They carried it 2.5 miles and threw it in the river off of downtown as well. I'm shocked nobody was hurt. When I was in college, our team won a big game and pulled down the goalpost and carried it through campus. One random girl who got caught up in the crowd was paralyzed when the group let it slip a bit and it struck her in the head. She was just trying to get back to her dorm. Didn't even go to the game.
edit: I did some searching, and I may have a couple of the details wrong (heard about it second or third hand originally), but the gist is the same. People don't realize how dangerous it is carrying around a 500 pound unbalanced load like that.

At their own school at least, there is a 100k fine for going on the field that goes to Bama.
