Going to Nebraska, we have rarely been in a position where tearing the goalposts down is really acceptable. Obviously when you are the favorite always you don't get that opportunity.

If we had beaten Texas a couple of weeks ago I'm sure the students would have rushed the field. As apeshit as everyone went on that punt return by DeJuan Groce, it wouldn't have surprised me.

I think that it has happened way too often. If you upset someone that you were supposed to get creamed by, well then go ahead. However if it's your rival, then don't. It's extremely disrespectful, and I think all rivalries are based on respect for your opponent. That's why I may hate Colorado, but I dont' call them a rival b/c that would give them respect that they have yet to show us. Same thing with K-state. I hate both, but the only rival we really have is Oklahoma. I hate oklahoma, but I respect them, and am willing to root for them as long as they aren't playing us.
