The goalposts were torn down in the Golden '90s. A friend of mine made it about halfway up one of the uprights before it snappend and he fell about 25 feet to the turf. Idiot. He was the same guy that went to the Willie Otay execution/protest with a sign that says "I like Macaroni and Cheese". He liked pot.
I agree with all of the posts about having class and 'being there before'. Tearing down goalposts should be reserved for teams like Temple (nations longest losing streak) or a 1-AA team that knocks off a major D-1 school (Montana State anyone???). That is...if there are enough fans at one of those games to bring them down.
As far as chanting 'overrated' and 'go start the bus'? If that excites you and gives you a jolly feeling, hit up a high-shcool game. They still have a few regular season games left and I hear that the hot dogs there are only 50 cents.
The best support for Nebraska (and demoralizing Texas or any opponent) is for all the fans to be on their feet all 4 quarters, yelling, cheering and cracking the foundation of Memorial Stadium. I'm all for having the fans crazed and loud (hey blue-hairs...get with the program or give your tix to your grandkids) but no need to rush the field or tear the place up.
With that being said...reality check...we'll have to put together 4 PERFECT quarters to have a chance. 'Should we tear down the golposts?' - Having this discussion is like 2 unemployed factory workers, who've just cashed their enemployment checks in a casino, discussing if they should buy a Hummer or a Corvette when they win the progressive on nickel slots.
Regardless, I'll have all my Husker gear on...sitting on the couch...Game Day on...brats on the grill and beer in hand by 9am.
