The goalposts on both sides were torn down, carried out of Neyland Stadium, and promptly dumped in the Tennessee River (per tradition with a win of this magnitude of course. The last time it happened was 1998 against Florida, UT went onto with the BCS National Championship that year).
There has been a cry from the university to help replace said goalposts that were torn down in pure jubilation and you can help support the cause building up the newest goalposts for the next generation to tear down by donating hereβ¦
Y'all remember how we tore the goalposts down, hauled em out of Neyland and dumped em in the Tennessee River?
Yeah that was awesome.
Anywho, turns out that in order to play next week's game, we need goalposts on our field. Could y'all help us out? π https://t.co/NSMoL3SzPX

As of this posting, Vol Nation has really stepped up in a big way in a short amount of time by donating over $146k and thatβs 97% of their goal!
Tennessee has made it fun and easy for anyone to donate with options like a $16 donation, the last time UT defeated the Tide before this past weekend. How about $52.49? The final score of this instant classic or if youβre a high roller you can go big and orange by donating $1,019.15 which was the amount of fans that packed out Neyland Stadium on this historic night.
Also, Danny White seems to have planned for beating Alabama this past weekend as well with this storyβ¦
Frazier Welding in Knoxville was given the order this morning to fabricate 2 field goal post for Neyland Stadium with the anticipation of Tennessee upsetting Alabama.

In case you missed it, you can also go back and relive the incredible moments of this game with me as I opened The Word With G talking all about it including a Rocky Top remixβ¦
