When Is the Last Time the Goal Posts Came Down at DWS?

[Jack Lambert]

I hope our fans are better then that. I remember this board making fun of Ole Miss when they did it.

Yeah, I agree.

Trust me...you aren't getting on the field. I know a couple of people in security and in PD that will make sure you don't touch the field.

On the 2004 Florida TV broadcast there were students running all over the field, several trying to take the goal posts down, and then you see one college kid walking slowly by the fence, not even heading towards the field...and security tackled him hard and knocked him into the fence. They really nailed him.

Damn I want see that again. It's been way too long.

THe goal posts are collapsible now. They will have them down before anyone can get to them.

Here it is....

Was this the game of Jack Cristil's quote "If they call a celebration penalty I'll shoot'em!" ?

Tearing down the goalpost & rushing the field I want to be past that. We're a top 15 team I don't want our fans to feel like it was some impossible feat beating Bama. Celebrate like hell? Yes but no rushing the field.

Having stormed the field - I disagree. It needs to be reserved for monumental achievements. '96 was monumental because 1) we sucked; 2) they didn't; 3) it had been 16 years. '98 Arkansas was monumental because we clinched the West. I was really surprised we didn't do after '14 AU. It would have been boarder line to do it - it was a huge moment. Bama this year is not the time. If Bama was a 2x defending NC riding a 25+ game winning streak, and we won and took a lead in the West - that would be big enough to do it.

I agree. You don't tear down goalposts (which is a moot point anyway s people have pointed out) because you beat #2 when you're ~#15(?). I understand the aura of Saban and his recent Bama teams. But if it weren't for the fact taht we are a very weird team as far as matchups because of our weakness at WR, I would not view a 15 beating a number 2 as some hard to believe upset.

One of my biggest regrets as a MSU fan. I was a SO in high school and had a chance to go with my school's FCA group to the game. I had set through the Maine game and just couldn't make myself go back, especially against a ranked Florida team. I remember watching at home wishing I was there.

We tore them down in 2004. I still have a piece of the goalpost. Also came down in the 99 egg bowl.
