How Do I Make This Football Stand Up

So I tried PM'ing the owner, and no response. Her profile shows she's not a frequent poster, so she may not check CC often (how is that possible 
)
Here is her photo that I want to do. My question is how do I get the football to stand up?

I would screw a Flang (i think thats what they are called) to my board and then take clean PVC pipe and screw it into the flang that is attached to the board. Core the cake or RKT to go over the PVC pipe and shape from there. If that makes sense!
Hopefully someone else may know what Im talking about and can futher explain!!!
well, did anyone else notice that 3/4 of the way down on the football there is a "line" in the fondant, or a ripple of sorts. I'm wondering if the very bottom portion of that football isn't carved from styrofoam as the base, then cakes stacked on top and carved. Would wind up being not any different than a topsy turvy cake wouldn't you think? Only wider on the bottom instead of on top?
I can't imagine the entire thing is 100% cake.
