KU student here!! I was at the OSU-KU game last week and obviously rushed the field like I have all season. However, being right next to the post coming down was scary, but I didn't see anyone get hurt. UNTIL people starting moving the posts and these girls (maybe half a dozen of them) were being crushed/trampled by the bodyweight of 20 people trying to leave the stadium. It was genuinely terrifying watching them screaming and crying under the pile. Lowkey Astroworld shit but they did get out okay.

We did it once in HS. We beat our biggest rival for the first time in 30 years. It was at our rivals stadium so it was extra sweet. One of my friends managed to get on top of their press box and waved our flag and , if not for our principal grabbing the flag from a students hands, planting it at their 50 yard line It’s fun , it’s an outpouring of emotion and I get it. I also see really bad safety issues and my stomach is in knots worried something bad will happen

Just to add to the video, there's an ESPN article that details what the clean up was like after the Tennessee game. The clean up crew was their until 2 AM after the game. "I went there and I literally picked up seven heaping handfuls of broken glass from the cigar tubes and cigar caps," Sorochan said. "It was crazy." "It was shoulder to shoulder, and the average person is probably about one and a half square feet," he said. "So there were probably 50,000 people on the field." Just wanted to add this as an interesting tidbit. For those who want to read that whole article, here's a link. www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/34863098/how-tennessee-grounds-crew-got-neyland-stadium-field-ready-historic-upset-alabama

I am a KU Journalism student and sports media member, it was wild seeing goal post come down. Saw security cam footage, allegedly some fraternity members went to Potter Lake (where the crowd dumped it) aand recovered the goal posts from the lake.

1978, Nebraska @ Penn State, we (PSU) won in a nail-biter. (We won the national championship in that, my senior year.) The fans stormed the field and tore down the goalpost at the student section end of the field. I wasn't a part of that but a short time later I found myself on College Ave (the main drag in State College PA), somehow at the head of the group carrying the goalpost. We were confused about what to do with the thing and somebody called out, "Where should we take it?" I yelled back "Old Main!" and the crowd started chanting, "Old Main! Old Main! Old Main!" And that's how that goalpost ended up on the lawn in front of the Penn State administration building.
Honestly this is one of the best thing about upsets
Storming the field or court is one of the greatest experiences ever as a college sports fan. Celebrating victory with the fans and players as the fight song erupts is one of the most incredible experiences. Anyone who hates people for doing it or says “act like you’ve been here before” is just jealous that they’ve never got to experience it for themselves.

I appreciate Clemson not being brought up in this. We get chastised a lot for our “Meeting at the Paw” tradition. Win or lose the fans join the team at midfield (or as close as you can get) and sing the Alma Mater along with them as the band plays, then they leave the stadium open so folks get to just hang out on the field. Kids take footballs and run routes, catch passes, and score TDs on the same field they just saw their team play on and it’s just awesome. Go Tigers!
I went to the civil war game in 2022 and was about 20 feet away from a duck player hauling off and punching a beaver fan after the beavs came back and won and the fans stormed. Crazy shit.
Going on the field after games (meeting at the paw) has been a tradition at Clemson since the FSU victory in 2003. To the point that growing up as a Clemson fan I didn’t really realize that it was abnormal. The university even installed mechanical goal posts that drop on their own to keep fans from messing with them.
@wrestling1013

I can’t remember what year it was, but after Texas Tech won an underdog game and rushed the field they tore down the goal posts. Ever since then we have the same thing a set of mechanical goalposts, so whenever we rush they’re quick to get them down.

I was at the crowd crush at Camp Randall in 1993. On of my lasting memories of going to college football games, but not in a good way.
Not surprised about Montana. Used to live in small town of Wyoming and I can actually picture the moment of the goal post being shoved into the bar of the small town. LOL
I was at that Holy War game in 2011. Typical refball at the end almost lost us the game. It was mainly our student section that was rushing the field. Such a weird game but almost normal in the rivalry. Go Utes

Two of my favorite memories ever are storming the field after BYU snapped their 9-game losing streak to Utah and storming it again the next year when they beat Baylor in 2OT. Field storming is one of the greatest things about college football

Texas Tech has goalposts that can be lowered cause we put them in the A&M fan section in the 90s 😂. Then the A&M fans started fighting each other.
Texas Tech in 2001 tore down their goal post after defeating Texas A&M and threw into the visitor’s section. The chaos led to many fights including Governor Rick Perry being punched in the face by an unknown assailant.
