moytoy12 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I think it would be a poor reflection of the program. It would make our fans look like that guy from Duq who dunked in the final seconds the other night. It would be overkill and unecessary. Also, I don't think the administration would approve. Do I really think they are going to rush the court after beating SEMO or Fordham? No. Would I get bent out of shape if they did? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showthebill Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Fair point. To us alumni and older fans, it probably seems stupid. However, as a student, I had a lot of fun doing "stupid" stuff. If the students feel like it, I say go for it. I think it's odd that students would let non-students dictate what is "special" to them. I'm a student. It would be really stupid. Hey lets rush the court and make our team look like a joke. Rushing would be incredibly pathetic. I think Rick Reilly is a credible source, especially the same day he writes a column about why you shouldn't rush the court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm...ok. Is there really a "credible" source on this type of stuff? It's all opinion, right? I'm beating a dead horse at this point, so I'll move on.

bonwich Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I think the only viable cause to rush the court this year will be when we win the A-10 tourney. That said, there's an easy solution for tonight: Rick should shake hands quickly, then lead the team in rushing the student section. And students: Mortal lock on getting on Sportscenter if he crowdsurfs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole team rushed the crowd, and it was fantastic! I think more teams should do this after big victories. The moment is still special for everyone, no one runs the risk of getting trampled or arrested, and everyone remembers it afterwards.

RB2.0 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Rush if we win the A-10 championship. Not if we beat temple. Reserve it for something special. Just like Reilly said, it's a once in a 20 year thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlarry Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 If the studnets decide to rush the court that is their business and I will be standing and cheering in the stands. I would actually get a kick out of seeing it. I rushed the court at the Louiville game and thought it was pretty cool. However, I dont think this is the opponent to storm the court against. Yes Temple is ranked in the top 20. But SLU is trying to build themselves into a yearly top 20 team. The Bills are on the verge of getting their 20th win and beating a solid but not great temple team should not be that big of a suprise. THis could be a big win but not rush the court big IMO. But whatever the students decide to do Ill be cheering with you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BACKHANDtheRICAN Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Board- We are missing a key time to rush the court...On a bad call by the ref. Anyone else in?

Blessing in disguise. FYI...apparently you are my boyfriend (That's what Postcard said you are; hilarious joke)..haha...I deleted his PM without reading it, but I saw that in the header.

Davola- Yes, I'm glad I missed that game where you had courtside. Although me showing up in that costume would have made ESPN Sportscenter, it wouldnt be worth Backhand being blacklisted from the Fetz. See you at the Annex about 5:30ish. On a side note and something that I believe will ultimately benefit the billikens, following the retardedness that Davola speaks of above, Backhand has started yoga classes to control his massive and uncontrollable mood swings. I feel that by getting in touch with my spiritual side, I will become a more complete Billiken fan. Also, I will incorporate this into the off season workouts. Namaste, Backhand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namaste, Backhand With your new found yoga, if you ever need to relocate, you would be right at home out here on the Left Coast, especially in the People's Republic of Berkeley itself, as in Telegraph Avenue, or across the Bay in the Haight.

Bay Area Billiken Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 At least the tree huggers/dwellers were finally extricated from the trees. Tightwad Hill remains, as does Sproul Hall. Cal just won its first conference basketball title in 50 years. Is the world as we know it about to come to an end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
