Wisconsin fans storm the court

[electricmayhem]

I know this horse is probably dead, but I'd like an opinion from you guys --

Is it ridiculous (leading the witness?) that Badger fans stormed the court yesterday? I know that OSU was the undefeated #1 team, but Wisky was FAVORED to win the game. If Wisky was terrible I might be able to see it... but they were a top-20 team going into the game.

Thoughts?

I can see both sides of this argument...
but what does a team have to do if it "DESERVES" to storm a court??
Wisconsin beat an undefeated, #1 ranked team, that held the LONGEST WINNING streak in the NATION...that all the talk was how they had a strong likelihood of going undefeated!
If there's a game to celebrate in this fashion, then I'd say this was it...

Storm the court whenever you want. It's fun. Paralysis by analysis.

Agreed as long as it is done safely. People overthink this. Let them enjoy a big win!

I've had these printed out for years.

It's Wisconsin.

What else do they have to do?

I couldn't care less what anyone from the "Eastern Seaboard Programming Network" has to say about storming the court! Let them storm the court anytime they want.

This guy had WAAAYYY too much time on his hands!

Beating the last remaining undefeated team, this far into the season, who happens to be a conference rival and the #1 team. I would have stormed the court. It was perfectly acceptable.

[DeltaBrave03]

I think that's the ideal time to storm the court. I for one hate the stupid "over rated" chant. Why would you call a team over rated because you were able to beat them? So stupid.

Knocking off an undefeated #1 for the first time in 40 odd years on your home court...is there a better time for energetic college kids to storm the court? Last time I checked winning a national championship is done at a neutral site. '

You're making something out of nothing.

I think storming the court was appropriate because, as someone said earlier, they took down the number one team in the country, the last undefeated team, and a conference rival. It's a bunch of excited and devoted college students, and if I were there, I would have done the same.

The thing that bothers me about this are the allegations by Jared Sullinger that the Wisconsin students rushing the court spit on his face as he was exiting. If it's true, that's a pretty classless move by Wisconsin students.

Now I have no idea if these allegations are true and we'll probably never know, but to me Jared Sullinger seems like a pretty class act and very respectful. Recall this story earlier in the year about a sign a student made mocking him. He thought it was so funny that he asked the student for the sign so he could give it to his mother to hang up.

I think that short of winning a championship, this is the exact situation in which storming the court is acceptable.

Now putting players up on people shoulders was kinda funny. So was seeing those guys out at the bars in Madison last night..just a little over the top lol.

Rush the court whenever you see it fit, but Wisconsin really did something last night. Glad to see the students enjoying the nationally recognized victory! (Little reminiscent of football season eh Buckeyes?)

The point I was trying to make is that Forde would consider it acceptable because it would fall under #11 on his list.

KSU is pounding KU right now... you think KSU fans will storm the court?
