I have my piece of the goalpost, and I think he was just relieved, honestly, and pleased that I had this piece of the goalpost. That's really how it got started.

Our other son was at the game with a friend. And so we're watching the game like everyone else and then, you know, have the miraculous comeback and the field goal. And we're jumping up and down in the house. And my wife says, you know, the boys need to see what this is like. So I grabbed a Tennessee bag, you know, bright orange bag, so it would blend in with everything.

And I stuck a hacksaw into the bag and off we go.

And so we're walking up the strip, and sure enough, about halfway up the strip, here come two uprights. So at that point, I join in the fray, and I'm walking along beside all the drunk college kids, trying to convince them to put the goalposts down and let's cut it up. And they were just dead set. Individually, they all thought it was a great idea.

But together, every time I'd get one of them convinced of it, somebody from behind them would yell, to the river! So we followed them all the way to the river. And sure enough, they tossed the first upright into the river. And then here comes the second one. They toss it in the river.

Well, about that time, some fraternity boys decided that it would be awfully nice to have a piece of that goalpost. So several of them jumped in the river. You know, it's about 1030 at night, October, it's freezing outside. And there they are in the river. They fish it out and they bring it back and they start marching it back toward fraternity row.

And my wife stands in front of them and just, you know, puts her hands up and says, you know, Hall, we have a saw. And so I'm a few hundred yards away with some other people at the time. And all of a sudden I start hearing them chant, saw man, saw man. And so here I come. So my plan is to cut a piece off of it, take it, and then donate the saw to the cause.

Because it's a lot of work to cut one of these up with a hacksaw. So I get started on it. They're chanting saw, man. About halfway through it, I put too much pressure on the blade and broke it. And all of a sudden, I start getting booed by all the college students. They lift it up, and off they go. And there had to have been 150 people out there.
