Chalk it up to college students I guess, but I find it a little ridiculous that the fans would storm the field after beating #1 Clemson considering
A) they’re the most storied program in college football (and probably athletics overall)
B) they were the #4 team in the country going into the game
C) the best player in college was in the sidelines[/quote]
Of course college fans (basketball or football) storm the field or court when at their home field their team beats the No. 1 team. Hell, in years past we’ve had posters on this very Board complain that MSG security would not let the students in the curt after we upset a few teams including Duke.
Not condoning the actions (especially during COVID) but it has been a long time since ND has won a game of this magnitude or beat a No. 1, despite their “storied” past and history.
Earlier this decade they lost to Bama by almost 30 points for the National Championship and similarly lost to eventual National Champions Clemson two years ago in the first round of the College Football playoffs.
It doesn’t matter who was on or not on the field. No.1 went down. Were they not supposed to celebrate a victory (again during this time of COVID, (again not condoning the storming of the field) because Lawrence didn’t play?[/quote]
Exactly SJU85, last time ND beat #1 was 1993, 27 years ago. Because of this gd virus everything fun that was has to come to an end? We're not allowed to celebrate our teams big win? These are college kids not little children where they don't know any better, each adult should be able to make their decision and know the possible consequence of their action, which is getting infected. Should be up to them if they think it's worth it or not. Big government loves that power of dictating what you can and can't do.
Me personally, this has been the worst year in my life, I'm waiting for that moment to celebrate something and just let loose like never before. So, if I was there would I stormed the field and celebrated? HELLS FREAKING YEAH I WOULD HAVE.
And without any regret.
