The postgame party turned into a moment of panic.
Seconds after Colorado sealed its 24–17 win over Iowa State, the black-and-gold wave poured over the walls and down the steps of Folsom Field. Amid the celebration, the goalposts were lowered, but one fan still managed to get caught underneath.

The screenshots may have looked far worse than what actually took place. Within hours, posts and comments confirmed the fan was okay, some even suggesting he may have pinned himself deliberately in the chaos. Still, it was a jarring sight in what should have been a moment of pure joy. The collapsing post, the surge of bodies, and the confusion that followed could have easily turned dangerous.

It’s worth noting that the head coach did not know about the fan incident at the time of his postgame remarks. Speaking with his usual mix of humor and disbelief, Sanders grinned as he asked reporters:
“What you gonna do with a field goal [post] when you tear it down anyway? Put it in your front yard or your frat house?”

The coach also reacted to the expected $50,000 fine for the field-storming, turning it into another trademark moment.
“We had $50,000 right there,” he said. “We can chip in. Before you get in the car, some gas, you got to chip in…just chip in.”
It was classic Prime, equal parts leadership and levity. But even he would agree, there has to be a balance of the passion that makes college football special, and the safety that keeps the chaos at least somewhat controlled.
