Eh, I and many others would disagree. There isn't a specific point where you can say it's ok. But there is a general feeling. Generally it should be an upset over a heavily favored team that's also pretty damn good on the national scale, a very close victory over your schools rival, or a victory over a school that has been kicking your ass for multiple years in a row. Does it have to be all 3? No, but it should involve one of those 3 ideas in some regard.

Kids in Boulder would rush the field after a win vs UNLV. They just need a reason to party.

Eh, but considering their reputation you think they'd be more mellow and not really have the excitement to rush the field...

The kids in Boulder weren't rushing the field for a victory, they rushed the field because they overheard it was a "grass" field.... (ba dum dum TISH).

In all seriousness, it's been a long time since the Buffs have been a national player in CFB. The Darian Hagan/Kordell Stewart years seem like a lifetime ago.

If that were true they would've never gotten up out of their seats to rush the field, they probably would've just headed to the nearest place to eat haha!

As for Colorado not having a national player in a while. I believe Chris Brown was the (or at least one of the) best running back in college football. I know that was still a while ago but my point is that it hasn't been as long as the Kordell Stewart era.

Brown was a solid back for CU, but his team still was nowhere near the level they were in the 80s and early 90's. CU won the B8 three consecutive seasons from 88-91 and had numerous 9,10, 11 win seasons in the years surrounding that. CU had a decent squad in the first few years of the decade, but not to the caliber of those teams.

I mean they won the conference and went to a BCS bowl. I know it wasn't really sustained success but it's worlds better of what they have now.
