Yes. Storm the field if we defeat UGA (Go Vols)

[EastTNVol6240]

We made the playoffs last year. We've arrived. There should be no more rushing the field now. We should go into every game expecting to win. The teams that rush the field are those who don't expect to win.

In 2022 we were not proven yet. We hadn't been in the national spotlight for over 20 years. It was fine that one time. It ain't fine anymore. You make yourself look like an inferior program if you rush the field after making the playoffs and being a perennial top 10 team for the last 3 years.

Guess it depends on your definition of “arrived”. What those playoffs showed us is that we may be a 12-15 team but couldn’t truly play with the big boys. GA is the big boys. You start beating them the. You’ve “arrived”. There are plenty in those stands that prob can never remember a win against Georgia.

Lots of perspective required to address this OP. How about we just enjoy the next game!

IMO too early in the season for that. I don’t want us to get so emotionally high and then not be able to recover mentally for a long season.

I thought it felt like '98. The field was stormed in game 2 that year. Didn't seem to have an effect then.

 

[1morevol]

I guarantee it will happen if the Vols win

I know you are right. Won't be bent out of shape when it happens.

 

[Voluntarius]

How embarrassing was if for Gamecock fans watching Shane Bummer getting the Gatorade shower for beating Vitginia Tech? I was laughing at the absurdity, but still embarrassed for them as an SEC team.

 

[Voluntarius]

This ain’t the 90s. People fail to realize the youth in that stadium only know GA as a powerhouse and only know we always lose to them. Some of you are showing your age.

If you were 20, were a UT fan living what they know for the last 15 years, you’d absolutely storm the field if we won.

There's some truth to this, I admit. My profile picture should give you a clue to how many years of "experience" I have being a Vole fan.

 

[Hulavol]

Everyone knows he’s right - and we would all be so excited we wouldn’t care - at least I know I wouldn’t at the moment…

Said differently, I am highly opposed to rushing the field for beating UGA…. But should we win…. That field is gonna get rushed ….so I’m here for that!

 

[LittleVol]

No, they don't.

And, us beating Bama has nothing to do with Bama absolutely owning UGA; and, being the most dominant program, by far, of the last 10 years.

You’re right. I could have swore they had 3.

Ole boy brought Alabama not me.

WE HAVENT BEATEN UGA IN 9 years.

Damn the whole “most dominant team” okay fine.

We still haven’t beaten them in almost a decade.

You all need to get out of your damn fantasy land. They’ll be favored next week too.

The FANS BETTER STORM THE FIELD

 

[LittleVol]

It's officialy been settled. The field will get stormed.

BOOM!!!

Not really.

His father was the Head Coach for like 30 years there at Va Tech Legacy thing.

His kids love him. Just like Tennessee loves Heupel. Very similar to Heupel and the OU game last year…

Well said.

I know this an inherent insult to say, but I live in the here and now.
Heupel is 0-4 against UGA as UTs coach.
Georgia has won 9 straight?? They’ve been the dominant program in all of college football imo the last 10 years.

They have a QB that can run and throw.
They have 2 of the most explosive players that ever suited up for Bishop Gorman and Mater Dei starting. Zach Branch and the RB.
Their line averages 6’6 330 and 3rd year.

Defense…
NB (5 star)
FS (5 star)
NT (5 Star)
ILB (5 star)
and bunch of other talented guys in their two deep. CJ Allen. Chris Cole. A bunch of dudes.

If we beat them then we should absolutely storm the field

Do it! Do it! Do it!

Storm the field! Pull down the gold post! Pull up the sod and sell it online! Bring your own can of spray paint and write your name in the middle of the field!

Is this Rush week?

Woah now! Lol

Maybe I’m not aware of what I’m encouraging.

I just want everyone to turn it UP!!

Wtf are you talking about, dude? I dont speak jibber jabber, nor do I live in "damn fantasy land". You're the one speaking nonsense, and pushing back against facts and reality.

I do agree, though...we NEED to beat UGA. It needs to be this year. Disagree COMPLETELY on storming the field. '22 Bama, I was cool with. Last year, not so much. I was never a fan of storming in '98, after we beat Florida.

we can discuss rushing the field all we want, however, if we win our student body will rush the field because they don't care about any consequences. Also most of them will have a little liquid in them.

Our fans need to act like we expect it, not like it is a miracle.

 

[Carl Pickens]

There is nothing cool about planning a field storming before a game. There’s nothing organic about it and those people are devaluing the memories of 1998, 2022, and earlier. They’re turning someone magical into something staged.

Anyone who campaigns for a staged field rush should be treated as a traitor to Vol Nation. Not unlike those who have chosen to print money and devalue our wages.

I agree. My thoughts are based on the moment. If the fans are all charged up and there’s a ton of excitement among them and it spontaneously breaks out…. No one is thinking about the fine or acting like you’ve been there

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Or it could mean the fans are happy and want to party. Anyway, to each his own!

Why doesn't Alabama rush the field when they beat an opponent?

Cause they aren't a loser program. They expect to win every game. Maybe its time we stop acting like a loser program and act like one that expects to win every game we play.

We finished 9th in the Final AP poll. So no we're not a 12-15 team. We're firmly in the top 10. Now we're not in the top 2-3. And that's a fair point. But I don't think only 3 programs have arrived.

Just because an opponent has a win streak on us doesn't mean we have to rush the field. Once again rushing the field is a sign of inferiority. Even if another program has had our number recently doesn't mean we should act like we're lesser than them.

Only loser programs rush the field.

Let’s win a championship first….

Alabama has won 7 since our 1998 Miracle Season.

Get real dude lol. You can’t even compare that.

No. Because even though I’m not a star jazzer.
Jawja is hella talented son!

They have 6 FIVE STARS starting on their defense.

Come on now!
I’m super excited about this Tennessee team but in my view it would be an absolute MIRACLE if we take them down in K-TOWN.

Whenever @Dobbs 4 Heisman is the voice of reason, maybe it's time to shut it down and reevaluate.
