A&M has plenty of money

along with all other SEC teams

but, I wonder... how is the fine money spent?

The tape of the Alabama play by play guys is interesting. They don’t say the kick is good.  Basically a long pause, you can hear the crowd screaming. Then he says the SEC is going to fine A&M big time for that crowd rushing the field.

Off the foot, it looked like a bad miss....then it straightened up like you did when your mom yells your full name when you're a kid.  

Florida doesn't rush the field.  In situations that they might, the PD brings out horseback cops with 1-2 min left in the game, and lines them around the field.  There's a way to prevent it.

Of course, Florida has rarely been a big home underdog in my viewing lifetime, so there's that as well.

Damn that kick looked wide left didn’t it?  Definitely curved back to the right at the last second. 

I’m not sure there would be enough horses and cops to stop 20-30,000 fans from rushing the field. The only objective should be to delay them for 30 or so seconds to allow the opposing teams and coaches off the field. 

D Gordon kick to upset ND in 1993 was a good screwball field goal for BC.  That ball started off course and veered back through the uprights.  Another all timer.

Great write-up, thank you!
Field rushes have gone on in Iowa City since at least the 1930s. In the old Nickelodeon Bar about two blocks from the east-side dorms the owner displayed part of a wooden goal post taken down after an Iowa victory over Notre Dame with the year and occasion written on the goal post (I think Nile Kinnick's 1939 year, 7-6 over ND).
In 1985, after the Michigan-Iowa game a field rush resulted in the injury to backup QB Mark Vlasic (I think it was an ankle fracture). But Mark Vlasic returned to start the 1986 season.
In 2002, after tying for the Big Ten Championship with Ohio State, Iowa fans rushed the field of the Metrodome, downed the goal posts, and attempted to remove one from the Metrodome. Holly Rowe is the best sideline reporter in history. If you don't want to watch the highlights (which I enjoyed), at least watch her postgame interviews, starting shortly after 11:30, and the disposition of the uprights. Someone was charged with a crime for trying to remove a goal post. That said, if you get charged with removing a goal post and spend a night in jail, pay the fine, pay restitution, you should get to keep the goal post, and display it in your bar with lettering indicating the occasion. It will be a much more valuable on eBay than the fine and restitution.

Finally, my daughter, and I, when she was a kid, emerged from the upper echelons long after the field was initially stormed in 2002 following a 62-10 win over Northwestern, to walk about the field, while I looked for my high school teammate Tom Rusk who was honorary captain.  He got off the field.  I spoke to him at a high school reunion. The honorary captain (led the Big Ten in tackles in sophomore year) told the team before the game. When I played (1970s) we were not very good. Since we were not very good as a team, I made it personal, each play. Make it personal. Coach Ferentz then said get out there, and make it personal.

Great write-up thank you for sharing.  What a game you got to see!

good read. unfortunately the game was a stinker, right? right?

LoL.  

Most everybody who doesn't have a dog in the fight roots for the underdog because it is more fun.
