Rushing the field at Michigan

If I'm remembering right, 2010 v. Illinois had kids rushing the field. After a game with 1,200 yards and 130+ points, it was appropriate.

2008 vs Wisconsin was a halfhearted field rush. I was there near the front row, planning to rush, and no one else was doing it so I started to leave. By the time I was halfway up to the exit, I turned around and people were on Tue field. /coolstorybro

1979 vs Indiana.  I don't recall anything of particular excitement during the game to cause it, but there you go.

Others not listed in the thread-

1969, 24-12 over #1 OSU

1982, 52-21 over Purdue (clinched Big Ten Championship)

1983, 24-21 over #10 OSU

 

1994, 26-24 over ND.....at Notre Dame Stadium

I remember rushing the field once or twice between 1978 and 1981. My memory is foggy but I jumped up onto the south endzone goalposts as they were being pulled down. Was that one of the OSU games perhaps?

Did we rush the field after the AC catch against Indiana?

Was there a Minnesota game with an onfield celebration afterwards during that timeframe?

We rushed the field when Michigan beat Purdue to seal the Big Ten championship in, I think, 1980.  I was personally smashed in the ribs by an Ann Arbor policeman while hanging from the goal post (which did come down).  I was already well medicated though, so no problem.

I believe the field was raised for OSU 89

to the day when beating MSU doesn't warrant more than a "oh good, as expected" reaction.

 

there was almost no drop from the field to the first row of stands.  The field was lowered almost 10 feet in 1991.  Field rushes were a lot more common prior to 1991 because it was so much easier and safer to get from the stands onto the field.

2011 vs. OSU (Hoke's first year, ended the losing streak)

2012 vs. MSU (last second field goal to end the losing streak)

2008 vs. PSU (MARIO MANNINGHAM!!! Not a huge rush, but there were defintely students jumping onto the field.)

carried off the field exhausted after beating OSU's Team of the Century in 1969. RIP Jim.

I was at the 2011 Ohio State game. I wouldn't say we "rushed" the field. We really contemplated doing it for a while, and then decided it would be ok. Normally, I wouldn't rush the field under any circumstances. 

M 14, OSU 6. I was on the field after the game, and suddenly there were all these people swarming toward me in roughly a u shape, and I was inside the U. Took me a second, but I realized it was the goalpost being carried toward me and I had to turn and sprint out of the middle and around the edge to avoid a trampling. Was actually kind of scary, mostly because I ain't and never was fast. On the way out of teh stadium I grabbed a nice blue folding chair that was on the field and carried it out past all the cops and everyone ese. Still have it. Was also there for Indiana in 79 but don't remember it as clearly, just remember AC's touchdown.

1986 Iowa at Michigan. Hawkeyes  fumbled with about 30 seconds to go. Mike Gillette kicked the field goal keeping Michigan undefeated. 

Memory may be blurred because I was at field level and then "rushed the field" but I seem to recall waiting to see others rush the field before doing so, so as not lose my job.  Either way, it was awesome.

Illinois back in the 80s when we scored 70.

I was at the '11 OSU game, my first ever game at the Big House. It was magical finally beating them and taking the field afterwards. A memory I'll never forget.
