Thanks, all!

It started because in the mid 80’s the NCAA mandated everyone have a T-style goalpost rather than the H-style. So in response LSU cut the crossbar on the H-style goalpost and hung it in the entrance tunnel so the team would still run under it. The NCAA reversed this ruling a few years later but LSU kept the old crossbar in place.
