Four SMU students succeed in tearing down the South goal
post at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas on September 25, 2004.
After police deterred students from tearing down the north goal post,
they turned around and proceeded to the slightly guarded South goal post.
The victory marked an end to the Mustang's 15-game losing
streak.
A member of the CSC Event Staff stands guard at Gerald J.
Ford Stadium in Dallas on September 25, 2004. CSC was among
5 different groups, including 4 Police municipalities, that tried to
prevent students from rushing the field after SMU beat San Jose
State, ending the 15 game losing streak.
Paramedics assist SMU student Garrett W. Haake, 19. He was
injured while fans pulled down the goalpost after SMU's win.
According to reports, his
skull was fractured, but he has no
brain damage. David Haake, Garrett’s father, said his son is
still in
intensive care. “He’s improving, and he’s looking forward
to coming back to school. He will be fine in time,†he said.
Jim Caswell, the vice president of student affairs, said he and
the rest of the university continue to be concerned about
Haake’s health and well-being.
