Saw Man

In my professional opinion, you can either go old school, you know, with a Old school hacksaw. Now, what I would recommend is that you actually have a sharp hacksaw. This one is like a butter knife and it takes a little long to cut. But if you really want to get through the upright, you really need a reciprocating saw.

A grinder would work. I've also heard people say that a cutting torch would be ideal. Almost like a blowtorch that burns through. Yeah, like a welding torch.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, no, you wouldn't want to do that. Chainsaw is not sharp enough. You need a real fine-tooth blade. And what about a battery-powered circular saw? Again, the blades, now if you had a blade that was specifically for cutting metal, that would probably work well. But most of them are meant for lumber, and the teeth are too big.

So we wind up making it down the strip. I've got my hand on a four-foot section of the goalpost with four other middle-aged guys, and we're looking for a hacksaw.

At the time, they had service stations on the strip, and so we eventually found a service station that would loan us their hacksaw, and so we cut up a piece of it for each of us, and I head back to the car not knowing how mad my dad's going to be. This is almost three hours later. So I get to the car. It's the only car in the lot at that point.

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.
