The University of Tennessee called on the students, alumni, and other fans to contribute to getting new goalposts for Neyland Stadium after fans tossed the old ones into the Tennessee River.
Fans tore down the goalposts after the Volunteers upset Alabama on Saturday night. The fans paraded the goalposts through Knoxville before they dumped them into the river.
On Sunday, the school took to social media to ask for help in raising money for the new uprights.
“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,” the school’s tweet read.
“Anywho, turns out that in order to play next week’s game, we need goalposts on our field. Could y’all help us out?”
Fans weren’t feeling this since the football program brings in so much money to easily replace them.
Tennessee moved up to No. 3 in the latest Associated Press poll and even received some first-place votes. Georgia remained No. 1 and Ohio State was No. 2.
