Cool Thing the Players Did Last Night

Postby Smerkins » Wed Jan 22, 2014 5:24 pm

After the varsity, they all came down the sideline where the benches and scoring table are and allowed the students to high five and congratulate them as we exited.

Was really cool and I would not at all be upset if it became a tradition.

That's really cool. I'm guessing that was Nic Moore's idea because he did it after Varsity at the USF game too. He was the only one that night.

So, when do we rush the court? Louisville? Cinci?

If we win I would have absolutely no problem with that.

My vote: never. I've always been a believer in "act like you've been there, even if you haven't."

That said, rushing the court/field after a win is an undeniably exciting scene.

If we were to clinch an AAC regular season title at home (especially against Louisville), that might change my mind... anything short of that isn't quite enough. Call me greedy.

I think I agree with you on clinching the title.

UConn would have been the game to do it.

At this point, you're right. Top five Ws or a reg season championship

I think, especially in light of LBs comments about the fanbase being too congratulatory even when we lose, we should resist the temptation to rush the Court unless we win the conference, at which point, were it to happen, I am prepared to totally disobey the nice chap who attempts to stop people accessing the Court after games until after the away team has left.

Dumb question, why do you guys say "after the varsity game?" Or call it a varsity game...I've never heard it referred to that at the collegiate level before

Varsity is SMU's alma mater. The band plays it at the end of every game. They're referring to after the band finishes playing the song.

Not that kind of varsity, but Varsity (the song): http://www.smumustangs.com/genrel/061605aaj.html
