He happened to experience the legend being talked about out in the wild.

So very proudly, Ned and his family even made the photo of them sawing the goalpost that year, their family Christmas card. I have not seen this yet.

So, funny enough, Saw Man's son, Eli... Saw Boy... happens to be a freshman at Vanderbilt this year and was actually at the Vanderbilt-Alabama game. Of course he was. That we talked about earlier in the episode with Topless Luke. And where was Saw Man? So Saw Man was not there. Saw Man is watching the game on TV.

It is caught.

It is caught.

And so Sawman texts Eli and says, hey, I'm getting in the car right now. I've got my saw. He also adds, as the great father that he is, that also in the event that you need bail money tonight, mom and I, we're good for it.

This is where we have to talk about the existence of big goalposts. There is a company called Sports Field Specialties that is the number one manufacturer and installer of goalposts throughout college football and also in the pros. I spoke with a guy named Kevin Deventeer, who is the director of sales at Sports Field.

And he is also very charmingly the head of what is called the replacement goalpost market, which is a market that exists because of this phenomenon of goalposts getting torn down. What Kevin told me about all of this is that the goalpost costs about $8,000 to $10,000 each to manufacture and to ship to location.

Not only do they sell these replacement goalposts, but they have now come to recommend that schools actually purchase a second goalpost just to have in storage in the event that their goalposts get torn down. And the goalpost guys, big goalposts, all their executives are on a group chat together and they watch the college football scoreboards almost like tornado chasers watch the Doppler radar.

And they're looking for upsets And in the event of Vanderbilt and Alabama, apparently that evening, the executives were gleefully texting to one another about the goalposts. They're coming down. They're coming down. They're coming down. Yeah. It's go time. And suddenly they have to mobilize to make the new goalposts and rush to get them installed in time for the next home game.
