I remember storming the court against Fresno St. I for some dumb reason went by the Fresno bench and even patted Tark on the back saying good game. I realized later that those Fresno players were huge and they could have probably broken me in half for getting that close to them. Good times...

Not court storming, but a lot of our fans came on the field in Austin after the 1980 football game. For us, the victors, it was nice. I really enjoyed it. Now a basketball court is a bit different. And I can see the hassle it might cause opponent's players and coaches. Still, its a nice part of winning having the fans celebrate and congratulate right after a big win.

Gary Parrish is just getting old, can't deal with having lost a step, he just can't get out of the way like the old days.

Thought this was interesting. I tend to agree with him. Very minor SMU mention.


Storm the court and who cares if you've "been there" or not, its about celebrating the moment. Security needs to make sure losing team is escorted off without incident. Keep the pub. coming and let the good times roll. 'Go Stangs!
