Fun Police: Storming the Football Field

[WillisWG]

SEC Reportedly Weighing Consequences for Fans Storming the Football Field | Rocky Top Insider

Despite SEC policies in place that present SEC programs with increasing fines as a consequence of storming the field/court, the SEC is reportedly looking to find a new solution.

Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde reports the Southeastern Conference’s event safety group is working to figure out solutions, or consequences, for programs that allow fans to rush the field.

One proposal is that a program guilty of rushing the field would potentially lose a home game as a consequence for doing so. The SEC currently gives out fines up to six digits for rushing the field but seems to be looking for something more impactful with the SEC program’s ability to just simply pay the fine.

This has Saban's fingerprints ALL over it.

 

[TnVol!]

Asinine.

 

[movinonup]

So if we go to Tuscaloosa and rush the field after we win next year.................. ??

 

[VolInNW]

I'm in favor. Saban is dead on correct. It will end the constant threat of grievous bodily injury to 225lb safeties posed by 90lb female students.

 

[BearCat204]

I’ve said it before, but seriously….**** you Nick Saban.

 

[onevol74]

Told you Sankey is Saban’s mouthpiece. Which makes Saban Sankey’s a$$ piece

 

[VOLfrombama]

I’ve said it before, but seriously….**** you Nick Saban.

and Buck Fama too.

Also Jermaine Burton is a 200 pound WR, not a safety. He is also apparently scared of skinny little coeds.

I hope the SEC attaches guidelines on how to stop several thousand people from hopping a wall and entering a field. Short of erecting 12' tall fences around the perimeter of the field like a lot of soccer stadiums, you're not going to be able to have a 100% foolproof way of stopping it.

When they're looking the opposite direction

How many home games do we forfeit if we shove the Goal Posts up the ncaa's Arse?

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

So after we win at Bama, make sure to storm the field to penalize the tide!

Just be sure to put on some tacky bama gear first. It's on the discount rack at goodwill.

Plexiglass like a hockey arena. lol

Or everybody will be putting up hedges to impede the masses.

I stand corrected. Given he was even smaller than I posted, I'm just thankful she didn't scare him even worse and cause even more mental trauma.

 

[Stacmot]

Awful funny that the 3 AD’s over the “safety committee “ are 3 teams that we play every year including Bama’s AD

Was that the guy in the Bud Light commercial?

Think you might get some glare off plexiglass in day games or from the stadium ligting at night? LOL

Nannies gonna nanny.

Now that would be funny

The football program or university is not responsible for what their fans do. That is stupid. I understand fining, but no school can "stop" 100,000 people if they want to rush a field.

You’ve got it backwards, after Bama beats us in Tuscaloosa, throw on a Bama tshirt and ball cap then storm the field, Bama then forfeits the game we win!
BTW, I can see some diehard Bama fans doing this at LSU or Auburn if LSU or Auburn were to win
