Student dies after goal post pulled down in Morris, Minn.

MORRIS, Minn. (AP)  A memorial service will be held this week for a University of Minnesota-Morris student who died after football players and fans exhilarated by a double-overtime homecoming win pulled down a goal post.

Richard Thomas Rose, 20, a junior from Benton City, Wash., who played on the men's basketball team, was pronounced dead at a hospital Saturday after attempts to revive him on the field failed, school officials said. No one else was hurt. (Related audio: KMRS announcer Paul Schwarz about the on-field scene)

Results of a coroner's investigation to determine the exact cause of death are expected Monday, but Chancellor Sam Schuman said the presumption was that Rose was hit by the goal post. (More audio: Body was "lifeless" under goal post)

Patrick Van Zandt, a junior from St. Paul, said he was standing at the front of the stadium when he saw a Morris player grab a sledge hammer from under the bench and uniformed team members run to the goal post.

"It started out with a few standing or hanging on it, then a big crowd surrounding it. They rocked it up and down and the metal started to bend, until the point it snapped," Van Zandt told The Associated Press.

"The crowd cheered. I was looking and then saw someone on the ground with the pole laying on top of them," he said.

Chancellor Samuel Schuman, who also was at the game, said the majority of those involved in pulling down the goal post were fans.

"There may have been a couple of members of the team, but majority were fans. It was not the team," Schuman said.

Van Zandt said it took several people to lift the goal post off Rose.

"They did CPR for at least 10 minutes, then put him on the stretcher and put him in the ambulance," he said.

Morris had just defeated Crown College 34-28 in double overtime and the stands were full, with about 1,000 fans watching the last football game at Cougar Field. The Cougars move to a new stadium next season.

"A lot of us are still dealing with the suddenness of that shift from excited happiness to shock and horror," Schuman said.

"It was maybe the most exciting game we've had on that field in my memory," said Athletic Director Mark Fohl. "It was very exciting and then, very quiet."

Schuman said there would be a memorial service on campus early in the week, but the day and time hadn't been set Sunday night. The school also will offer counseling to students, staff and faculty.

Minnesota-Morris is a public liberal arts school of about 1,700 students in west-central Minnesota, about 135 miles northwest of Minneapolis.

Its so nice that you can speak for EVERYONE that wants to jump on the field. What happens when you are wrong and someone dies?

Oh, I guess the powers that be dont want to find out....smart folks.

I can't believe you people are still defending the tactics used to keep people off the field.

Every single week we see more major colleges that rush the field after big wins. Every week you try and tell us it's "not a part of college football." You sound like the Bush Administration.

Jihad against the TSA!  Allah Akbar!

Actually, they were going straight for them about 4 years ago when we upset NCAA football power Ill state.  Yeah that's right Ill St.  Wow!

Only reason it didn't happen, the cops surrounded the goal posts.  Otherwise they were coming down.........for beating 1-AA Ill St.14-13
