Katie McDaniel: “I’m sorry, but if the other schools can manage it, we should be able to. They had to ask them over the speakers to let USC get off the field. That’s like the opposite of class.”

Clara OliverAlright kids. Either they’re going to introduce a new fee to pay this or they’re going to charge more for tickets. Either way the fans are going to pay for it so maybe they should knock it the frick off unless they want to pay more. Just saying.”

Phil Lippe: “Small price to pay for school spirit. The students and players will remember this event for decades.”

Nelson Holmberg: “I dislike saying it, but good. Storming the field is stupid … unless you’ve just won the national championship or something. Go Cougs.”

Rhonda Witt-Miller: “It was an amazing win, who can blame them? Adrenaline was running high!”

Leanne Collier: “I would donate if they have a legit fund set up. Heck, I bet most Coug fans would!”
