They put vaseline on the goalposts for the remainder of that 2000 season. They came down for UT and Alabama that year. They haven't come down since and I doubt they will be coming down anytime soon. LSU fans expect their team to win every game at Tiger Stadium now.

I don't think Alabama has ever torn down the goal posts, at least not in the modern era of football, and certainly not in my lifetime. The Alabama fans I know don't think there is any team so great that they deserve that "honor"....

Wonder if LSU's will be pulled down when they beat Saban at home this year ?
Why on Earth would LSU fans want to tear down the goal post for beating Alabama ?
Sure, ending the losing streak in 2000 was a big deal,but LSU has now beaten Alabama at home in the last 25 years as many times as Alabama has beaten LSU at home in the last 25 years. Beating Alabama at home as become expected. As for the other times the goal posts have come down,there should be some asterik by the 1982 Florida State (oranges) game. I can assure you as many students were on the field that night as they were for Florida in 1997 and Tennessee and Alabama in 2000. Those were the original H shaped goal posts that would have taken dynamite to go down.

Auburn 3
GT 17
We rushed the field, and it was one of the most amazing things I have experienced.
But it shows that you didn't expect the win. Which in that case was big b/c Aub was supposed to be great and GT is usually a fringe top 25 team.
But a team like LSU, should expect to win (or at least be in) every game they play, so storming the field is bad form

I do wish Auburn and Ga. Tech still played every year....that was a great and historic series...

What about in 10 years when you finally beat LSU after what... 16 straight arse whoopings, will you tear them down then?

haha, sorry didn't mean to bring up bad losses, but in my 6 football seasons since i started at GT there hasn't been much to celebrate on the football field...

Steve--
If I could have only had a camera and microphone last year when they beat us in Tuscaloosa.......I saw 90% of them celebrate like they had just won the Super Bowl or Ed McMahon had just showed up at their door.
(ps.......it's all about beating Saban in Tiger Stadium)
------------------------------------------------
Steve, you post quite well here, but don't kid yourself. You're looking bad here.
As lucky as Bama was in that game, with every imaginable break going Bama's way for 3.5 quarters, you bet LSU fans were excited at the end of the Bama game.
Seeing that Bama almost pulled an upset out after
3 interceptions, 2 putting Bama well into LSU's red zone and a punt return for a TD, sure LSU fans were going nuts.
The truth is, without the Flynn turnovers and the punt return, LSU would have totally blown Bama out. The matchups, the stats, everything points to it happening again this year. If anything, the matchups will be worse for Bama this year, even with LSU losing RP.
The 2007 Bama LSU was an emotional game. That's it- the emotion will always be there when Saban steps on a field against LSU.
Sure, Saban returns. Sure it will be emotional, like when Paul Dietzel showed up in the 60s, and played LSU.
So don't expect the charity this year that you got last year. While Saban has inproved your team, most LSU fans do in fact expect LSU to destroy Bama. It's the disparity of the two programs that currently causes it, with or without Saban.
It may be why Saban never beats LSU, as long as he coaches at Bama, or anywhere else.
Would LSU storm the field beating what is now (and has been for nearly 25 years) a middle of the pack SEC school?
Get real.
We did storm the field when we were loseres....Like when we beat Saban in the Indy Bowl, or when we beat UF in 1997 or UT in 2000.
That was a long time ago.
We didn't storm the field against UF, nor Ohio State. Nor when we won the SEC Title or the National Championship in 2003.
A better analogy: UF fans may never storm the field again. I don't think LSU fans will either. And for all the boys who continue to await LSU to fall, please again review UF since 1990. What is (still) happening to LSU now is exactly what happened with UF in 1990s. Now UF and LSU, and to a lesser extent, UGA and Auburn, are the standards of the SEC.
It won't happen.
The talent, facilties, and the fame are all there now. Just like LSU's 2008 recruiting class that may end up #1 this year.
LSU expects to win championships every year. LSU has won 2 NCs, 3 SEC titles, have had 4 top 5 finishes, and even without RP is considered a Top 10 team.
Like UF in the 1990s, LSU is now the standard. You can toss in UGA and Auburn this decade, and UT has made a respectable showing.
Bama is nowhere on this list, nor have they been much of a factor over the last 20 years, save for
2000 and your magical 1992 season. Which is exactly why Bama has a better chance of storming a field than LSU, quite simply because the roles have been reversed for nearly a generation now.
LSU will probably be sitting the Top 10 yet again when we play this year. And once again, Bama will be somewhere lurking just outside the Top 25.
And next year, as stated several times, LSU may be the preseason #1 team. And once again next year, Bama will be fighting for respect.
And if a middle pack team like Bama upsets us in 2009, Like Kentucky did in 2007, I would expect the Bama fans, some of the younger ones riddled with nearly a decade long degree of almost complete failure against the likes of LSU (7 out of 8) and Auburn, (6 straight) to storm the field.
Not that it's going to happen anytime soon.

Steve with one more thing:
When did this thread about storming the field and tearing down the gold posts become a debate on Miles vs Saban on recruiting ?
--------------
Again a silly point already proven. Miles is better.
We'll take the first three classes Saban has had and match them to Miles'last three, and once again, per that wonderful "star ranking, Miles will be ahead.
We'll match Saban's BEST three classes, and you'll once again see Miles have the higher ranking.
We'll take Saban's best three class in his history of recruiting, and yopu'll again see Miles is better.
We can even take ALL Miles classes after 2009, average them all out (over 110 players), and your not going to like what you see--
that Miles' AVERAGE over 5 years
is as good, and perhaps better, than Saban's ONE (1) best class...EVER.
Again it's why we're up here and you're down there.
No, we have no reason to rush the field on Bama.

I was at that game and students climbed up onto the crossbars and were trying their hardest to take the goalpost by the student section down. The police waded into the crowd by the goalpost with MACE and batons and that was the end of that. I think they set up a perimeter around the goalpost.
Too bad we couldn't bring those police to Starkville.

2002 my freshman year against Florida and Grossman when they were ranked 6th in the nation. Bittersweet considering I got out of jail the morning of for a DUI and didn't even have time to take a shower but just enough to change clothes and make it in a minute before kickoff. After the game my dad was ecstatic and tossed me a beer and said as long as you aren't driving.

I was one of the drun_, er, well-lubricated students on the field for the "orange" game. Didn't get close enough to the goalposts to test either Mace or the structure.
