A large group of idiot students looking for an ESPN moment on the floor doesn't constitute storming floor as the buzzer sounds. Storming the floor is for johnny come lately programs.

With that being said, if it's not a tradition at your school to act like you have been there, have at it, storm away. I actually take it as a compliment when a team beats us and storms the court or field.

UVa beat us in football this year and stormed the field. We weren't even ranked in Top 20. It looked good on ESPN though.

"Cardinal fans will argue this, but the fans wound up on the court after U of L knocked off No. 1 Syracuse in the final game at Freedom Hall back in 2010. After initially ignoring some player pleas for them to storm the court (you can see it near the end of this video), a large enough group of Louisville students made their way onto the floor and hoisted seniors Edgar Sosa and Jerry Smith onto their shoulders. The win locked up an NCAA Tournament bid for an up-and-down Cardinal team that was ultimately bounced by Cal in the Round of 64."

LOL, I see Hank covered this. Ya, people need to get over it and let people enjoy the event.

Yes, sports is suppose to be fun. Not idiotic and stupid like some fans will do when rushing the court. And you can have fun and celebrate in the stands.

A good for tradition for who or what?

Their idea of fun seems stupid to you so ban it. Great strategy
