AFAIK, when the Tech stadium expansion happens in a couple years, the scoreboard stays (there’s a Jumbotron at the other end of the field.)
Best part about that night was parading that bad boy around campus, then dumping it in the fountain at the main entrance. It was later sliced up and sold by the athletic department. (2nd best piece of sports memorabilia I own, next to the chunk of backboard shattered by Darvin Ham in the NCAA tournament.)
Of course, what happened two years later helped start the trend toward collapsible goalposts. Thanks RC Slocum, for running your mouth so much we HAD to tear ‘em down.

My last goalpost game was in 2005 when UCF snapped their huge losing streak against my Thundering Herd in the Citrus Bowl.
It was really embarrassing at the time beacuse UCF was 0-11 the season before that (in the MAC!) but they actually went on to win C-USA East that year.
Gotta give em credit though, I think the fans got both the suckers.

Tech still has the double T scoreboards, but they are phasing it out in 4 or 5 years.
My favorite ‘memorabilia’ moment - helping my friend get a goal marker out of the stadium of the ‘05 SC-ND game. It was made sweeter by the tears of their fans and band.
It’s no goalpost, but with the signatures from the team’s notables he ‘allegedly’ got, quite a prize.

BTW, Does Texas Tech still have that scoreboard shaped like the school logo? I’ve always thought that was cool, even though it appears to be fairly low-tech as those things go…

“The schools with collapsing posts are un-American. So are schools who mace students who try. ” Hence the art of couch burning.

#14, that sounds familiar. Ball State fans did the same thing in 2000 when we beat freakin’ Eastern Michigan(3-8). It was the week after we had snapped our own 21-game losing streak on the road the week before. Apparently, a group of students showed up at the empty stadium on that day, but were turned away by campus police who promised them they’d be allowed to get the posts the following week after a home win.
Sadly, we had a student end up paralyzed when he fell underneath the goal posts that came down after our upset win over a ranked Toledo team in ‘01, so now the practice is strictly verboten in Muncie. They still let students run on the field after a big win, but I think they bring out the pit bulls to keep kids away from the posts.

It may be fun to tear down a goalpost in joy, but try it in anger. I once helped to tear down a goalpost after a conference loss, after we’d set the record for consecutive suckiness in 1981.
Of course, since we wanted to make a statement, we threw the goalpost out of the stadium, over the east stands, and then hauled the thing down to Lake Michigan, after a stopping by the president’s cocktail party. (He was slobbering drunk.) We weren’t sure if the post would float or sink, but got our answer when the Coast Guard had to spend the better part of the next week looking for it, to keep it from becoming a hazard to navigation. I still have one of the end-zone markers from that day.
One reason things started to improve after then was that, if the slide had continued through 1982, we might have torn the place apart bit by bit.

#17 - always rebellious - No, don’t have or know anyone with said turf in jar. My only claim to fame that night was merely touching a piece of one of the goalposts among the several pieces making their way through the bars of Five Points that night. Was that the year the SEC made the rule that students aren’t allowed on fields after sporting events with a fine of $10,000 per game? I know the Carolina student association gladly paid the fine for the school a couple times that year for charging the field.
