Call me crazy, but if students did rush the field and the dogs were released on them you would see lawsuits, intense media scrutiny, and probably the cognizant official at Auburn fired. I can't think of a legitimate reason to have attack dogs on the field. The dog in question should probably be retrained because it is my understanding that they are not supposed to attack unless commanded by their handler. Maybe the dog has a chip on his shoulder against football players after the whole Michael Vick thing.

The guard tried to hide after his dog bit the player. What a goob! Likely there to prevent the goal posts from coming down. The guard tried to hide after his dog bit the player. What a goob!

I couldn't believe they had police dogs on the sidelines either! Not sure if they were supposed to be bomb sniffers or what, but is it really necessary? War Damn Eagle!
