Oklahoma State: Two Fans Critically Injured During Last Night's on-Field Rush
Things continue to get worse in Stillwater this season. Just weeks after a devastating plane crash claimed the lives of two women's basketball head coaches, two fans are now in critical condition after being trampled during an on-field rush last night.
After a 44-10 mauling over the rival Oklahoma Sooners that locked up a BCS bid for the Cowboys, thousands of fans began to charge theย field in celebration.
The group of crazyย collegeย kids began knocking down the two goal posts, and chaos quicklyย erupted. Fans tore down the goal posts and began climbing on them.
The huge crowd took police 45 minutes toย disperse, and nine ambulances were soon called to the stadium.ย
13ย peopleย wereย rushed to the hospital with injuries, with two of them being critically wounded.ย
The lessย severe injuries include broken ankles and back sprains, while the details on the major injuries are not yet known.ย
This wild celebration shows that while rushing the field is fun, it is also dangerous andย unnecessary. Securityย needsย to be in larger numbers inย collegeย football stadiums so incidents like this one do notย becomeย a regular occurrence throughout the country.
Although Oklahoma State fans are some of the best in the country, incidents like this are unacceptable, and need to beย prevented.
A lot of questions will be asked surrounding the safety ofย collegeย football stadiums in coming days, but all we can do right now is prayย for the two fans critically injured during last night'sย post-game riot.ย ย
