I was yelling for people to GO GO GO and theyre just at he front looking around taking in the **** scenery meanwhile im being CRUSHED by the deluge of fans trying to hit the field.

Seriously, sit on the party deck or GO!

You go take on a 500 lb horse and a double wall of cops. The reason we were all hesitant was because we wanted to make sure we didn't get tackeled/trampled/tased/arrested. Plus, it's a pretty good fall from the top of the wall. Not to forget this is the first time we've ever done it.

This is exactly the point.  I know images in everyone's mind is seeing the quick and sudden rush of fans onto the field, but in most of these cases the barrier separating fans from the field is level with the field, not like RayJay and it's 10 ft. or so drop off.

I know myself, I had a hard time going because below our section in the student area (near the tunnel where the visiting teams run out), there was asphalt below us and some were hesitant to go quickly.

As awesome as it would be to see the flood of fans onto the field, RayJay is not conducive to this.

Yeah, it's just hard to rush the field quickly because of the retaining wall and the chairbacks. Everyone can't just run down the rows of benches and clear a short fence to get to the field like they can at most other college stadiums.

Yeah, I watched quite a few people bust their butts on that asphalt.  Everyone I saw got up fine though....

No there were people just sitting there looking. get out of the way and let the real men rush you sissies. 10 foot wall? cry me a river

...from the St. Pete Times.  Includes going into the exit w/ drum line playing.

Colorado just beat OU and rushed the field.  Took them about 15 seconds to get all the students on the field unlike 15 minutes last night for us.

Another reason for an OCS?????

^no, our fans just need to man up
