Tim - the "hysterical" crack was an attack on the crowd in Lubbock, so of course I took offense to it. Kids rush fields all the time after a big win - yet some here want to act like every fan should have been put in jail because it was such a horrible thing.

Sure, the home team has an advantage with a cheering crowd, but the regular season has ended and your team lost in Lubbock, my team lost in Norman - nothing can change that now.

Good luck in your bowl game - it will be good to see a Big 12 team win the Fiesta Bowl for a change.

Pssst... in football vernacular, calling a home crowd hysterical is a compliment.

Well... having participated in a few “field rushings” in my day.. I would say, my mental state was pretty near “hysteria”... but, I don’t see that as a “bad thing”... and, Jail? puh-lease...

Also.. one correction.

My team lost in Lubbock.
Your teams was CRUSHED in Norman.

It’s a subtle difference.. but, I think, an important one.
