Rushing the field was dumb.

It was a delayed reaction. I ended up going down again. Wasn’t the same feeling as 22.

Going there to celebrate with team and coaches was ok. Tearing the goalposts down was a bit much.

Shouldn’t happen again for a few decades.

I have mixed feelings.

I understand concerns over player and personnel safety. Though, rushing the field is such a college football tradition.

I'm a bit surprised we did it after this win. The 2022 win made 100% sense.

I do think it's funny how Tennessee history is replete with stories of fans tearing the goalposts down after Alabama games, including this one from 1984 where the AD joked about switching to wooden goalposts because the fans had torn them down two home games in a row -- but somehow now it's a faux pas. Less rules back then I suppose. And less worry about how things looked to other people, perhaps.

"It was then that I started thinking about using wooden goal posts for our home games with Alabama," former Tennessee athletics director Bob Woodruff told Knoxville News-Sentinel writer Al Browning. "They're cheaper than aluminum. But, as I felt in 1982, dangerous or not, let hungry fans have their fun after beating Alabama."
