‘This Guy Is the Goat’: NFL World Laughs at LSU’s Attempt to Ensure No One Takes Down the Goalposts After They Beat Alabama in OT Thriller

The excitement of the fans saw no bounds during Saturday’s nail-biting thriller between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the LSU Tigers. The game stretched into overtime, with the Tigers quarterback Jaylen Daniels perfectly executing a two-point conversion. Although the Louisiana fans marched onto the field, they couldn’t get the opportunity to take down the goalposts as a big hindrance was guarding the area.

This is the second time the LSU fans barged into the playing area. Indeed, the game was so close that no one could have held back their seats. Daniels along with head coach Brian Kelly dared to take the risk, slaying their counterparts 32-31 in the overtime, handing over Alabama their second loss of the season.

As soon as Mason Taylor connected for the pass from the quarterback, LSU fans stormed into the playing field. Even if any of them had intentions to dissemble the Uprights as Tennessee Volunteers did after winning against Alabama, they couldn’t have got the opportunity. Because a wide and big security guard was controlling the area standing next to the crossbar.

A photo was soon clicked by one of the fans and shared on social media. It took no time for this snap to spread like wildfire, garnering several reactions from the netizens.

Last time, the LSU fans lost control during their matchup against Ole Miss sealing a huge 45-20 win. As a result, the school got slapped with a hefty $250,000 fine.

Fans went crazy watching the guard after LSU and Alabama’s game

Although LSU bagged a great win, netizens found the security guard securing the Uprights more entertaining. The pic was taking rounds on the internet, garnering plenty of reactions. One of the fans called him a ‘Goat’ and shared a pic alongside the guard.

However, few others were pretty confident about their abilities.

Meanwhile, others mocked his physique.

Well, as of now, there hasn’t been any announcement regarding the penalty and fines to be paid. Anyway, the collected money will eventually get deposited into the SEC Post-Graduate Scholarship Fund.
