Fans of the Commodores rushed the field and carried off the goalposts after their first victory over the Crimson Tide since 1984.
In a spectacle befitting a historic upset, Vanderbilt fans carried the match goalposts through the heart of Nashville, Tennessee, after defeating top-ranked Alabama 40-35 on Saturday night.
The unranked Commodores took down the top-ranked Crimson Tide at FirstBank Stadium, sparking scenes of exuberance across the city.
After rushing the field and tearing down the goalpost, fans managed to take it on a journey that stretched more than three miles down Nashville’s Broadway before giving it a watery farewell in the Cumberland River.
“The goalpost has left the stadium”, X user @billyderrick10 posted at 7:05 p.m., accompanied by a video of the crowd of fans, with one riding atop the posts. The video had amassed 1.4 million views by Sunday morning.
The party continued down Broadway, with the procession of Vanderbilt fans parading their trophy through the city.
