As someone who has enjoyed several field-stormin' moments in the halo of victory, I find it hard to begrudge the enthusiastic college students who would like to join their classmates and players on the field after a game. For them, storming the field remains hip -- though it comes with a caveat that you deserve whatever beat-down you get if, in your impaired judgment, you do something stupid, like taunt a dejected opposing player or shimmy up a rickety goalpost.
| | Don't get carried away, or taken to the pokey like Miami of Ohio defensive coordinator Jon Wauford, with your postgame celebrations. |
Meanwhile, if you aren't a current student and you rush the field, here are three words: Get a life. Your glory days at Phi Slobba Booza are long gone. And
nothing is more uncool than being older than 22 -- let alone into your 30s -- and using a college team's victory to act like a dope.
Bottom line: Celebrating responsibly is in. (And so is shameless self-promotion: Be sure to check out the expanded Hot 'n' Not List for the 2002-03 college-hoops season!) For more
on what's hot and what's not hot this week, check out the list below:
