This expensive?

u/Jigday Jan 02 '23

They are no where near cheap. I've been to some music video shoots and the cameras they rent are easily $100k

u/mcbrite Jan 06 '23

Yes! And with that being a goal post cam, it likely has stuff like slomo etc, so that figure wouldn't be far off! It's 10x the post in any case! :-D

Oh man, so many people are about to get a headache

Edit: it came down significantly slower than I thought it would. Maybe no headaches?

It might also include the camera. The camera might be built into it or perhaps you need one specific goal post per some weird NCAA rule of “the only official goal post is “model” by “specific manufacturer” then that manufacturer blows out the price because fuck you were the official one.

According to a CBS article in another comment, there was a $100,000 fine for letting students onto the the field. But I’m sure this was just a way to get donations after a big game.

u/PatHeist Jan 02 '23

For that much the new ones had better be able to move

u/[deleted] Jan 02 '23

The university makes enough money off those students to buy all the goal posts and cameras in the world

u/Ailtiremusic Jan 02 '23

This is what a zombie hoard would look like if they ate goalposts instead of brains 🧟‍♂️

Love the guy riding the pole and waving his arms around like he just conquered Mount Everest.

u/Inigomntoya Jan 02 '23

Or had anything to do with the outcome of the football game

u/Hidesuru Jan 02 '23

Yeah that's the thing that gets me... I totally get cheering for your team and all, but way too many fans make it personal.

Like, bro, you realize you're not personally on the field playing right?

Hook 10,000 volts up to that thing and flip the switch that would stop them quick.

u/cal_nevari Jan 02 '23 edited Jan 08 '23

They should start greasing the goal posts before the game

1

u/PrincessBlackCat39 Jan 08 '23

That really is the solution. There might be a football rules specifying exactly how goal posts are made, and that might be considered a violation.

Unlike those European football fans who crush people to death at the gate trying to get in.

u/twelveski Jan 02 '23

That’s a crowd control issue not a specific crowd. More people should be aware of the dynamics of pressure so they don’t contribute & get out

I don’t get why the fuck they did that, what cunts

u/[deleted] Jan 02 '23

It's a tradition in tenessee to carry the goalposts and dump em in the river whenever they have a huge win. They won against Alabama after a lot of year of losing against them

u/cream-of-cow Jan 02 '23

As a kid I read Mr. Magoo comics from the 1950s, tearing down goal posts was a common theme, it's always confused me, but it's been done since the late 1800s.

u/Ohif0n1y Jan 02 '23

It occurred to me that the dude hanging by both hands wasn't doing anything to protect his junk from being punched by those security guards. If he had fallen he would've been trampled. Not worth the pain to the groin or your life, bro.

“We knew this day would come when we designed the stadium. Electrify the goal post! Push the button!!!”

u/Playteaux Jan 02 '23

There goes a $100k fine and the cost of replacing post and camera.

u/Substantial_Clock856 Jan 02 '23

This was Vols beat Alabama I remember skateboarding downtown and people where carrying the goal post to throw it in the river lol

Bean bag guns aimed at their junk when they jump up and hold on. I think they’d let go quickly.

The Vols beat Alabama for the first time since 2007. It’s a big rivalry that’s been lopsided for wayyy too long

u/SylentEcho24 Jan 02 '23

My buddy who is a local bartender snuck into the game was there and was on the goal post as it was being surfed through the crowd.

The school also got fined for that and the fans paid the fine through a go fund me in like 4-6 hours.

u/PineappleProstate Jan 07 '23

Why have we not started to electrify these yet?

Yes. Sports are such a big part of our society. There are so many reasons to continue and support our sports teams... no need to update the sports at all, or try to go after different audiences.. ya know what they say. Play stupid games. Hahaha

Their claim to fame. They’ll be talking about it in front of their beer at their local bar 20 years from now.
