Oklahoma State fans move goalposts to Theta Pond after beating Oregon
Summary

Oklahoma State fans removed the goalposts from Boone Pickens Stadium following the team's 39-31 victory over Oregon on September 12, 2026. The crowd transported the equipment from the field to a nearby body of water known as Theta Pond, a trek estimated at 14 minutes. University president Jim Hess and Oklahoma State athletics acknowledged the incident on social media, with the university account sharing footage of the process. While the administration does not officially condone the removal of stadium property, they did not intervene to prevent the fans from moving the structures. The university now must install new goalposts before the next home game against Murray State on September 19, 2026. This victory marks the first major win for the program under Eric Morris.
