Was Gophers’ victory over No. 25 Nebraska worth storming the field?

As soon as the Gophers sealed a thorough, 24-6 upset of 25th-ranked Nebraska on Friday night, the U student section ignored instructions to “remain in your seats” and stormed the field at Huntington Bank Stadium.

Elsewhere, embers were rekindled on a never-ending debate at keyboards across the internet and in group text message threads.

In one corner, observers who want to let college football fans let loose a little bit. After all, Minnesota was a touchdown underdog to the Cornhuskers and it was the U’s first win over a ranked team this season.

On the other side, the fun police who feel like the Gophers should stay cool and act like they’ve been there before. There also are those worried about player and staff safety as rowdy revelers stomp onto the field.

What say you, P.J. Fleck?
