Clear the floor
Ok, I'm a huge Duke fan and my boys took one on the chin last night in Tallahassee against Florida State. (Can you say Bobby Bowden?) But the fans rushed the floor - twice. Once with time left on the clock that cost the Seminoles a technical and then agains after order was restored and the last couple seconds played. FSU deserved to win the game but rushing the court has been the lastest college fad to get your mug on television. If the referees would have called four technicals and gave Duke eight shots, it would not have been fair to FSU but it would get some attention somewhere. Otherwise, nonsense reigns. There is no perspective. Fans now commonly rush the floor, even when a couple 12-11 teams meet for very few marbles. A high school star was nearly killed a couple years ago when his school rushed the floor after a game. His basketball career is over. The game is for the players. The floor is theirs. Let's keep it that way. If you want to be on TV, sing a song on "American Idol."
