I know students have been talking about this and it is the "unofficial" bowl game. After OSU wipes the field with scUM, what are the odds the field is rushed?

Want to say hello?
We love hearing from you! Whether you want to work with us, discuss advertising opportunities, or pass us a hot tip, you're more than welcome to drop us a line.
If it caps off a perfect season? Almost certainly.
100%. I know I'll be on the field if it happens.
I like football
Agh, I'd rather we rushed the field after a perfect season that means we're going to the NC game. Also, maybe beating a UM team that is a little better than 8-3.
i am one of the most optomistic people out there...but this i'm also superstitious..i don't like this talk
"Winter is coming" - Urban Meyer
I wont be there but I'll cheer all of you on that do rush the field
O H I O is the Buckeye State
Meh, I don't like putting the cart before the horse.
We should strive to keep thy name, of fair repute and spotless fame...
(Also, I'm not a dude)
If it does cap off an undefeated season, maybe. Rushing the field for Wisconsin was different last year. It was a night game and a huge upset. If Michigan were 11-1 coming into The Game, yes I would rush the field, but as it is right now I don't think OSU should rush the field.
Yes, but it's Urban's first season, and if it's 12-0? That's like unheard of for a coach's first season with a new team. It would truly be a special, magical season. Let the celebration begin with a field rush if it happens!
I hate to look ahead to TSUN right now, especially when Ohio State is going to such a hostile environment this weekend.
This being said, IF Ohio State walks into Madison and gets a win this weekend, and then they beat TSUN next week, I'd love... I repeat I'D LOVE to see the fans rush the field. Going 12-0 is a feat in itself. But doing it after a 6-7 season the previous year, and getting a revenge win from last seasons game vs those dirtbags up north, it's only necessary to rub it in their face.
But it starts with the Badgers. Let them play this game first, then it's beat TSUN week.
Time and Change will surely show, how firm thy friendship O-HI-O!

"Winter is coming" - Urban Meyer
@hail2victors
You guys rushed the field after beating Michigan St.?!? If you can rush the field by beating a 5-5 team, we are entitled to rushing the field after a perfect season. "A PERFECT SEASON" Still we gotta get there first.
really starting to have that gut feeling...too much talk looking forward...perfect season talk...thinking we will handle the badgers while everyone else is talking about us losing... eeeeeek
"Winter is coming" - Urban Meyer
It's not about beating Michigan, it's about defying the odds and revelling in the joy of a perfect season (judging that we get past Wisconsin, nothing's guaranteed these days). I've never understood the adversion to rushing the field; it's not like we do it often, and during certain circumstances I believe it to be completely warranted. Last year vs. Wisconsin was due to the cinematic finish, and it was a singular bright spot in a terrible year. Did it really warrant rushing the field? Probably not, but who cares? Let the people celebrate.
An undefeated season is f*cking hard, folks. There's a reason we've only had a handful of them in our 100+ year history. To cap off a perfect season with a win against our resurgent storied rival at home would be a perfect ending to a season that even NCAA sanctions cannot take away from. Damn right that's worth celebrating.
meh, too early to discuss this. lets get by wiscy and then maybe I will consider talking about it.
I wouldn't put too much stock into Steele's prediction. It was surprisingly lacking of substance . He basically said, "Wisconsin will win because they're angry that they lost last season". We have the talent and personnel to pull this out. Plain and simple.
I won't have the privilege to be there, but I would be all for rushing the field. To the rest of the nation, our season means nothing. Rushing the field after a perfect season, I'd say that at the very least shows people that it still means something to us. That's all that matters
It's 5 o'clock somewhere, & Michigan still sucks
Also, it's a bit odd that Steele is waffling from his preseason prediction of OSU going 12-0. If my brother's 4-6 FCS team put up a couple of hundred yards on the ground against Indiana , would thru be favoured over OSU? Sorry, not buying the Wisky hype.
I'll rush Ohio Stadium after the Wisconsin victory if we're allowed.
Don't give up... Don't ever give up.
Im not big on rushing the field unless it is a large upset, shows we didnt necessarily expect to win and that the W surprised us.(ok when sends us to NC games) Last year against Wisconsin was ok becuase we had a rough year and nobody expected us to win, especially with such a fantastic finish. However, if it marks a 12-0 season I think I could make an exception to the rule, even if we arent going to a bowl game. I mean there has only been 5 perfect seasons so it would be a historic moment.
I rushed the field back in '02. Took a chunk of turf from the center of the "O", which can now be found in the front yard of 1832 Summit Street. It's an experience I'll never forget.
However, on the way in, this guy next to me took a weaponized load of mace to his grill. I caught the residual over spray so it didn't suck too bad. I got to pat Krenzel on the back and then on my way out I watched the masses fail at tearing down the goal post in front of the student section. After I got out (I simply walked out of the tunnel) I stumbled into Larkins (where the RPAC is now) to use the facilities. The same guy was in the shower next to some other poor bastard with their faces under the water both screaming in agony.
I won't get into what I experienced west of High Street that night. Let's just say my point is, if you rush the field be careful of mace and don't start any riots. :)

