Vanderbilt fans celebrate Alabama upset on social media; social media follows trek to Nashville

Vanderbilt upset No.1 Alabama 40-35 on Saturday to secure its victory and continue its win streak over Alabama. As expected, fans at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville went wild to commemorate their team’s historic win against one of the top five teams, not only storming the field in celebration but bringing down goal posts as a memento and carrying them through to Broadway two miles away? Absolutely they did. Adrenaline can do wonders to reinvigorate fans after overthrowing one of college football’s longstanding powers, while former Alabama coach Nick Saban may have further invigorated those fans by dismissing Vanderbilt as being tough for SEC teams to play against. “Vanderbilt is probably one of the easiest places in the SEC for us to play at,” Saban recently declared on The Pat McAfee Show. He went on to add: “That is no disrespect; that is simply factual; they did it and what a night it was in Nashville!” Vanderbilt fans celebrated Vanderbilt football’s biggest ever win by tearing down goalposts at their own stadium during an emotional demonstration after celebrating. Social media users wondered when was the last time this happened in Nashville: when Vandy fans stormed onto the field to tear them down (@VandyFootball fans or anyone in Nashville: when was last time Vandy fans stormed onto field to tear goalposts down?- Oscar Combs @wildcatnews) October 6, 2024And this happened again with brand new goalposts! Since 1964, Vandy has not replaced their goalposts and fans have probably not prepared the staff to handle such an unforeseeable scenario as fans tore down goal posts without permission – perhaps for reasons related to Vandy not needing as much security around its goalposts as other college football schools have experienced it before– Sean Johnson (@SeanIn60Seconds), October 6, 2024All those buzz killntons telling vandy they should act like it happened….they hadn’t!?!? Let them get crazy & carry goal posts downtown or do calculus and differential equations or whatever vandy people like doing for fun #Vanderbilt #Bama — Alice (@als_131) October 6 2024Initially, Vanderbilt fans appeared tentative about what action would take place next. While not immediately storming onto the field or going for goalposts immediately; that is understandable since Vanderbilt fans had yet to experience something this exciting. Some uncertainty was understandable before let sheer ecstasy kick in.
