attention, iupui students: midmajority.com would like to have a word with you.

In case you missed it, MidMajority.com called last Saturday's IUPUI-ORU game its Game! Of! The! Night! In its regular Boubacar wrap-up, Mid-Majority also had this to say about the game:

...despite the fact that the Jaguars are still in second place with a 13-2 record, the fans stormed the floor. We still have mixed feelings about in-season bum rushes (I got kicked in the head when Loyola Marymount beat Gonzaga last year)... because come on, IUPUI is still in second place.

I can't say I totally disagree with the sentiment, but this game had plenty of significance for IUPUI. As the Tulsa TV play-by-play man said, (I'm paraphrasing) ORU wanted to win the game, but IUPUI needed to win the game.

Nevertheless, the point is somewhat valid. Don't cheapen what it means to storm the court after a team wins its conference tournament title, earning the Golden Ticket to the Big Dance™.

And oh yeah...if you're over the age of 23 and/or have not seen the inside of a college classroom in more than two years, YOU DO NOT BELONG ON THE COURT! All too often I see one or two dudes who have beer bellies, mustaches or gray hair running about on the court amidst the students like they belong. This just in: you do not belong!

These clowns are tantamount to the guys who still go to high school parties when they're in college...or go to college parties after they hit the big 3-0. At some point, you just have to accept that you're too old to partake in the court-storming and let the kids have their fun.
