Why?

I am trying to figure out why a team's fans would storm the court when they are rated #14 and they beat the #23 team in the nation? Talk about stupid.
Great game between Texas and OSU. Boggans and Durant didn't disappoint.
I look forward to the rematch in Austin.

great game to watch from a fan standpoint. give the Pokes a break, they won in 3 OT....and they're Aggies.
this is probably the 5 or 6th time i've seen Durant, once in person.....and i'm more impressed each time.

Too many Okies cooped up and not able to drive in the ice for too many days. Same thing happened at work today, people were hugging people that would usually just spit at each other :).

I figured that I just wanted to hear it from someone who is unbiased....:wink:
Durant is the real deal. Show me a better freshman player in the country. I have seen Oden and he is good....he ain't Durant. I see him as the first pick in the NBA draft after this year. I think he is not only the best Freshman but the best player in the country, period.

The whole rushing the court thing has gotten out of control. I see far too many instances every year of fans rushing the court when it isn't called for. Sadly that behavior won't be eliminated until there is a major injury or death as a result of it.

To get face time on TV...there can't be any other reason. Storming the court or storming the field and trying to tear down the goal posts is such a tired practice but I think the fact the fans are shown on TV doing this...others will look for their opportunity and get their mugs on camera for a second or two. I agree with Shine on the injury angle as well.
