Will security be armed with tasers at Kinnick?

I am raising this question in light of the recent Philly taser incident.

I hope not, if i get tased during the Penn State game this fall after an all day tailgate i might burst into flames.....sounds like an episode for "Mythbusters".
 
I can't imagine them giving any PerMar security personel anything remotely close to a taser. Pretty sure the police on patrol at Kinnick are carrying something can't remember if it's a gun or a taser.
 
I certainly hope the PerMar folks are not carrying them around, but every police officer I know carries one. The incident in Philly was with a police officer.
 
I think the 22 large men in full body armor are more of a threat to knuckleheads than a tazer. You don't see many people interupting football games for that reason.
 
I think they need to build a taser enabled fence that PerMar can put up immediately after games to keep the kids off the field when we beat teams like Western Michigan to become bowl eligible. Oh wait, that never happened because we can't beat teams like Western Michigan to become bowl eligible.
 
Only if we're lucky.

Tried to find a pic of an octogenarian per mar guard, and stumbled on bigdude.freehosting.net with this guy:

If this guy is a Per Mar guard, give the man a taser!
 
Of course, if I'm in Kinnick and some idiot runs out on the field disrupting the game, I'll be ****** if he isn't tased.

Really? You do realize that we have the largest offensive playbook in the country and sometimes it takes O'Keefe a little longer than other o-coordinators to pick a play because the playbook is so huge, right? So if a guy ran onto the field and prevented a delay of game penalty or saved us a timeout, you'd want that hero to be tased?

Actually, I think a lot of people would want KOK to get tased.
 
aaah yes, the huge playbook- stretch left/right- power left/right... glad we're good at it because it's very challenging for our OC, such an intelligent scholar of the game, to pick from so many choices within the allowed time of the play clock.
 
KOK has a taser play in the playbook?

Something like this scenario:

KOK: hmmmm....3rd and 10...what do we call?

<35 seconds>

KF: How about a 10 yard post pattern

KOK: <thinks for 5 seconds> No that will never work

<turns the page>

<25 seconds>

KOK: How about a 5 yard pass to the flat?

KF: You can't be serious!

KOK: yeah, your right that won't work either

<flips a few more pages>

<15 seconds>

KF: You better hurry, the team needs to break the huddle!

<Stanzi looks over to the sideline throwing up his hands>

KOK: A draw play!

KF: OMG!

<10 seconds...9....8...7....6>

KOK: QUICK THE TAZER PLAY, THE TAZER PLAY!!!!

<Hawk fan runs out onto the field, security starts chasing him, eventually tazing him>

KOK: Alright new clock...how about a 2 yard screen pass?

KF: Come on Ken..that is the 10th Hawk fan you have gotten tazed!

KOK: Ok Stanzi, roll out pass

<game continues>
 
Won't happen at Kinnick. You never hear about people running onto the field of a college FB game unless it's over. While it's not common in baseball, it does happens at least a couple of times a year.

I wonder how the dad that told him it's ok to do it feels. I can't imagine he thought he'd be doing anything other than bailing his son out of jail.
 
Would tasers have stopped her from harassing Adrian Clayborn?

I don't know, but it would have been fun to watch.

Yes, that and the fact that it's not hard to tell that tens of thousands of passionate Hawkeye fans will hate your guts. I was at a Dodgers game last August, and some drunk schmuck ran out onto the field in the 8th inning. Kind of a chubby guy who had to hold his pants up while he was running. The cheer that arose from the crowd when the security guy made a leaping tackle on Mr. Personality was the biggest of the night. And it was a pretty good, exciting game.
