I think it's awesome, and so much fun!

It was one of my best memories of college. The last game ever at Pitt Stadium, we beat Notre Dame. The whole student section is preparing to rush the field, with these guys in the bright yellow stadium jackets reading "STAFF" looking scared shitless b/c there's like30 of them and thousands of us chanting "You can't stop us!" Haha. we rushed the field, those posts came down, and it was a blast. I remember turning around and there was a horse mounted cop right behind me.

The next year, we moved into 3 Rivers Stadium. We shut out Penn State (our most hated rival ) 12-0 and it was the last scheduled meeting between them. I almost got crushed while we were trying to rush the field, but the cops had guns and a "very active" prescence- anyone who stepped on the field got arrested.

They're stepping up security at this weekends game against West Virginia. The game doesn't necessarily mean THAT much to Pitt, but it will determine which team goes to the Gator Bowl.

They can't even put decent sod in at Heinz Field (where we play now)- has anyone seen a Steelers game lately? So i think the least of their concerns should be some stupid goalposts.

Some schools, especially urban schools like mine, are always complaining about school spirit. Well if we can't do anything fun like this, what are we supposed to do? It's bad enough that they moved our stadium off campus- yes it was a piece of crap, but it had a great college feel and atmosphere, was right on campus- now we have to take stupid buses down there and it takes up so much of your day.

I guess the whole no celebration thing is just following the rest of the overly-PC trend of the world.
