What's the big deal if people congregate on the field after a win? People seem to enjoy it...If it embarasses you perhaps you should stay home?
Please do not rush the field

Yes, it was. It was fantastic.
I've been on the field several times after games. My seats are near the field, so I've just hopped onto the field after several of these big wins. It isn't always "rushing" the field. I think people need to chillax about it, personally. It's kind of like being at a party, on field turf.

Agreed!
To be honest, if we win somewhat convincingly against Wisconsin and Michigan State, I don't think we'll see people rush the field. Some might run on, but it won't be a huge number.
However, if we have close games, then I can see more people rushing out there.
If we win the Ohio State game, people most likely will rush. Definitely so if we're still undefeated through conference play after that and are a pretty much guaranteed win away from the Rose Bowl.

why does this need to be a topic of discussion every week?

My Favorite EVER rushing of the field was in 2000 versus Michigan State for Homecoming. It was the Hawkeyes' first Big Ten Conference victory since October 10, 1998 against Northwestern and their first win over a ranked opponent since topping No. 18 Purdue in 1997. Ladell Betts scored in the game (had 88 yds), Kahlil Hill scored on a Kickoff Return, Kevin Kasper scored (5 rec - 67 yds) and redshirt freshman John Buetjer was making his second career start. Here's the most eye popping stat of the game: attendance 63,290. WOW, we were 3-8 in 1998, 1-10 in 1999, and 0-5 going into this game and we still pulled more fans than ISU can pull in a winning year. Absolutely Incredible.
Kirk was Quoted after the game:
"This was certainly a great victory for our team," Iowa coach
Kirk Ferentz said. "I'm extremely pleased with our young
players because they have worked hard and given a great team
effort. There were some plays that weren't pretty, but the whole
game was a Mona Lisa to me."
Sounds as like that quote could come from anyone of his years, as genuine as a person could be. TRULY: In Kirk We Trust!!!

I don't remember, but was there a field rush after the Northwestern game in 2000? I was 10 years old at the time, and didn't really grasp the gravity of what I was witnessing.

I don't think it's every week but at least three times a year. For the record, I'm all for rushing the field on important games.

I'll rush if I please and couldn't care less what you think. Did it at my first game against ASU in '03 and it was glorious.
And it really is like going down to congratulate, not to "rush" the field. And if we win a close one this week against Wisky, I look forward to seeing a "rush" happen. It shows the country we CARE about our team.
Rush on boys.

There was a rush after this game. A bunch of Iowa fans ran down in front of the NW fans and started chanting, "No more rose bowl!" clap, clap, clap-clap-clap. The NW fans were not happy. 11/11/00, that's one game I'll remember as being one of the first flickers of light at the end of the tunnel.
I'm al lfor rushing the field but should be only for big upsets, a championship or for if we beat a school we havent beaten in a long time. I mean if you do it every week it just becomes old. It's not just what the ESPN talking heads say, but how Iowa is viewed by other schools and coaches. If we consistently storm the field after every time we beat a Top 25 team, it just shows that we don't expect to win. Iowa is at the point where they expect to win every game no matter who we play and rushing the field should not happen after all of those games. The field rush should be saved for the potential Iowa/OSU game deciding the Big Ten. just my view.