"I'm One Bad Buckeye, and I approve this message."

Very well played TennBuck.
One Bad Buckeye... you rushed the field in Ann Arbor (2001)?
Busting your chops... I also rushed the field in 2002 and patted Branden Joe on the back. Also got away from the circus around the goal posts...
I really don't get the decorum crowd on this one. Buckeyes finish a 12-0 season, and there is no bowl game after? Do you consult Emily Post or do you show your unbridled enthusiasm? I won't be there, but if I were I'd be the guy trying to pull down the goal post.
i mean, thousands of students jump into gross, freezing mirror lake water IN ANTICIPATION of a win every year. It's not really a far stretch to also storm the field...
Apples to oranges maybe, but godamnit I will be on that field if we go undefeated.
I hope it's a moot point. But if the Buckeyes do finish a perfect season I cannot for one second imagine why the fans would not want to celebrate that win on the field. Oh come let's sing Ohio's praise, and songs to alma mater raise...
All this talk about rushing the field for a perfect season... Did we forget that we have a game against Wisconsin that is not in the bag officially? Call me superstitious like Buckeyebrowny919 but this forum came a week too early. Don't worry, I've been wanting to post forum(s) in honor of rivalry week and rushinig the field but I think its best to not put the cart before the horse yet. Let's go get the W versus Wisconsin then revisit this matter. Go Bucks!

@BME,
Players cannot afford to put the cart before the horse. Fans? We can put that cart wherever we want it, before the horse, on top of the horse, strapped to a rocket and heading toward the moon. Maybe you're supertitious, maybe you're protecting yourself against disappointment. Me? I'm already wondering whether Urban can lead OSU to back-to-back undefeated seasons, and I'm confident that my wondering will have absolutely no effect on whether or not it happens.
How many chickens do we have? I was under the impression they have yet to hatch. And that they play Wisconsin first.

99.5 chance you see the fans on the field all day on ESPN
I was on the field twice in my lifetime. Once in a "meaningless" game against Michigan 98. To our credit we didnt get to see many of those victories while I was a student in the 90's. So rushing the field was a huge knee jerk reaction to the surprise that we actually beat Michigan!
The second time was in 2002. A much more warranted rush of the field for sure. It was fun to get on the field and slap players back. If you have a chance to beat Michigan and go undefeated (if we win this week of course) then I say go ahead and do it. You dont get a chance to do it much in football so take the opportunity to create a memory!

Ahh that 2002 scUM game was special... Still have a piece of that turf in a samich baggy with my student season ticket from 13A. Patted Doss on the back where he was kneeling in the O at mid field. Hoisted my cousins husband on the goal post. Roommate was holding up one of Krezels legs on the cover of SI. What a day that was...
Lets not too ahead of ourselves, still have to varment hunt at 3:30 this weekend. If it happens next week, it'll not only put a big exclamation mark on the season and send all of the seniors out the right way, pave the way for gray boxes of goodness, and hopefully leave that unfinished taste for the team going into the offseason. I'm sure Mariotti would love that.
Nothing like dancing on the field in 02...
I'll definitely be on the field if we're capping an undefeated season. That's huge.
I wouldn't cheer for Michigan if they were playing the Taliban.
Hail2Victors: I mean this with respect...you guys have beaten us a lot lately and you have more class than that. Act like like you've been there before. Not an upset, not a CG berth, just a rivalry win.
If you saw the end of the Kansas/MSU game last night, a couple players started to jump up and down at midcourt and were instantly signaled to stop by the more experienced players. Yeah, you beat a top 10 Kansas team, but you shouldn't be surprised about doing it.
@buckeye.33
We rushed the field because it was a last second win over a rival we hadn't beat in 4 years. Same thing when they rushed the field last year in AnnArbor after beating OSU for the first time in 8 years.
------------------------------
so let me get this straight. you think it's ok for michigan fans to rush the field after beating a .500 ohio state team, but it's not ok for ohio state to rush the field if they end up undefeated? LOL double standards much? but it was ok for michigan fans to rush the field after michigan beat "OSU for the first time in 8 years". hold on while I LOL.
Go for it. It's a fun aspect of college sports, forced or not. I'd say a 12-0 season, 8-0 Big Ten record, and 5-0 Revenge Tour record would be reason to go down there and rush it. I'd do it just to tell Hoke that he's fat. And he'd respond "look who's talking". :)
Class of 2010.
@hail2victors:
What? I never said any of that. You dont think we should rush the field after a 12-0 season. But you guys rush the field after beating a .500 team last year and again rush the field after beating a .500 team this year.? I understand the rivalry part but how can you say we shouldnt rush the field after a perfect season when you guys do after beating .500 teams. You going to rush the field after beating ND next year? 02 and 06 we rushed the field cause we had perfect 12-0 seasons!! What makes this year different? But again I say we still gotta get there.
FEEL THE RUSH! GO BUCKS!
I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.
App State fans should have rushed the field in the "big" house.
^^^^ so should have the Toledo Rocket fans
@Ahh Saturday I agree the fans dont have to worry where to put the horse or the cart.
This team wasn't supposed to be 10-0. So it isn't about winning a couple more games It would be about winning all of them.. If I was at that game and the Buckeyes won, I would rush the field. Show them that we have been there before and we know how to rush a field... lol
O H I O is the Buckeye State
Depends. If it's a last second victory and emotions are high? It'll probably happen. If we crush em? Probably won't.
I didn't get to rush the field after the Wisky win last year. Too many people on the field. So, students, should definitely rush.
for being 12-0? yes,
but for beating scum, lame.
October 20th: National Kenneth Guiton Day
I will be doing everything in my power to rush the field when we finish the season 12-0. I rushed the field against Wisconsin last year after dislocating my shoulder the Monday before. Bad idea based on my circumstances? Maybe. Do I regret it? Not once.

I really dont get how some of you have a problem with this?! Its college sports thats what they do! Com'on live a little....
Let's take care of Wisconsin first... Then we'll talk about scUM.
I would also have to disagree with Hail -- not sure how you can belittle our fans potentially rushing the field if we are fortunate enough to go 12-0 (obviously we have two huge battles left, first), when your fans rushed the field (not to mention Denard's ridiculous "grenade" incident) after beating the worst Ohio State team since the 1800s. I understand it's been a while since you had beaten us, but our team lost to just about everybody last year -- eeking out a 6 point win in Ann Arbor over a team as bad as our 2011 squad was, isn't something to be too proud of. So to use your own quote right back at you: "act like you've been there before".

When I was in college (01-05) I rushed the field every chance I got. It was great. Now that I am almost 30 I probably wouldnt, but I would not blame one college kid for doing it.
@ Hail
Sure you did. Here is your quote:
So you basically implied above that it's classless to do it, and yet at the bottom of the same post you attempt to rationalize why your fanbase did it to us last year, and here we are 5 minutes ago, you say that you wouldn't do it if you could be the one making the decision:
So which is it?
/\ This /\
Rushing the field is for losers, unless my team does it!
I think Hail's intent was to say that "Rushing the field" is more a celebratory act reserved for monumental upsets or long-starved victories over rivals. I don't necissarily agree with this viewpoint, but he wasn't trying to belittle us.
Honestly, since the year started, a majority of the commentariat have been regarding an OSU victory in The Game as if it were a certainty. If it's such an expected victory, does it really warrant rushing the field? I'd normally say no, but considering the fact that (hypothetically, of course) we'd be playing for an undefeated season, and that it's our de-facto bowl game, I'd consider it a most worthy occasion.
@ Hodge
IMO I also wouldn't be all for rushing the field, either in Michigan's case last year (embarrassing that they did IMO given how bad we were), or this year for us based on it just being a rival. Now if we were 12-0 celebrating the fact that these guys went from an awful 6-7 squad to a 12-0 squad, I can understand why they would, but I've never been a big proponent of rushing the field in too many cases. I just take issue with the hypocrisy present in Hail's post, and I generally like Hail and respect his input, I just didn't like the "it's ok when we do it, but not when you do it" premise that it appears he is advocating based on the posts I quoted.
100%!! Yeah baby...but let's win first!!...\m/ \m/

"The height of human desire is what wins, whether it's on Normandy Beach or in Ohio Stadium." ~Woody Hayes~
Ahhh... I can see why Michigan would want to rush the field last year against an OSU team w/ the their most losses in a season in over 100 years.
To Hail: First off...it's not disrespectful to storm the field...I did in 2009 when we beat Iowa in OT. It's about excitement and an overall love for your team and what they've just accomplished. Not to mention tTUN fans...have a little more sense to come to a thread about storming the field after beating your favorite team. You guys would do it if you beat us and you're undefeated...stop hating. M Man actually has sense...unlike you obviously. Up votes for M Man despite his closet Buckeye love;-)
Addition: Thanks for the down vote Hail...GO BUCKS! Only 9 days till 2005-2010 becomes 2012-2020....are you ready for it? Let the domination begin...again!

How is that hypocritical, Razr? If Ohio State hadn't beat Michigan in 7 years and they won, I would say go for it. If they hadn't beat Wisconsin in 4 years, I'd be for it. If they were playing a top 10 Nebraska team and won in the final seconds, I'd say go for it. I'm not opposed to rushing the field. If Michigan wrapped up a perfect season, but couldn't play in the post season, was a heavy favorite at home and had won 7 of the last 8 against ohio state, I wouldn't rush the field. If you all wanted to, sobeit. A differing opinion isn't hipocrisy.
Hodge summed it up pretty well. It doesn't matter what your record was last year. You may have been 6-5 entering the game but you also had Posey back and OSU played their best (at least second best) game against us. It wouldn't have mattered if you were 0-11. Record doesn't matter in rivalry games, especially The Game. They didn't rush the field because they won, they rushed the field because they won for the first time in almost a decade. It was huge monkey off the proverbial Michigan back. It was a rejoicing and a time that RichRod was finally put to rest.
Bhop, I have been ignoring your posts for the last 6 months. But, by all means, continue on like I care about your opinion of me and M man or anyone else posting here.

This is basically our bowl game though, do people not rush the field after a big bowl win?
Want to hear a joke? It's OK for scUM to rush the field after beating a 6-5 osu team but not OK for OSU to rush the field if they beat michigan and finish 12-0.
If you can't see how that's hypocritical then you do not understand the definition of hypocrisy
*derp*
@ Hail
I pointed out exactly why the case you're making is hypocritical.
You make the implication that it would be classless for a potential (again, we haven't done it yet so this is all hypothetical) rushing of the field by OSU fans after going 12-0 following a 6-7 campaign where we lost to everyone with a pulse (and a few without), while attempting to rationalize UM fans rushing the field after winning by 6 points at home against the worst Ohio State team that's ever taken the field (and in fairness to the players, the disaster of 2011 was far more on the coaching staff than the players, IMO) during the lifetime of anyone currently living with the exception of what appears to be 3 folks who would've been infants during the 1897 season (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldest_people#Ten_verified_oldest_people_li...). The case you're making is not only hypocritical. It's utterly absurd.
I can respect your difference of opinion that you think it's ok for UM fans to rush the field after winning last year, that is fine -- but don't say it's not hypocritical to then turn around and imply that the conditions under which the original poster in this thread has put forth for a rushing of the field by OSU fans is in some way classless. Give us all a break, here.
Edit: Just to add as others have mentioned, this isn't just the Michigan game for us. It's our season-ender. It's our bowl game, our NCG.

Yeah Hail your never gonna win this arguement buddy so I would just leave it alone lol. Considering this is the biggest game on our schedule this year (and every year) we would want nothing more than to curb stomp scUM and send them off licking their wounds to cap off a 12-0 season. Whats not to celebrate?? What because its OSU and we've won alot of games in the past?? Those past games have nothing to do with the players that are on the field now working their tails off trying to get better everyday. Im all for storming the field. It will more than likely be young 18-25 yr old kids storming the field so letting them show a little emotion after a long hard fought season is perfectly fine in my eyes...
Hail, is it because OSU is on probation??
Any other year or team, who finishes undefeated would rush the field regardless, especially if the last game came against your biggest rival, and probably the biggest rivalry in all of sports...
On a normal year, the bucks going 12-0 would either mean NC game (after the big10 champ of course) or Rose Bowl, and students would still rush the field. An undefeated season, is an undefeated season. We have no bowl game, finishing perfect totally justifies rushing the field. Even if it is against the Wolverqueens who should already have 5 losses. But I suppose they'll get #4 vs us and #5 in their bowl game.
I just wonder who it is that keeps giving downvotes to all the people who are debating hail on rushing the field? It certainly wouldn't be a fellow OSU fan, would it?
If not an OSU fan, then who could it be...
ps: I keep countering your downvotes with an upvote everytime I see one!
HA!
Hail...what does ^this^ reply sound like to you??? It sounds like a hypocrite to me...sorry. Whether you ignore me or not...it's true. Your point(s) are the ones that are moot...

Much like everything else, Michigan fans seem to think everything is about them If Ohio State were 7-4, no, there wouldn't be a rushing the field by the fans.
"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.
I have a few things to say about the topic and this thread.
1) The fans talking about 12-0 won't jinx 12-0 it has no bearing for to what happens on the field. If the Buckeyes lose they lose, and it really doesn't matter what we talk about on here.
2) I think rushing the field should be restricted to schools who have never won anything. I TYPICALLY believe rushing the field or court is dumb and nothing good can come of it.
3) That being said if this team beats Michigan and ends up 12-0, they should absolutely rush the field and celebrate like a bunch of drunken fools lol. If I were at the game and in the stands my ass would be out there and I'm a grown assed man who has no business doing such things. Let's face it, 12-0 is our national championship this year. The Michigan game is our bowl game. 12-0 has only happened what 5 times in Buckeye history? This senior class deserves to go out with a bang. Hell I think they should all be carried off the field. Then Urban completing a perfect record in his first season, and beating Michigan his first shot. Yeah, rush the field Buckeye fans, but don't make a habit of it.
@hail, this is the first time I've seen you involved in a thread so passionately in a LONG time. I think you have to step back from the situation to bring a fair perspective to the discussion. tOSU this year is unlike any other year in tOSU history thanks to the NCAA. The scUM game this year is essentially our bowl game, our national championship game, and our revenge from last year game all rolled into one. This years THE GAME, means soooo much more than any other year (granted #1 vs #2 or the game to go to the National Championship mean a lot as well), given how emotionally invested all tOSU fans (especially the passionate ones) are in this years team. If we win (and I don't think it's a given), rushing the field will be a forgone conclusion, because of the reasons mentioned above. I get what you're saying, but....you won't win this argument here this year.
BT,
#3 hits it on the head. It is about the Seniors going out as winners and undefeated and the fans celebrating with them for all the great memories they have blessed us with.
This team is honestly my favorite Buckeye team I've ever watched. They aren't the best, but they are absolutely my favorite. I don't get that emotionally involved in sports, it's a diversion from my hectic work week and other stresses in my life which drain a lot of my emotions, but I feel about this team the way I felt about sports when I was a kid. If they lose, I'm probably going to throw a tantrum and may even cry. If they go 12-0, I can't pretty much promise I'll cry. I never get this emotional about a team and this year's Reds team had me that way and this year's Buckeyes team has me feeling this way. I've been blessed this season to have my 2 favorite teams be a pretty special group of guys who were really a joy to watch.
@ Ahh Saturday,
This was funny when I read it so I took this with a grain of salt. I think you know me well in that I am protecting myself against disappointment. I haven't sip the "We're gonna beat Wisconsin due to them using a 3rd string QB" Kool-aid yet. It probably doesn't help that I've been there before in 2010 to watch us lose. So for now I'm cautions.

