NOT A FAN OF DUMB FANS!

In college sports fans can be a teams own worst enemy. I love the passion and spirit some schools have for there teams its great. But it only takes one incident to ruin it for everyone. I love rushing the court just as much as the next guy (well when I was in college). But when it comes to fans just disrespecting players then I would say it may need to stop.

Couple of rules about rushing the court.

1. If its during the regular season, it must only be if one team who is not ranked beats another team who is. If your in the top 15 and beat a #1-5 you should not be rushing the court. Look at the Big East. They have teams beating up on each other in the top 1o all year but no one rushes the court. Even when you see a St. Johns take out a DUKE.

2. In conference tournament play. It should only be done when a team who had no shot wins or a team who isn't ranked beats a team who is. Like UNLV in 1998 vs top 5 Utah. But respect what your team and the other team has done.

3. Respect the players and coaches of both teams ALWAYS!

This right here is what I want to talk about. If you rush the court, you should only be dancing and congratulating the winning team. You should never disrespect the losing team. UNLIKE yesterday. When the report of a WISCONSIN fan spit in the face of Ohio St. star Jared Sullinger before and after the game.

If you have ever disrespected anyone before in your life like many of us have. Spitting in ones face is probably one of the worst ways to do it. I have never done it but I'm sure in some of my old hockey days I did some things but nothing that bad. This type of action is going to put a stop to a pretty cool tradition.

Why this student felt the need to spit in his face is pretty ridiculous. I pretty sure the kid wasn't sitting court side like Spike and giving it to Sullinger all game. Fans who do this are not true fans. I get mad at players on the other team all the time. I truly dislike some players for the way they play the game but I would never spit in their face.

If you lose a big game its a tough pill to swallow let alone have 5000 screaming nut cases pushing you out of the way to get to the floor. If you are one of these fans its great to rush the field and courts but just leave the other teams players out of it. You should be celebrating with grace and class not hounding the other players who played just as hard and maybe the better team.

I hope this type of thing doesn't happen again but I think that its only going to get worse. Which means that running on the fields of play is going to be a thing of the past. All its going to take is for a fan to do this and then a player to react.

Rushing the court has always been a huge debate but it looks like that its going to be a thing of the past. I seriously hope nothing happens to a fan or player but the NCAA might need to take action now before something serious does happen. If NBA players are bringing guns to the arena who knows what fans can bring in.

Let me know what you all think.

Thats what is on my mind.
