Someone is in trouble.
A DIII grounds crew in Virginia made a bit of a mistake ahead of Saturday’s game, knocking over the goal posts with a tractor. As a result, the game’s extra points, field goals, etc. had to be played on just one side of the field.
There was likely a lot of screaming that took place, but the raw video of the incident is objectively hilarious.

For what it’s worth, Hampden Sydney, the schools in question, was able to earn a win over Guilford 28-21 on Homecoming.
That has to make things slightly better, right?
