SEC FINES KY $50,000.00 For LSU celebration

Evidently, the SEC expected them to do something with the 65,000, thus the fine.

As for the morons, I agree. You make my point. Precisely the reason that the spectators need to spectate and stay the hell off the field.

 

I can see both sides of this situation:
Safety concerns for the teams and staff, both home and visitor.
Emotional fan/player celebration for a hard fought upset.

It's a valid point that 65,000 people can do whatever they want unless there's 65,000 cops there to stop them, just not feasible. I doubt their/our students care if their tuition goes up another $1.00 over a miniscule fine, even if increased 10x to $500,000. They will only care if they are fined individually.

If safety is the real concern then maybe more security around the team/staff would alay the fear of rogue fans starting a violent fight/riot. I remember seeing CLM and his escorts (only 2 or 3 troopers) trying to meet CRB at midfield dodging all the fans and fearing a misunderstanding turing violent on the field. Read later that they had to meet an hour and a half later to shake hands.

Later,

Considering it was UK vs. the #1 team in the country, I have no problem with them rushing the field. Like someone said, I'm sure we did the same when we beat #1 UF 10 years ago.

As long as they don't confront our players and coaches, more power to them. They earned it.

 

Hell 7 years ago the students rushed the field after we beat #11 Tennessee, #13 Mississippi State, unranked Alabama (am I missing any?). It got so bad LSU had to lube up the goal posts.

 

And we still got it down.:hihi:
