Good luck with whatever complex you're dealing with. I would personally just prefer not to show a team that we expect to beat at home any additional unearned respect.

Depending on where there is, we have been there before. We beat KU at home in 2012, which was the first year the program started elevating. This team will probably be ranked in consecutive weeks for close to 3 complete seasons. The program is in a much different spot than 2012.
I'm kind of mixed on court rushing. I certainly don't give a crap about how it looks. My only concern is that little kids and others could get hurt in the wild stampede like conditions.
Even people who choose not to rush and stay in their seats are at risk of getting knocked down by people chaotically darting and tumbling down from rows above them.

KU not getting back in transition "bleeped" me off way more. I was happy that ISU fans paid their own team so much respect by not rushing the court. It's good for the Big 12 to have more than one team that expects to win big games.
We expect to win big games but we also know that the refs take games away sometimes.
Good luck to Kansas on trying for their 2nd straight Big 12 title!
If we rushed the court in the 1987 Iowa game someone would have punched Gary Close or Jeff Moe.
I agree with this. I think if we cruise to a 20 point victory there may have been a court rush. As it was, everyone was just relieved we didn't choke it away.
It was on my things-to-do list. I might have to look them both up and do that anyway. It'll give me something to do this weekend.
Like when UNC fans rushed the court last year after beating Duke? Or when Coach K had to rush the court to stop Duke fans from rushing after #2 duke beat unranked UNC 2 years ago by 5 at home? When you beat a rival rushing the court may happen if it has build up. Worthy or not. Part of the "Hilton" magic is that build up. Once we expect it the magic will dampen. Let people act naturally I hate the "is it worthy" crap. That said I am glad we didn't because it just **** ed off Jayhawk fans more.http://www.businessinsider.com/video-mike-krzyzewski-stops-duke-students-from-rushing-court-2013-2
Not only did the fans not rush the court, but the number of people that stuck around well after the buzzer was impressive. It was really cool to see that in the background when they were interviewing Hoiberg.
When you live among them, it is hard to not care. For me KU is like what it is for Iowa for many of you. I am definitely going to wear my ISU polo to work this week.
Let me know if you find them. I've got a knuckle sandwich for each of them.
I was ******** and moaning through much of the game but when I watched it at home I was like...never mind.
