According to foxnews.com, the University of Tennessee is asking their student body, alumni, and others to contribute to them getting new goalposts for Neyland Stadium after fans tossed the old ones into the Tennessee River. Fans decided to tear down to goalposts after the Volunteers upset Alabama on Saturday night 52-49. Fans paraded the goalposts through Knoxville before dumping them into the river. The school tweeted on Sunday asking for help in raising money to replace them.
The school’s tweet read, “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?”
Those looking to donate can give $16, the amount that matches the number of years it took Tennessee to beat Alabama again, $52.49, that represents the final score of the game, $25, $100, $250, $500 or $1,019.15, which corresponds to the capacity of a sold-out Neyland Stadium.
