UPDATE | OSU football revelers set fires, tear down goal post

COLUMBUS (AP) — Fans took to the streets after Ohio State's football championship victory early today, yelling and screaming in delight, setting nearly 90 fires and in the case of a few, tearing down an Ohio Stadium goal post. A few injuries were reported.

Police made a handful of arrests after using tear gas and pepper spray to disperse crowds of Ohio State students and other fans following the Buckeyes' win.

Officers on foot, on horses and in cruisers patrolled the main drag through campus after midnight today, when revelers spilled out of bars near the campus to celebrate the university's 42-20 win over the University of Oregon in Dallas.

Thousands, chanting "Let us in!", converged on the Ohio State football stadium where police used tear gas to turn them away. Most headed back to the bar area, where cruisers lined the street and officers limited pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

Fans tore down a temporary goal post used for high school games on the south end of the Ohio Stadium field, said university spokesman Dan Hedman.
