Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
I'm actually a big proponent of rushing the field or court by students after big wins. I find those sports writers who get all sanctimonious about it -- decrying it as potentially dangerous or stupid -- as killjoys who have long ago lost any sense of joy in sports. Now having said that, Virginia winning 16-13 in overtime over North Carolina hardly constitutes a rushing the field moment. Yes, North Carolina was ranked in the top-25 before the game, but they were not even in the top-ten. Plus, the Tar Heels losing to the Hoos is not exactly something new. Virginia has now won nine of the last eleven meetings. In Charlottesville, North Carolina has now dropped fourteen straight. The last time UNC won there was 1981.
What exactly about any of that says, "Yes, we must rush the field to celebrate winning -- again -- over a team we have owned."? Well, other than to suggest a fear that the good times are coming to an end.
It was confusing to me when it happened, and apparently even the students felt rather silly about it after the fact. As soon as the PA announcer asked them to clear the field, they quickly complied.
