This video, shot after Indiana's upset victory over Wisconsin last evening, is mostly grueling to watch, and definitely has that Blair Witch shaky-nausea feel to it. But, even though it is hated Indiana, we couldn't help but be charmed by the great college tradition of rushing the court after a big upset victory.
A couple of years ago, there seemed to be an epidemic — that word again; we're still shaken up by the herpes story, sorry — of fans running on the court after games that weren't even upset victories; they were running just to run. But this one seemed legitimately joyous, and is something to unique to college athletics. (Try this at Yankee Stadium, and a three snipers will pick you off from the roof.) Sadly, our time at Illinois was an athletic barren one, and we were never able to rush the field/court. Videos like this remind us how sad that makes us.
Oh, and nauseous. The video does makes us that too.

ahhh this brings me back to my childhood...those innocent days of scrambled porn in my parents basement...back before sports anchors' cock-phone-pics and dead horses dominated my life.
Feels like i'm watching Requiem For A Dream
Rushing the court is so lame...tearing down the goalposts is where it's at.
Did I miss something? Is IU an all male school now? Geez...I was hopin to catch a blurry of a hot chick flahin' her cans -- but nope - just dopey Indiana sausage grinding.
um...I meant "flashin'" - now back to your regular scheduled programming....
Ah, the apathy and mediocrity of Ivy League sports. What is this "big upset victory" of which you speak? I've never seen one.
When UGA beat #1 UF back in 04 all of the sudden I was on the court jumping around like a dumbass.
However, due to Jim Harrick, that victory never occurred according to the NCAA. So I guess I've never ran on a court.
Herpes and the Yankees sharing a post, it's about time.
IU Basketball: Where the men are men, women are scarce, and sheep are nervous.
Oh wait, wrong thread.
Pssh. Call me when you sodomize the cheerleaders.
Yah, Hooziers.
Now let's get back to the mustache chronicles already.
Kelvin Sampson's got to go now -- he got to go take care of business with these 3 ho's upstairs.
Rushed the field once. Still have the goalpost flag from when Coastal beat #1 and defending national champion James Madison (in our third year of football ever. God we went nuts.
Kelvin Sampson's got to go now -- he got to go take care of business with these 3 ho's upstairs.
to be clear, he didn't call the ho's himself. He just happened to milling about when Stu was dialing.
Kelvin Sampson was going to call Bill Simmons to talk about the victory, but the NCAA took away his phone.
I think someone just did the Chaos Dunk.
Charles Barkley would be proud.
As a Boilermaker, I demand that we never again see the "Indiana Hoosiers" tag - I find it extraordinarily offensive.
We interrupt for this special breaking news announcement:

So God is gay? No wonder he's not married/
Once again, no 'Affirmed' from Dee - I fear she is going downhill quickly.
Well...now I know what's black & white & red all over, and it isn't a fucking newspaper.
I rushed the court once and when the euphoria and alcohol wears off, you begin to realize just how incredibly dangerous it is for everyone involved - players, coaches, those really old alumni club members that have courtside seats.
You'd think there'd be more injuries or lawsuits.
He is a beautiful rainbow.
I just think it's weird that one supreme being took refracted light. Pretty greedy, God.
While at Purdue for undergrad, they won 3 back-to-back-to-back Big10 titles. While at Michigan State for grad school, they won 3 back-to-back-to-back Big10 titles (for which I had front row seats every year). I've been on the court quite a few times in my day.
Well...now I know what's black & white & red all over, and it isn't a fucking newspaper.
This tired book
This organ donor?
+1 for SHH
...ladies.
This reminds me of another UW/IU game. Back when 'Sconsin was really lame at bball. Nationally televised game, Dick Vitale, the whole nine yards. Triple OT, jacket in hand waiting to storm the floor and celebrate the Badgers glorious victory (I think it had been about 100 years since they had beaten Indiana). Then, Steve Blanking Alford hits a 3 at the buzzer to steal the game.
The horror, the horror.
So SHH, how long you going to do this whole Dmetri Martin thing?
Rush the floor at Indiana? For chrissake act like you've been there before. Oh wait, you have, five times. Have some self-respect.
I guess one of the downsides of being a Michigan fan is that Michigan football rarely has a tear down the goal posts occasion due to lofty expectations, and it's a little hard to rush the ice after a major hockey upset. Believe me, there were a couple of times I wished I could have, you know, until I thought about my skull being split open when I Wile E. Coyote-realized that I was running on ice in sneakers and I have zero coordination.
So SHH, how long you going to do this whole Dmetri Martin thing?
I propose that it continue indefinitely until people spell his name correctly.
I agree, tearing down the goal posts is much more fun than rushing the bball court. Ahhh, the memories of tearing them down at Kinnick North in Minnesota. Haha.
Overturning cars on campus and lighting them on fire is where its' at.
Kelvin Sampson, making racist Hoosier fans everywhere realize he's Native American and not Black, one win at a time.
In the year I took off from college, me and my buddies tore down a photo-hunt machine after a miracle run to the top score.
And to this day, Gay Asslord holds the record.
We must ignite this couch!
KU is different, the students never rush the court but should we beat Mizzou, Nebraska, K-State, basically any Big 12 foe at home...the goalposts go down.
At Rec Hall most of the students left the stands by walking across the court, because of where the doors were. So, I guess you can say I rushed the court for every game, just in slow motion.
BTO, as a Hoosiers fan, I likewise find the Purdue Boilermakers tag offensive, but then again, it might do Shane McMaho...er, I mean Matt Painter some good to be associated with the word offense. I'm sure Sampson is looking forward to his upcoming practice at Mackey Arena.
tater- yeah it got pretty ridiculous the year the goal posts ended up in the lake three weeks in a row. Nebraska, yes. K-State, maybe. But by the Mizzou game, gimme a break.
I'm guessing if you run onto the field on Champaign, and your 40 time is 5.3 or so, Zook will see you as a potential starting tailback.
West Fucking Virginia University, Where Greatness is Learned, and Couches are Burned
That video makes me feel like Nick Esasky.
Mr. Belowthefold--will you storm the court this March when the Jayhawks win a first round tourney game? I mean, IF they win a first round tourney game.
Kelvin Sampson>Cake
DBDR: I dream every night of having the opportunity to see a first round tournament victory. I'll remind me of the golden years of back-to-back final four appearances that occurred so long ago.
At Florida, I was never given the opportunity to rush the field or the court....they bring in entirely too many cops (and cops with horses/dogs for football)...
FYI...Even though Wisconsin came in as the number 2 team in the country...its not an upset when your team (IU) is favored to win by 1 to 2.5 points...
So SHH, how long you going to do this whole Dmetri Martin thing?
Maybe I am Demetri Martin...
or maybe I do overdo it a bit, but 1)you have to admit though, it was totally appropriate there and 2)its better than saying you're with me, [___________] for the 1000000th time.
After the great Mike Davis experiment, I hope this becomes more commonplace rather than exciting.
That being said, I was unable to sit during the last 5 minutes of this game.
If I could actually see this video at work, I'm sure it would remind me of rushing the field at Rutgers Stadium on November 9, 2006. Ah, and I think there was almost a second there where I could have tripped into Erin Andrews.
