I scrolled through all the seemingly meaningless arguing and bickering. I rushed the field. I let the first group go because I had to shimmy my way over to a shorter jump (7 feet instead of 13 or something like that) and then had no issues getting to the field. However, one of the girls I was with brother got arrested shortly after I got onto the field exactly where I jumped off. Sucks for him. I was told that the cop directly told him not to jump off and he went ahead and did it, and then kind of wrestled to get away before getting tackled and arrested. Idiot.
I see no issue with people rushing the field except that it's borderline riot. I don't think they wanted anyone getting hurt to avoid legal issues. Also things like pulling down the goal posts, stealing from players (saw quite a few people grabbing players and practically forcing them to give them their game-day gloves), and people acting ridiculous.
I would be interested in knowing how many of the people who rushed the field have been to all games UNT, or at least home games. Or if they were just fairweather fans who wanted to steal junk from the players. We'll never know!
