When it happened, I questioned why it is always a problem. Why not let fans on the field to celebrate with their team? Now I find out the championship hats were taken (read stolen) from the players! Heard a report of seeing at least four of the hats on someone's dashboard. Sad for those players who really wanted to celebrate with the fans and ended up losing out. Always someone to ruin a good thing.

Great win!!

They arrested some of the first kids. Guess they're lucky they didn't get shot, it is the Dallas police.

There's all kinds of things that can happen in a big free for all like that. People can get hurt, then lawsuits inevitably follow. It's an unfortunate reality of the world and times we live in. I grew up considering it a natural conclusion to watch fans rush the field after a championship victory, but those days are no more.

It was really, really, really funny watching the gray haired cops with the 44 inch waistlines trying to chase down a couple thousand in shape twenty year old kids. That was some serious in person Keystone Cop entertainment there.

Ya, I mean Emmitt probably tried to cap a few from the stands, eh?

Dirty stinking pigs, eh?

Wow, you are the most insecure idiot I've ever seen. Like, no joke.

It was called a joke you imbecile. Pretty sure you were just ragging on me over sarcasm but you're a hypocrite so whatever.

Well, since I have NEVER seen you use sarcasm on this forum, color me suspicious of this being the first time. Normally, you are just nasty to everyone that doesn't pat you on the head and tell you how great you are or agree with everything you say.

If DPD would stop shooting people that didn't deserve it they wouldn't be the butt of jokes about shooting people that don't deserve it.

I know there's no connection, but I have to laugh that you make this statement with a rifle in your avatar. I know, I know. No need for gun debate, and I'm in now way, shape, or form going in that direction. Just thought the combination of the statement and the picture was pretty funny.

It took my buddy and I a couple attempts to get on the field. Seemed like the cops were only sending back those that were within arms reach of them.

Sorry to get back on topic, but seeing this thread makes me wonder* if I displayed "bad parenting" by allowing my kid, and 4-5 others that I took to the game, to make the trek down to the field.

Each had a story about how they had to "time their jump" to avoid "SECURITY."

Advice will be duly noted, fellow parents (and by the way, if as a parent you are already "wonder"ing, you know what the right answer is).

There were some of the police who were manhandling people, others didn't care. I knew if I got manhandled down there they were just doing their job and that I was the one breaking the law. In other news: listening to The Ticket today and hearing the North Texas win on the ticker every time is awesome.

Those guys were working a part time job. The last thing they wanted to do was take any enforcement action. The only really motivated guy I saw was the 65 plus year old security guard who seemed to take it personal.

I'm surprised DPD did anything to prevent the onslaught. Just getting the people within arms reach is more motivation than most show on a part time gig.

Once I was pretty sure the crowd and police/security were in the right spirit I let my 14 year old make his way onto the field. I'm sure he will never forget standing on the 50 with the team celebrating a bowl win.

I saw one Dallas cop grab a girl and literally throw her back toward the stands and then go after her. Really rough handling for a young 20-something female, but other than that one instance I did not witness any police being too aggressive. That one guy was pretty much being a jerk. I think he pretty much gave up after a short while. But, picking the girl out to rough handle, really?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
