So this is an unthinkable story that's unfolding.

So Luke is sitting there and, you know, he's sitting front row at this point. The unthinkable miracle has happened. And he said to himself, I want to be one of the first students on the field. He's standing at the top of this like 10-foot wall. He's just adamant that he's going to get on that field.

Luke told me that there was no plan.

Once they got the goalpost down, they started to parade it around, and then everyone is thinking, okay, let's try and get this out of the stadium, right? On the side of the field that it was taken down, there was a tunnel, and they tried to march the goalpost out of that tunnel. It ends up being too big, but they slam it into the top of the tunnel. It takes a chunk out of the tunnel.

They say, we got to back up. This is not going to work. Where are the security guards at this point? At this point, the security has pretty much given up hope of stopping the mayhem. So the students, they're like, okay, we got to backtrack. They're like, okay, we're going to try and get it out the totally other side of the field. They're able this time to get it out of the stadium.

And suddenly they're out with this giant goalpost just out on campus. Where are they trying to go? So Luke says that even though there was no coordinated plan, the hive mind seemed to want to take this giant goalpost, almost as if the goalpost itself was a giant divining rod, and take it towards water.

A three-mile walk from campus down Broadway into what is the Cumberland River in downtown Nashville.

So good.

So good.

Luke talks about it almost like he had an out-of-body experience. Everyone's chanting, in the river, in the river. There's a real, almost a hysteria that has taken over everyone. So as he's watching this thing quickly sink into the Cumberland River, he tangibly feels the adrenaline leave his body. And he kind of comes back to his senses.

And as he does, he kind of takes a look around him and he realizes that his comrades, they're starting to get arrested by police.
