I became involved in a discussion/debate last night regarding fans rushing the field after victories. It was sparked by the fact I noticed a story on the wire about a 20-year-old Minnesota-Morris student killed Saturday.
Officials believe he was hit by part of the goalpost after fans tore it down to celebrate the victory. I shared my thoughts with some UW fans because the incident struck me as tragic, a terrible waste of a life and a cautionary tale given that so many folks seem to ignore the potenial dangers when they rush the field.
