We were students sitting in a lower section when we beat Florida in'04 and convinced our buddy we were all rushing the field. He rushed it by himself and was flat lined by a police officer before he even hit the sideline. Hilarious. We will be back this weekend for similar results. GBO.

:eek:lol: nice move!!

Don't rush it I say. If I were the cops and they rushed the field I would lock down the field and not let anyone off of it. Make them sit there so they can't celebrate out on the strip. Seperate students from non students. Females from males, make them do push-ups and other calistitcs, etc. yall get the pt whatever to make it heck on their evening. Heck if they want to ticket them all to pay the fine and repair the field. KPD and UT can make a killing...$500+ fines. Students can't get tix to other games for the rest of the season, or ban them from getting student tix for Bama or other big games, or until they pay the fine. Hold their grades.

I know I know some of this may not be legal or feasible but I'm sure there r things that can be done if they prepped early enough.

Some of the students are 0-1 vs. Kentucky.

Should they rush the field when UT wins?

Dear Student Vol Fans,

Thank you for making your plans to be in Neyland Stadium this Saturday to help cheer on the Vols to a win over Florida!

We want to give you a heads-up that fans will not be allowed on the field at any point before or after the game for their own safety. We have been told that the team will come over to the student section to celebrate a win with students after the game.

Many of you know of stories related to rushing the field at Neyland and other stadiums. You may not know that an SEC rule was implemented just a few years ago banning any fans from going onto the field. This policy goes beyond UT.

As a result of this rule and a concern for fan safety, local law enforcement is serious about preventing a field rush on Saturday. Anyone who attempts to do so will be arrested and face university sanctions as well.

For more game day information, including more about ESPN College GameDay, which will broadcast live from our campus on Saturday, visit UT Welcomes Fans, ESPN College GameDay to Florida Game Saturday | Tennessee Today.

Enjoy the day, cheer on the Vols, celebrate the win, and stay safe.

Go Vols!

Long long ago and far far away, in 1979, my roommate and I snuck down onto the field on a Sunday morning. The gate going into the stadium from the South Endzone was standing wide open. We ran in, kicked field goals and threw the ball for about 20 minutes before we got run off. IT WAS AWESOME!

I love how people are already talking about how we are going to celebrate a win that hasnt even happened. Lets just win the game and whatever happens happens. We have lost 7 in a row.

I had no clue so many alumni were so butthurt about this. Is it really THAT big of a deal? Jeez. If you don't want to rush the field, then don't. You sit in your stands sipping your lemonade and remember about the good times like propper little gents. If you do, then do it and risk getting arrested. Whatever. This is whole thread is stupid.

I'm just hoping for a win.

This is what college football is all about. The atmosphere of a big game like this is incredible and I can't wait to see UT get a big win Saturday. The being said, if we win a close one the field will be rushed. If we blow them out of the water(which is going to happen) then the field won't be rushed.

You people saying don't do it and act like we've been there have a point. But come on man, this is one of the biggest rivalries in the SEC and has been dominated by one team lately. UT players and fans deserve to celebrate how they want.

If the students storm the field there's not a single soul on this site who wouldn't be happy in one way or another..

Per TOS if you do not recognize the names of these players there is a 95% probability you've contemplated storming a field near you.

We have a wide range of students at this school. Some are very educated as far as football goes, and some just go because it's "the thing to do". The educated football students know that beating the #18 team (the underdog) in the nation does not call for rushing the field. The others are jumping at the once in a college career opportunity to rush the field. Most just don't understand that it isn't the game to do it, as they haven't paid enough attention to our history as the posters on this board.

I for one will not be rushing the field, unless I am about to be trampled by everyone else going nor will I attempt to get people to do it.

Alabama, however, (if by the grace of God we are undefeated) is a different story.

Go Vols

If we rush the field, I will be ashamed to be a UT fan. We have been there before, and no reason to act like we haven't. Have some class, and go enjoy a win with your buddies, without making the rest of us look like clowns. IMO, JMO, JMHO.
