Field Storming if we win Saturday?

[HuskiesFan1014]

How many ranked teams has UConn football defeated in its history?

South Florida (#11) in 2007 and Louisville (#19) in 2012.
UCONN 2-22 against ranked teams...actually I think it's 2-23 including Mizzou this year.

It's incredibly ironic that losing by 28 to Oklahoma is somehow more favorable than beating a 10-0 top 13 team and storming the field. This fahkin fanbase...

maybe he meant South Carolina

If this was the Cougar, I'd outrun ya, but ESPNU doesn't come with sideline reporters.

Oh my.

 

[HuskyHawk]

If this was the Cougar, I'd outrun ya, but ESPNU doesn't come with sideline reporters.

Which one is this?

Niki Noto is evidently an ESPNU sideline reporter.

Or that one of the accomplishments he listed is keeping it close against a mediocre Michigan team.

I call dibs on tackling the Cougar.

I call dibs on the hottest Houston cheerleader.

Aside: if I laid on top of her, would I get flagged for delay of game?

50 50 on this. Nevermore for hoops but we really haven't 'been there' before in football ... for long enough.

Storming the field should be reserved for major accomplishments like an undefeated season or after an unprecedented event. If you are down 30 points in the fourth quarter and come back to win, I say storm away. If you win the game 23-17 in unspectacular fashion, you run the risk of looking like Rutgers who stormed the field after beating a hot garbage Michigan Team last season. Looking like Rutgers in anything sports related is NEVER a good thing.

OK...I stand pleasantly corrected. That was Shannon Spake. ESPN's "teams" list sideline reporters for the other channels, but I'd be OK if Niki shows up. Is she into chunky, balding older men who smell like tailgate?

Don't all women go for such men?

Are you really expecting an answer?

At the beginning of the week I was totally against the field storming thing for all the reasons stated above

"act like you've been there before" "save it for a tope 5 victory" etc...

But then I thought, these students don't know what it's like to go to a game and watch good football and they don't really have those "so there I was...." stories at the Rent that don't end with the words "horrendous" or "loss"

if storming the field against arguably the biggest end of season game in almost 5 years creates buzz for the students and allows them to say "I was at that game and stormed the field...it was awesome"....well then guys....go crazy

Agree. Field storming is fun. It would be quite a way to end the home schedule with one of the funnest games and field stormings in our program's history. Could be a slingshot into next year's season tickets.

That said, we will still storm the field if we lose 44-7?

 

[Waquoit]

Aside: if I laid on top of her, would I get flagged for delay of game?

Flagged for 5? More like you'd get 15...to 20.

 

[thatguyed]

Act like we have been there before. Storm the field for a Top 5 team - not number 13!!

This. Storming if/when we win would be a bush move.

There would be no delay. You'd last 30 seconds and be well within media timeout limits.

But we haven't really been there before haha. I'm all for the students/fans having that memorable experience if we can pull off the win against a top 15, undefeated team. Like Dooley said, it could help propel ticket sales for next season too

 

[CTMike]

Showing joy is allowed. Rush the field if only because a win buries the P era for good.

Busch isn't so bad when you've had more than a few.
For that matter, Bush isn't all that bad, either.

 

[temery]

Are you insane? You simply don't post like this before a game.

 

[Stinger92860]

Dooooomed!

 

[Waquoit]

The haters will mock us for storming the field for reaching a very low level bowl.
But what the hell ... it would look good on national TV for our fans to show some passion.

More likely the haters will mock us because it can't be much of a storming. I might feel compelled to join in just to fill out the crowd. And I have a bad back.

 

[B1GEast]

tear the goal post down, rip up the sod, start a riot and flip over some cop cars

 

[DDaileyuconn]

Umm... We didn't storm the field for the Oklahoma game, because We Frikin Lost The Game! (faceplam)

Did we storm the court vs shabazz, shot vs Fl

 

[HuskiesFan1014]

No, but I did mock the two little b!tches in front of us with the Gator chomp after hearing their jawing all game. Almost as good.
