What gets thrown in must get pulled out.

At least that’s what campus services thought about the goal post, road signs and dumpster that were thrown into Lake LaVerne after the Cyclone Homecoming victory against Baylor on Saturday.

“For our part, it wasn’t really a big deal,” said Dennis Erickson, manager of campus services.

He said the clean-up crew had to work for about an hour Monday to clean the debris from the water.

Erickson said they had to use special equipment to pull the two-wheel trash trailer that had been dragged from the Memorial Union out of the water.

There was “nothing we couldn’t just pull out and get back to where it belonged,” he said.

He said they also found street barricades, stop signs and some pieces of wood in the water.

However, there were no traces of a swan-crossing sign or a street light, which were said to have been tossed into the lake with the other items.

The most expensive item in the lake, the goal post, had already been fished out before Erickson’s crew arrived on Monday, he said.

Richard Doyle, systems control technician for the athletic department, said someone had retrieved it and was trying to cut it up before the athletic department rescued it.

“We’ve got parts of it; they damaged parts of it,” he said.

Doyle said he has not yet looked into the cost of repairing the goal post and he does not know how much needs to be replaced, although the department has some spare parts.

“We’ve got about everything I think we’ll need to fix it,” Doyle said.
