Texas A&M fans created a raucous environment at Kyle Field on Saturday night after the Aggies upset No. 1 Alabama in the biggest college football shocker of the 2021 season. Police at Kyle Field may have had the toughest job of the night – escorting coach Nick Saban off the field. Texas A&M quarterback Zach Calzada (10) is surrounded by fans after the team's win over Alabama in an NCAA college football game Saturday, Oct. 9, 2021, in College Station, Texas.

(AP Photo/Sam Craft) As the fans rushed the field, three officers surrounded Saban and led him to the locker room. One woman who got in the way was trucked by one of the leading officers. CBS 42’s Dee Jackson caught the moment as it appeared he was on the field while the pandemonium was ensuing. The SEC hands out fines for fans rushing the field and there will be no exception for Texas A&M. According to AL.com, a school could face anywhere between $50,000 and $250,000 for fans storming the field.

They were just trying to stop Reggie from killing the Queen.

“I could not make out the patch on their sleeve though.”

Went to the part where coach was being escorted and right after the contact I inched it forward as best I could and the shoulder patch on the man on coaches right arm said Alabama at the bottom of it.

Not true- the Troopers are assigned to the team and follow the coach/team all around. Some Troopers do it for a lifetime.

Regardless- it was not necessary to forearm that girl to the ground. BTW- imagine the outrage if she was black?

“...was hit by the ball being thrown to first.”

If you check the video, late in it, you will see that Jackson leaned into the throw enough that his left leg came off the ground and caused the interference obviously intentionally.

Hey Mikey .... were YOU one of the ones running out on to the field ?

It is captured for all eternity, a mob induced by ... I don't know what, but like a dam break, a little leak eats away at the sides and soon whole towns are washed away.

LOOK at these kids' (yes, they ARE kids) faces !

Use your imagination and freeze frame any ONE of 'em, and using your magic pixie dust, ask that one, "WHY are you here doing what you're doing ?"

None of 'em have a clue, just like BLM storming a city, every night for two months, different cities, burning and breaking ... and if you ask them why, it's some kool aid answer like "to change the evil capitalist system" or some OTHER inane answer.

Kirk Gibson running to the dugout after Tigers won series in '84...clocked some guy(s) trying to shake his hand(others perhaps trying to steal his cap?).

Hit the game/series winning homer in game five...but don't think he liked the Detroit media/fans dumping the "next Mickey Mantle" on him when he came into the league.

Saban getting "politician/oligarch-type" treatment?...you be the judge.

...not to mention the ambulance chasers were probably buzzing her cell within minutes(1-800-SUE-NICK).

Those were local cops; the AL state troopers were on either side of Saban. Uniforms are blue and black with Smokey the bear hat. The officer who trucked the girl was in black shirt and pants, no trooper hat. Our state boys did just fine; you may want to direct your dislike to the College Station police.

From the pix later in this thread, it looks like the 2 escort police have badges in the shape of 'bama.

Better yet, here’s an idea i proposed to a client who is a philosophy professor at a local college and politically very conservative- an oddity.

She complained many of her students were in favor of socialism, except the ones who escaped from socialist countries of course.

I told her try this experiment. Have every student with a GPA of 3.0 or higher to stand. Then the ones who believe in socialism were to remain standing and the rest sit.

Then inform those students that up to one point would be taken from their GPA and given to a student that has a GPA 1.0 less than theirs- this way it will all equal out...

If you have a GPA of 4.0, one point will be subtracted from your GPA and given to a student who has a GPA of 2.0.

Force them to practice what they preach.

He seems a bit young to be quarterbacking in College.
