So everytime there's a celebration after a big upset and the students rush the field, they're all arrested? I'd like to see you back up this claim, Refman.
Watch your TV the next time it happens...you'll see the police setaining as many people as they can. They obviously can't physically get all of them. I distinctly recall a student handcuffed to the goalpost in 1995.
I don't like the idea that because the Nebraska fan knew that the Corps is insanely protective over their field means that he doesn't have a legitimate complaint (or that he should be less vocal about it). I mean, maybe it makes him an idiot... ...but he has just as much right to complain as a black guy would who got beat up after entering a white supremacy book store. The idea that the university should prosecute any Nebraska student for trespass who happens to file a complaint is troubling. Hypothetically, if this student had suffered a serious injury, and sued for battery, should the university only then prosecute for trespass? Personally, I think it's rude to rush the field during away games (although admit that I might do it during a home game)... but the frequency with which it's actually prosecuted would render prosecution in those circumstances malicious, imo (not in a legal sense, obviously).

I distinctly recall a student handcuffed to the goalpost in 1995. So that student was arrested and charged for charging the field, and nothing else? I've seen plenty of fields flooded with fans. It was pretty commonplace in the '70's. I only recall police trying to protect players and coaches, and at times, goalposts. I don't recall headlines '200 students arrested for running onto field'.
You don't think schools want students to rush the field after victory? They're not going to openly say rush the field (for obvious safety reasons - falling goalposts, pushing, shoving, etc.), but schools are prepared for such occurences and do not arrest their fans. I doubt any Iowa State fan was arrested for rushing the field after their defeat of Nebraska or any Louisville fan after knocking off FSU. Gomer Pyle Field is not the home of the Cornhuskers so I would agree with you in that their fans should not have rushed the field however saying the fans got what was coming to them (a sucker punch from the back) is ludicrous. What did you think when the VT player took a shovel into the endzone of your sacred field? I wish the Corps would have attacked him so they'd get their asses kicked by the whole VT team.
Let me first state that I feel extremely bad for the families of the injured, but go find me a college that doesn't have any hazing, jackass.
Brilliant justification for death. It's the whole mindset that is sick. The inbred cult known as Texas A&M should be destroyed.
Mr. Meowgi, do the world a favor and don't have kids. Even if you don't like A&M, your comments are asinine.
I'm not trying to justify the deaths, nor am I claiming that these deaths were not related to hazing. All I'm saying is that to try to blame the school for that is ludicrous. Many groups and organizations have hazing, whether the groups are subsets of a school or not. A&M isn't the only campus that has problems with hazing, although I can tell you that they try to do their best to control it.
You are right but many others are in denial. Look, Im not blaming a whole school for this. I just brought it up because I don't dig the primary culture that surrounds the school. Sorry.
All 4 branches have a code of honor/ethics? Does the corp? If they're gonna play soldier, they may as well go all out. Integrity check. Has the alleged guilty party stood up and said "yes, it was me."
Aggies rushed Royal-Memorial stadium at least three or four times in the last twenty years. Aggies rushed their own field in 98 after beating the Huskers and again in 99 after beating the Longhorns, they'd probably rush more if they didn't lose so often at home. After every home win, do not the freshman members of the corp chase the Good Humor men across the field?
You started to make an attempt at actual discourse about the subject and then OBLITERATED it with this little "gem."
