re: Alabama security practiced court storming prevention before this game

So this is it?

Imagine still claiming that 1990 was an attempted field storming. Here is another one to put in your book. If you are going to count 1990 you might as well count 1985. There were a handful of drunk students who tried to run on the field after the kick that year. They got their asses handed to them by the Birmingham PD just like 1990. I was there for that one and it was ugly for the handful that jumped the fence or got caught trying to jump it.

You rename lots of things in the course of a thread. But never will 1985 nor 1990 be a storming of the field. Ever.

I don’t know what happened in the 1950’s beyond what you provided. No one here does.

If fans ran onto the field in 1956 or 1958, did the term “field storming” even exist then?

I don’t think you are stupid. But you claiming Alabama stormed the field in 1990 is beyond stupid. And they didn’t try, because this forum has agreed the police can not stop 20,000 fans from rushing the field. And the 50-60 cops that night didn’t either.
