Todd McShay feared for his and others safety

[Colonel Homer]

after the storming of the field last Saturday. He said someone around him looked like they broke their ankle and a referee was getting trampled. It took about 30 minuets for him to get out of the chaos. He said the Iowa players and staff were great though, making sure everyone was safe and helping others out.

Pat Harty on KCJJ said he saw a kid who's leg was messed up pretty good and had to be helped to an ambulance.

A big reason why I just enjoy the view from my seat.

Was it Randy Peterson? Part deux?

I think if you run onto the field there is no way the U of I can be liable for any injuries suffered.

As far as the safety of officials i'm not sure how to prevent that outside of stopping play at 0:01 and attempting to remove as many as possible before the final whistle.

Bob Costas said he would never let his children become football fans because it was too dangerous.

I was in sec 107 it looked like termites flowing down a mound it was crazy to watch in person I stayed in stands

 

[Wadzinator]

Urban walked a third of the way to mid field and made an abrupt turn toward lockers surrounded by several trooper then they hauled ass literally like streaked shit I was funny to watch I bet he was shitting his pants when he saw the stampede of students coming

 

[greenelite]

Seemed like McShay had a good time in IC nonetheless.

His take on Josh Jackson - "Long w/ natural cover skills. WR hands. Still developing eyes/technique. Early-rd pick when he comes out, but would benefit from another yr"

Spot on IMO

Unfortunately they hit the field with about 12 seconds left, so that wouldn't have helped. There have been people hurt pretty bad in some of these melees in both football stadiums, and basketball arenas. My other big concern is a fan getting in the face of an opposing player, so quickly, and with emotions still raw. Not trying to be the old guy, saying stay off my lawn, just saying these situations are scary.

Yep. Always liked McShay. Really does his homework.

Smart guy, getting in with the guys wearing armour and helmets!

Exactly that Nebraska player knocked out that Missouri fan about 10 years ago down in Colombia

Crazy, and as much of a mismatch as that is, there's no defending a fan being on the field of play. "Enter At Your Own Risk".

I totally agree that you're on your own when your feet hit the turf, but looks to me like that dude saw the opportunity to take out his frustrations and the fan paid for it. Easily avoidable.

 

[Wadzinator]

I'm glad I stayed in stands Sat I'm 46 I'd be traction if I got blindsided like that you reap what you sow

 

[iowaathletes]

Sorry that was a cheap shot don't agree. If the fan antagonizes him I agree.

Last year McShay said the Iowa/Wisconsin game had the hardest hitting he had seen and heard the entire season, by far.

I just got blindsided because you didn't use any punctuation.

 

[dbrocket]

If one guy got hurt out of the 1,000s that stormed the field, I don't see the issue. We can't bubble wrap the whole world.

[dbrocket]

Exactly. Ridiculous.

 

[anon_i8nzeu2gbf0ba]

And, again, you storm the field at your own risk. Nobody forced anyone to join the melee. Also, maybe the person who may have been injured was drunk or whatever. Stuff happens.

Amazing anyone could get by the crackerjack security group guarding the field.
What a waste of $$. After bag checks, etc send them home off the clock.
Defund the band then lower the tuition increases.

I'm really not taking sides here pro or con. The event in its entirety, makes for great spectacle. Just saying, I've been concerned that one day we're going to see a major catastroffic event during one of these field or court rushing events.

It was all over the place last year when a older hawk fan got rocked by a michigan player chris Wormley I believe

Anyone remember Camp Randall in 1993?

I was smack in the middle of it. And not once did I feel unsafe or smashed in. I was also carrying $25k with if camera gear. Not once did anyone grab my gear or mess with it.

Sucks that people got hurt

 

[Wadzinator]

Back to the video if that fan wouldn't have been on that field he wouldn't have been drilled by the player what that player did was wrong he reaped what he sowed my message is don't storm the field shit could happen if u do

 

[evashevsky58]

I am. 51 and climbed over the west stands wall ( needed help getting back over on the way out). Never felt unsafe. Was completely sober too, maybe that helped

Yes, I was at that game. My wife and my father in-law there ... very scary to watch (we did not get crushed or attempt to go on the field).

Nah man. What the USC player did was completely intentional and clearly crossed the line. You don't deserve that if you storm the field for Christs sake.

Like I said before don't storm the field you don't get leveled you damn right it's wrong what the player did
