It's hard to get the walkers and strollers down the stairs fast enough[/QUOTE

Or it could look something like this:

Let the kids have their fun.

I wouldn't care if we stormed the court after beating ECU.

It's a problem waiting to happen. Sooner or later a couple of the losing players aren't going to smile and say congrats when a drunken fan gets in his face. I wouldn't blame him one bit.
That's the pragmatic reason to stop court storming - the potential danger.

I would doubt that rational thinking is the basis for everyone arguing against court storming. For some it's about personal discomfort in observing exuberance of any kind. For others it's not "classy". This latter argument is the superficial or "politically correct" reason not to storm the court. What are the odds that some of these dudes are the same individuals who make the statement that someone is acting "politically correct" whenever they want to dismiss viewpoints they oppose? Or that some of these dudes object to government "oversight" of any kind?

Personally I agree that we have too much oversight. Let the kids storm the court! This is the European way after all. The upside is Marco Rubio will have another opportunity to blame Obama for something and negate Chris Christie's attacks, at least for the moment, that Rubio has nothing but the same sound bites to offer!

Furthermore any human casualties will reduce the population. That will help save the planet! It might provide comfort for some of the supporters of Bernie Sanders if not Bernie himself.

I would add that if we allow the process to act naturally we would notice a difference in students behavior in Oregon and Colorado versus the rest of the country. If correct that could convince some on the right to change their minds about marijuana's legalization and Ben Carson won't be the only individual at the debates with a glazed appearance and inability to enter the stage when announced.

In conclusion there is political value in letting kids storm the court! John "pancake hands" Kasich would be proud of this consensus building thinking! For those that are interested I have a more detailed examination of this issue at www. fleudslipcon.com!

I always thought it would've been funny to have the students storm the floor after a UConn women's game at Gampel after a game again ECU or Tulsa or something, one of those 90-30 games.

Funny for us, yes. But man, it would really suck to be the other team there. You just got done getting your ass handed to you, and then receive a metaphorical bankhand bitch slap on your way to the locker room.

I get that argument. I guess I advocate responsible, non-violent court storming.

Not sure I agree. Roll out some Port-O-Lets mid court, and you'll see those grey-hairs movin'. Been holding it for the past quarter.
