I don't keep up with who storms the field. So I guess Arky does, and Auburn does. Does every SEC team's fan storm the field but Bama? What about UGA or Florida? LSU? I just want to know who storms and who doesn't.

Re: gators storming the field.

Don’t know recent history…but in about 1960, 1-2 years after introduction of the 2 pt conversion, Florida beat Georgia Tech 18-17 or something with last minute 2pt try (no overtime back then). The field was definitely stormed…I was there Boy Scout uniform ushering.

Again in about 1961, FSU tied Florida at Florida Field… having lost all previous games after the schools began playing. 3-4,000 FSU fans stormed Florida field to try to take goal posts, 4-5,000 gator fans met them half way. Most unbelievable organized fight, actually a pitched battle, I’ve ever seen. It went in for 15-20 minutes, people just beating the crap out of each other… goal posts stayed up.

I know that isn’t technically a “Florida storm the field” moment, but there was a brigade of Florida students on the grass doing God’s work (frick FSU and their pony).

I think students, teens, American youth were tougher and meaner, more testosterone, back then.,

South Carolina fans stormed the field after beating fricking New Mexico State and tore the goal posts down since they were the team that had the honor of snapping our 0-21 run.

Not a proud moment in retrospect.
