摘要

Every autumn some things are certain to happen. Not only the changing of the leaves, shorter days and cool winds, but tailgate parties, marching bands and storied rivalries--the certainties of college football. Almost as certain is the prospect thatraucous fans will charge football fields throughout the land as part of that questionable tradition of "tearing down" the goal posts. What is becoming less certain is that they will actually succeed. Merchants Environmental Industries (MEI), a Chicago-based engineering and contracting firm, has spent the last decade designing goal posts to withstand the onslaught of overzealous attackers. "We got into [the goal post business] a little over 10 years ago," said Bob Allen, vice president of MEI. "We wereasked to get involved when Northwestern University was losing almost a goal post per week. They had lost a lot of games and the students had no reason to be happy, so they made themselves happy by tearing the goal posts down. The university asked us to design something that would be resistant to these weekly tear downs."
