The goal post is getting presidential treatment and is being escorted by dozens of Vols fans throughout the town. It even took a dip in the Tennessee River.
The latest whereabouts of the goalpost are unknown, but, wherever it is, it's clearly the most prized possession in the state of Tennessee at the moment.
Someone also took the initiative to create a Tennesee goal post Twitter account.
