The Ballad of Saw Man: How to Tear Down (and Steal*) a Goalpost

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.

And so off we go. And we're running down the riverbank. And sure enough, there's one of the whole uprights is in the river. And there's some poor college student clinging to it. But it's too big for him to wrangle back to the dock. So my now 16-year-old, he was 14 at the time, turns to me and says, can I go in after it? And, you know, being the great parent I am, I say, yeah, sure, go.

You know, he strips down to his T-shirt and off he goes. And so the two of them get it up on the bank and then we help them pull it up the rest of the way. But we don't have a saw. It's my four family members, a young life counselor from UT and a 35-year-old drunk guy with one shoe. And so I start looking around. I tell the drunk guy, okay, you're coming with me. We're going to my house.

So he follows me. We go back to my house. We get a reciprocating saw this time. We come back down and got another hacksaw. Work our way down to where they are.
