This was written in 2003 fwiw, so add 2009 VT to the list.

I was at the intersection outside of Grant Field on 11/3/90 post-UVA and we burned those öööööööööööös!!!

Great. Another look at me thread, old man edition.

Did they get torn down after Auburn? I'm pretty sure they did
Cause they almost hit the Auburn band or something

Yep. IIRC watching from my perch in Upper East, that was after stadium remodel. I remember folks carrying them up and throwing them over the fences by the Wardlaw building. Auburn's band was in the south-east corner of the stadium.

I thought 96 UVA? I remember the students carrying the post down to the Campanile... one guy brought a portable circular saw and started cutting the pole into pieces for ppl to take. Good times.

2003 Auburn.

I was there, John Paul Foschi hitched a ride on my rear bumper after the game, back when I could still drive

Don’t think that’s correct. I never see them automatically go down.

They aren't automatic. They're just hinged. You'll see staff lower them at the end of the game with polls.

Sad, another youngster who can't get his head around how fun this program used to be.

Yeah that's what I meant. Poor word choice on my end.

The auburn tear down happened right in front of me. I wanted to hop that rail in uniform so bad.
