Not a good look for Jermaine Burton. Bro, there's never a good excuse to hit a woman.

You have no problem with dosing fans with fire hoses in winter weather conditions? Damn when ya'll throw mustard at least someone can use (maybe) afterwards.
I got no problem with fans rushing the field under certain circumstances.
 
That is funny as can be and I just used it in another thread. :LOL:
What's really funny is that Lane Kiffin posted that one right as the game ended...

Tennessee paid the SEC a 100K fine for rushing the field. There's a reason that it's against the rules. It puts players and fans in danger of injury, first and foremost. Mustard bottles be damned. Golf balls........nope. Let's lose our shit and create a chaotic situation that has unintended consequences. Take all the pride you want to, but lack of self control on the part of the Vols fanbase caused the entire situation. Spin it however you want, but rules got broken, UT's president reveled in the chaos, and now a young man is facing potential assault charges because of it. Was he wrong? Damn right he was. Should he have been put in a situation that gave him a reason to make a bad decision? Nope.
Complete agree. At no point should anyone rush the field. This is the rule the SEC has in place. There’s no need to endanger players or fans.

In all sports, institutions shall limit access to the competition area to participating student-athletes, coaches, officials, support personnel, and properly-credentialed or authorized individuals at all times. For the safety of participants and spectators alike, at no time before, during or after a contest may spectators enter the competition area. It is the responsibility of each member institution to implement procedures to ensure compliance with this policy.

Institutional penalties against individuals who improperly enter the competition area must include, but are not-limited to, expulsion from the facility, arrest for trespassing, and the loss of future ticket privileges. In addition to these penalties, violators who are students must be subject to institutional student disciplinary measures.

Each institution shall publicize this policy, as well as the penalties associated with violations, through appropriate means, such as ticket back statements, public address announcements, video/matrix announcements, facility signage, and other means available. In addition, each head coach shall publicly discourage spectators from entering the playing area at any time.

Since the rules were put in place only four teams have not violated the rules regarding rushing the field Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi State.
