Yeah, my bad; was phone-posting. The Big 12 passed a measure that will allow them to punish schools for rushing similarly to the SEC (except with even more insane possibilities, it seems). Slive said the first-time offender fine will go up to $50,000, but hasn't elaborated beyond that.

He had a pretty good interview this morning on Sirius, talking about how as a coach at any well-known school, especially when you have a charitable foundation to boot, you get requests to be a part of all kinds events and for donations. And if someone sends you a letter several months in advance that says, "hey, you're getting an award!" you kind of just write it off and say ok, well hopefully I can attend if they've seen fit to recognize what we've been doing. And they don't always have the time to research who exactly it's coming from, and that you'd hope it wouldn't be something political.

Especially when it comes from someone called Palmetto Family Alliance. I mean hindsight being 20/20, yeah you can get the whole SANCTITY OF ARE MARRIAGE :argh: spin... but it could have equally been some generic non-profit.

GT fans rushed the field twice last year, after Miami and after Clemson. Both times we had some people saying it was lame, because if we wanna be taken seriously we should get used to winning big games instead of celebrating it in such a manner, blah blah blah, but gently caress that, those games felt so good in the stadium. Rush all fields.

Or everyone could just adopt Clemson's model and just invite fans on to the field after every game (win or lose) to congratulate the players and sing the alma mater. :colbert:

Not all christians are against same-sex marriage. I'm sure not.

Honestly I don't know his personal stance on the issue, but I do know he tries to avoid pretty much ANY political discourse because that's not his job.

My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.
The worst part about divisions is that rushing the field after winning the conference and getting the BCS tie-in is awesome. Celebrating your West Divison Crown by storming the field is stupid.

Does not apply if other awesome poo poo happened in the game - see Kick Six for more details.
