Yep.
Remove all the $$$$$$$$$$$$ in the South end zone and let the students roll the Sukup.
Good plan.
You could just move them to the southeast corner… No one suggested getting rid of the end zone club

It's a reasonable statement. The last thing you want is a brawl between the ISU student section and the opposing team. That would be a disaster.
"We had an incident in Saturday’s game where a student confronted one of the Oklahoma State players. That student was arrested and ejected from the stadium. We can’t have that happen. That’s like putting gas on a fire."
I didn't realize this had happened. Makes a lot more sense why the conference felt they needed to say something
Just let the OSU player give him the Legarrette Blount treatment. That'll make fans think twice about rushing the opposing players like that. HahaDoesn't seem to be about the storming, but the moron who got down toward the OSU players. **** that fan.
Bob needed to be more clear about that though.
If we don’t end up scoring there and lose that game, there would of been situation like Ole Miss-Tenn or worse. That ref would of needed an armored car. I’m not saying it’s right but it’s a fact. It would have completely hit the fan.Another pro-active way to avoid brawls and potentially horrible fan behavior…don’t erase 50 yard touchdowns for absolutely no rational reason.
Things potentially get reeeeeeeeeeal ugly if OK State gets a turnover after the stolen points.
I can see that perspective. On the other hand, Pollard's own words would indicate that they didn't, though. If something that "can't happen" does happen, that's an acknowledgement that your procedures need improvement.At the same time, its evidence the procedures in place worked.
Agree. The two luckiest persons when we did score were the ref who made the horrible call and Bowlsby. Depending on how the season ends, that poor call could have taken millions of dollars from ISU and given to OSU.If we don’t end up scoring there and lose that game, there would of been situation like Ole Miss-Tenn or worse.

Our student section is located in a horrible spot for field storms.
What did Jamie say?I said the south side, not the south end zone.
Also, Pollards comment on the radio show last night all but confirms that they will be moved, and my guess is it comes with the reseating next year.
What did Jamie say?
“It’s absolutely critical we protect that visiting team. The way we’re set up makes it a challenge.”
That was in reference to the Iowa State students seated in sections by which the visiting team must pass to get to their locker room.
“We still have a ways to go,” Pollard said. “We’re very vulnerable. We had an incident in Saturday’s game where a student confronted one of the Oklahoma State players. That student was arrested and ejected from the stadium. We can’t have that happen. That’s like putting gas on a fire.
“I wouldn’t want our players and our coaches put in a similar spot. Our situation is somewhat unique in how it’s set up.
“We’ve got to continue to do our best. We’ve got to look at it and see what we can continue to do.”
Two weeks ago, Tennessee fans threw objects on the field in the final moments of the game against OIe Miss. The Rebels won 31-26.
“We value our brand in this program and at this institution too much to let that happen,” Pollard said. “We’ve improved greatly, but we’re far from perfect.”
This plays a role, most likely. Imagine the shitstorm it would be if we rushed the field after the Texas game in two weeks.No issues with the statement. I was on the NE corner and they could have easily given more time to let the OSU fans get out of the way....it was the most polite storming we've seen in awhile lol. Probably because the fanbase seems to respect OSU pretty well.
What about the folks that have Suites between the decks over there? maybe they won't mind or care.Moving the students from the NE corner to the SE corner would solve most of the problems I'd think.
