Man in wheelchair joins N.C. State court rush after Duke win (VIDEO)
Can't actually blame it all on fans ... schools decided to let it happen. At the end of every Missouri game security and staff line the field/court to keep people off the field and they announce the penalties for rushing. For the Oklahoma game, the pulled security out of their.
For the game I rushed the field against Illinois, I was on the front row of a student section and I started talking to the state trooper in our section midway through the 4th quarter. I was an ad hoc cheer leader for my section, and I told the trooper we were going to rush the field and I didn't want anyone to get hurt. Near the end of the game all the troopers came down to line the field, and I kept talking to him.
He was on his radio talking to someone in the final seconds of the game. He's watching the field, I'm watching him. As Missouri takes a final knee, he puts his radio away, points to me, then points toward the goal post and the race was on.
