. Psychological warfare, if we can get it going. I feel like, while the students have the energy and numbers to take the court by blitz tactics and storming, we can be wiser and craftier, and eventually, through attrition, they'll just give the court to us willingly.

Thought this was about some movement to put the images of the Canadian power trio "Rush" on our court.
I am all for The Rushing of the court in this instance.

Maybe the Cyclone Alley youngsters should acquire some "Big Heads" of Alex, Geddy, and Neal as well.
Rushing of the court indeed.

The old people do rush more than the students. They rush to the parquet with about 6 minutes left, and then rush the parking lot the second the last media timeout horn sounds.

Rushing the court in victory will only be allowed if: 100 students rush out and start crawling around acting like grizzly bears, and then 20 seconds later the next 100 run out while spinning like cyclones destroying the bears in their path. instant sportscenter top play imo
