Same one that got thrown in the Reflection Pond?


Apr 13, 2017, 11:04 AM

wonder how Fanatics ended up with it, or where it'd been for that matter

Depends on which goal post you are talking about. I was a senior at Clemson when we finally beat Florida State at home in 2003 and both goal post came down. I have a section of one of them. It went into the reflection pond after the game, then myself an few others got it out can took it to the apartments across from Bowmen (before they burnt down). It was cut up into about 10in sections. I ended up with one of them.

Re: ah - I didn't know of multiple....


Apr 13, 2017, 11:13 AM

just the stories of them going in there. Actually couldn't recall which game.

Think it was the ones from the apartments then? I still wonder why Fanatics got them. Anything for a buck, I 'spose

I always wondered


Apr 14, 2017, 11:03 AM

Where the rest of that aluminum ended up. I have two sections (one from 2003 FSU, one from 2002 Carolina); both ended up in the pond. I've been wanting to get a nice base made for them, plaque, ticket, all that jazz.

I was also at that game, but i only remember the hill side goal post going down.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That was 2002 UC$. FSU brought both ends down IIRC.


Apr 14, 2017, 11:04 AM

Cops defended the Carolina game. They were ordered to vacate for FSU.

Good memories! remember hanging from it when the pepper spray came out...

couple of goal posts over those couple of years - hence the self lowering :(

I have about a 5 inch section. That was my freshman year and I after it went into the reflection pond we carried it to Daniel Square. We waited around there all holding our sections while people gathered up hacksaws. Goalposts give off a funny smell when you saw them apart, my brother-in-law still has his lucky beer can from that game.

One of the other pieces was cut up right by Daniel Hall


Apr 17, 2017, 9:14 AM [ in reply to Re: Same one that got thrown in the Reflection Pond? ]

Someone ran to grab a circular saw. We moved a Coke machine out of the way, plugged it in, and cut that ####### up.

What a memory!

So how could the post be from '96 - '05 when we tore the posts down in 2003 after beating Free Shoes University?

out 3rd and final win of that season. Man, things were different back then.

Yep. That goal post got carried all around the campus and eventually made it (or at least part of it) to Mauldin Hall where I was living at the time. The funniest thing was hearing my Russian roommate's story about it the next day and how he was so messed up and dumbfounded over what it was.

They may have rotated them out... not sure about that part.

I'm saving up to buy the current east endzone post

Its the one that hurt Mike Williams and cost us a 2nd national championship.


I'm planning on sending it to outer space with the Cubs Bartman ball.

Fanatics is going a little overboard in trying to cash in on Clemson's national championship.

They'll make about $25K if they cut up the whole thing (minus what they paid for it).

How can this goal post be from Death Valley 1999-2005? In 2004 they changed to the new collapsible goal posts so this would have had to be from an earlier time (if it's even legit).

I feel IPTAY or some other Clemson affiliate should have offered this over Fanatics. Now we have to pay a middle man. I wasn't too happy over some of the items I purchased from Fanatics and felt they price gouged on about half of the N.C. merchandise to take advantage of our enthusiasm.( I understand that's free enterprise )
