Says you.. wait until we upset UMass, taking the goal post to Eckie's Pond.
I know you are joking but we once tore down the goal post after defeating the Richmond Spiders 17-14 at Scott Field. That was back in the latter part of the 1960’s when things were way worse in football than what we are experiencing today.

Trying to remember - but was that in the day when the goalposts were a big H sitting right on the goal line?

I can’t remember when goal post were moved to the back of the end zone but they were in their present day location in the late 60’s. I started going to games around 1960 and I remember us having the scoreboard with the old circular clock on it and light bulbs for the 4 quarters back then but I can’t remember ever seeing the goal post up on the goal line. Might have been there but I just don’t recall seeing it that way. I do recall that we all wore a white dress shirt and tie to all games when I was a kid.

I suppose we've only beaten a #1 ranked team once in the BAMA 6-3 win in Jackson. I think it was 1980.

That's new to me. Think it has been distributed to the rest of the teams, except the offending team, at $ distribution time.
Yeah it was news to me and at least one CFB writer I saw on Twitter. But it’s also the last sentence of the article above.

Shít just makes me laugh to think about. One of those “how was this ever considered a good idea?” sort of things. I just imagine Justin Jefferson burning someone on a deep post, catching a 40 yard bomb, then immediately concussing himself on the post right after catching the ball. Then, a flag getting thrown on the goalpost for targeting a defenseless receiver.
