American college football fans are renowned for taking celebrations to the next level and the Tennessee faithful shown why after their upset win over University of Alabama.
After their kicker nailed a wobbly 40m field goal to seal a 52-49 win, a sea of 100,000 orange-clad fans swarmed from the stands onto the field in scenes of utter pandemonium.
The victory was the Volunteers' over the third-ranked Crimson Tide powerhouse since 2006, snapping a 15-game losing streak against their rivals.
To mark the achievement, fans descended on one end of the field, overwhelmed security and began dismantling the goalposts.
Eventually, the posts crumbled under the weight of the masses and were carried off amid the bedlam.
The uprights were then taken out of the stadium, where they'll likely become the rallying point for a long night of festivities at Knoxville.
