I have never rushed the field and I am not sure if I "rushed" but I did go onto the field. It was more than a mosey but not a run either. I was looking out for Troy players and staff, to stay out of there way, but was on the side of the winning play so I avoided them if only by locations of me and them and their locker room. I mostly yelled and hugged a few App players, one coach, and two parents. And I left rather quickly once I got that out of me. It was cathartic for sure. Maybe I just needed that given the fact I am lucky to be here given the medical problem I had last winter. I don't know, but it was a release of emotions for me that was a bit more than I expected.EastHallApp wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 8:26 amDon't know if we saw the same video, but the one I saw it was not an App student, but a child. And it looked like he just ran by the Troy player, and the dude shoved him by the head. I'm actually surprised it hasn't been a bigger deal. My friend showed it to me and we both immediately said "that dude's getting suspended."McLeansvilleAppFan wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 7:17 pm
I saw the video of the student getting pushed and the student either said something or just walked right in front of the player, or did both. Either way I don't blame the Troy player for the slight push, even if the student did a face plant.
Had I got smacked down by a Troy player I would have deserved it for just getting in their way. That does not mean then should smack me down and then kick me while I am on the ground. But pushing someone out of the way as they are trying to get to the locker room; I can't be mad nor expect any punishment for a Troy player even if a smaller child was pushed.
In hindsight I am a bit surprised I did this and I have never done that before but I was truly caught up in the emotions. I was fully aware of what I was doing and could not stop myself to be honest. I am not sure I am embarrassed I did what I did or not but it was done and I can own up to it. I did not interact with any Troy fans after the game, and before the game I was very thankful they visited and told a few fans that very fact. I don't feel too much the villain here to be honest. And I will not do it again, hopefully (but no promises.)
