DO NOT RUSH THE COURT
- Thread starter Mtowncyclone13
- Start date
I remember watching Mizzou vs KU a couple years ago, and mizzou was about to win, and the students were about to storm. The players at Mizzou went out in the stands and told the students not to rush.
Cool story bros?

I too think it will fade away. But in the meantime, we're talking about (mostly) teenagers here. The more you tell them "don't" the more obstinate they become. And that's much worse than two-year-old stubborn...I guarantee it! If the win was enough to make you dance mostly naked in a hotel room (I need brain bleach now), imagine how those screaming students felt? Plus, Hawkeyes.....!
No doubt it will fade somewhat if the winning trend continues. But honestly, I get tired of the posters who say "act like you've been there", and are so studiously casual about wins, and expect the students to do the same. Most of us were just as rowdy as these students when we were in their shoes. I hope we NEVER become so "entitled" that we don't get excited about wins.
You're right - I did assume Larry. My bad! I loved him too. The man had a drinking problem, but instead of quietly getting him to seek help (since Bruce the despicable knew about the drinking long before Miserygate), BVDV gave him the bum's rush. The inelegant way he was treated meant we ended up with our what? ninth choice? in Morgan, because everyone else said NO. Natty was partly to blame, but BVDV's hamfisted management style is (IMO) mostly to blame for our downward spiral in basketball. I'm glad Larry is back in business and is doing well at CSU, and I'm even more glad that BVDV's vanity earned him a kick in the nads from the Liberty Bowl promoters.
I'm choosing to take this whole thread tongue-in-cheek. Like people are so thrilled that we're 13-0 and the #9 team in the nation that they're joking around about telling people how they can and can't celebrate those wins.
Otherwise, I get depressed.
I got this. You need to clap and cheer when we score. But not too long, otherwise it may appear that you are cheering for the opponents, and you wouldn't want that, would you? Also, no booing the officials, it makes us look like losers that care about officials making mistakes. Standing is only allowed if you are going to the bathroom or getting a clonecone... (Also allowed in the final 4 minutes when standing on the concourse because it is important to be the first one to your car -- you know for the bonus points and all) If it is a color it gold or color it cardinal day, don't worry, this doesn't mean anything, and it is not like you should let people tell you what to wear... There are more rules, but I am out of time, and have to go get to my car so I don't get stuck in traffic.
if we win rush the **** outta the court. someone carry that old guy from last year on your shoulders
Eh, I think his problem was that he was able to get down there a little TOO easily...
Just sayin'
OU could have easily rushed the court against us, but they did not. I don't think it should be done barring a win tonight.
I will endorse rushing the court strictly to allow Weatherwax to finally get his shot at kidney punching Self with the added perk of having cover in all the confusion.
