Colorado's Entire Crowd Rushed The Field and Ripped Down The Goal Posts (Before The Game Was Technically Over) After Travis Hunter Forced a Game Winning Fumble on The 1-Yard Line in OT

I bet Colorado. I was cheering for Colorado all game long. I fell on the floor when Colorado dropped the Hail Mary TD pass that hit their receiver right in the numbers. I fell on the floor even harder the next play when they caught the Hail Mary TD pass to send the game into OT.

I'm going to bed $20 richer tonight. But when every god damn fan in Folsom Field rushed the field and ripped down the goal posts before the refs had a chance to review the fumble... before we had even seen a replay of the fumble that was mere inches away from crossing the goal line. I'd never wanted a call overturned in my life. Just to watch the chaos unfold. To watch the refs & security have to usher tens of thousands of drunk college kids back to their seats. To see all the discourse that would have unfolded on Twitter. It would have been incredible, and hilarious, and exceedingly insufferable all at once. But I was here for it. Unfortunately for us, and fortunately for my wallet + the poor Folsom Field security guards who would have been caught in the middle of that shit storm, Travis Hunter did indeed force the fumble before the ball crossed the plane. Colorado W.

In a fair world, Travis Hunter would win the Heisman. In my opinion at least. It's hard to even compare him to other players, because by playing both way he just automatically has this massive leg up on everybody. Tonight he had 7 receptions, 130 yards, and the game winning forced fumble in OT. No matter how much somebody outdoes him on one side of the ball, someone will always say, "Yeah well Travis Hunter also had 'x' amount of interceptions. He played hundreds of more snaps than the everybody else in college football". Congrats Patriots fans. You're getting a good one.

I've always been of the "who cares if fans rush the field" mindset. Even if the wins aren't necessarily huge wins. If I were a Colorado student, I'd be drunkenly rushing the shit out of the field as well. But the visual of rushing the field after a middle of the road win is always going to be funny. I mean that was a "V-Day we just won WWII everybody flood Times Square" level of celebration. I've never seen happier students in my god damn life. For beating an unranked Baylor team that now is now 2-2.

But fuck it. That looked like the most fun of all time. Dave is right about one thing. What Deion Sanders has done at Colorado is incredible. Not football-wise. No no no. I'm certainly not accusing him of building an exceptional football team, or being a great football coach. But to take a Colorado football program that nobody in Colorado cared about at all, and within 2 years illicit this type of reaction for a regular season win over Baylor... I mean... say what you want about it, but it's certainly never been done before. For better or worse, that's something. He build one hell of a fan base in Boulder. You can't deny that.
