The higher they are, the more the wind will sway them.

Good point.

I was thinking if you could substantially reduce the diameter of the posts, you might buy an extra six inches room between them. :biggrin:

The downside would be they would be a little harder for the kicker to see.

Imo, not enough to even consider the cost and effort of pulling up every one of the goal posts in every one of the football fields in and around the college campuses across the country.

Perhaps they could just add an extension on each side to the existing posts rather than uprooting and replacing them.

Great point Chukker & could see that as an option..

They could even make the extensions perforated like a whiffle ball to overcome the problem with the wind. :biggrin:

TideMan09 · May 4, 2014

Yup..Nice..I could see that happen & wouldn't be hard at all to design it as well..

There's always more than one way to skin a cat.

Perforated goal post height extensions...maybe I ought to file for a patent and market the things. If they caught on I'd be set...

TideMan09 · May 4, 2014

And make it retractable that can be put into place at the push of a button..

make it an "H" shape that might work.

Kind of like a periscope on a submarine...brilliant...

I've always thought that goal posts in domes should go up to the roof.

You are on to something...they could hang them from the ceiling and do away with the single post that usually holds them up...one less thing for the players to run into.

Well, I was thinking they'd connect them to the ground and then to the roof. Hanging them is an idea but they might sway. Not sure if I've ever seen someone run into a goal post. Bet it happened a lot back when they were on the goal line.

I'm in favor of just pulling the goal posts up and throwing them in a recycle bin. No FG football is next logical evolutionary step in our awesome game.

TideMan09 · May 4, 2014

Yup..And that would solve the problem for all the "smart alecks" who doesn't wanna see it happen.. They would only have to see it during FG's attempts..LOL

I was just going to post the exact same thing. Apparently none of the rules committee has ever taken a physics class.

I think it extends well beyond physics classes, but I digress, as usual.

I like the idea. The additional length would increase the number of Darwin award candidates after idiot fans tear down a goal post following a big victory. :biggrin:

CrimsonDollar · May 6, 2014

There was a game at Bryant-Denny last year (can't remember which one) where the overhead camera operator got one of the suspension cables hooked on the left upright of the north end-zone field goal posts. It was easy to spot because the post was bent like a banana. Looked for a moment like it was going to pull the whole thing over.

I would imagine that there would be increased risk of this with higher posts.