Edit: I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but I predicted that we go 10-2 this seaon with a lost against Wisconsin... Lets put a spin on this question since their seems to be a lot of IFs. If we lose to Wisconsin, and we beat Michigan to go 11-1, do we still rush the field?

OK... so now we are 11-0... with only TSUN between us and the glorious bragging rights that come with an undefeated season. I sit in 30A down near the student section and think that if we win it would be awesome if the entire field is covered with fans singing Carmen Ohio... The team deserves to know how great an accomplishment it is, and how proud they've made their fans and the whole state.
At this point it would be a crime not to rush the field..
Im not going to be at the game, if the Buckeyes win could someone rush the field for me?

I have a cousin who thought our fans were wrong to rush the field after last year's Wisconsin game. He kept trolling me about it and I almost unfriended him. We're better now, but he's still wrong.
If we're undefeated, I say rush on! (I'll be in B-Deck, though, so I won't be able to join in.)
Real fans stay for Carmen.
I will be in 11A and will take the opportunity to rush the filed along with my 12 year old daughter after we win the game. My other daughter is a senior and was unable to rush the field on the two other occasions during her time at tOSU. She will be chomping at the bit should good triumph evil Saturday afternoon.

why is this even a topic? How about we win the game first. THEN, instead of PLANNING a rushing of the field, how about we possibly rush the field out of pure excitement and randomness. That is what is supposed to happen.

Got to play good enough to win before you start making plans!!! This game will not be easy, anyone that thinks it will is not in their right mind.
I'm rushing the bar for shots!!!
An angry fan...rooting for an angry team...led by angry coaches
@Buckeyebrowny919 Im not superstitious because its bad luck... I see what your saying about planning the rush but its all in fun and its not going to decide how the players are going to play. The whole season was a rollercoaster ride and what a finish it would be to see our enemy go down and then all the fans rush the field.
GO BUCKS
BEAT TSUN

lol I AM supersititious though in a sense when it comes to these things. i understand the fun and excitement behind them, but talk like these freaks me the eff out!

I'm totally rushing the field after the game if/when we win. I didn't last year against Wisconsin and have regretted it ever since.
First: I don't think Hail will comment anymore because you will continue to downvote him.
Second: I am watching "The Game" @ an Alumni game watch in Bloomington,Mn. and will rush the field(OK it will be the grassy knoll outside the bar) but I will be rushing the field at the Shoe in spirit as it shouild be done every year we win it !
Edit: and thanks for the downvote guy haha
TTUN Fans are idiots.
You rush the field because:
1. Braxton's Heisman chances are that much realer.
2. We're 12-0 for crying out loud.
3. We may get an AP national championship nod.
4. WE JUST BEAT FREAKING MICHIGAN!!!

To all that rushed the field, great job. That was awesome to see that many people on the field. Also funny watching Hoke getting the hell out of there.

I rushed the field. At first I wasn't but then I realized, . . . how many Michigan game am I going to get to go to? How many undefeated seasons will we be a part of? How many times will we have a losing season made up for by a winning season? The verdict was clear. Rush that field!!!!

It was great being on the field again! (I was on last year after we beat Wisky). The funniest part was, after 35 minutes or so, we decided to leave, and headed toward the ramp at the north endzone. There was a huge bottleneck of fans leaving. Well, the scUM band hand't left yet, and were still sitting in their section. Droves of fans are exiting, walking right by them, yelling and swearing at them. Their band was protected by 7 highway patrolman. In the 15 minutes it took to get out of the bottleneck, the crowd sang We Don't Give a Damn About the Whole State of M1%$ig&n about 15 times. Between the singing (I thought of it more as a serenade) and the yelling, the band was absolutely terrified. I bet they had to stay for at least another hour or so. Absolutely hilarious.
jakebuckeye posted it earlier, it's not like this was a win over Illinois. hahahahah LMAO at that one.
its 2pm 11/25 and scUM still sucks!

Why wouldn't the Buckeye fans rush the field? A team went from 6-7 to 12-0 through all the adversity they faced....I think rushing the field is justified.
lol at the michigan fan downvoting everybody. i thought osu was going to lose? haha
