[@andrewe165]

yep wasn’t a fluke win as an alabama fan, they showed up to play and we didn’t

[@joshuajacobs2152]

I would say it was a fluke win in that weird turnovers penalties killing off drives and giving them 21 points due to penalties extending drives and 4th down. Bama out yards had 9.9 yards per play and they had like 5.5 per play them and kept it close dispite only having the ball less than 25% of the game. A non fluke would be a blowout or more just them not having drives happen due to opportunistic turnovers, peanektirs, snd the punt pinned in the 5 yard line which gave them the ball at the 50 yard line. Notredame Illinois on paper was less of a fluke. Since time of possession was even, no turnover monster, and less yards per play. Vanderbilt this year also has a better offense tho.

[@chadperling2766]

THE REAL REASON FOR VANDY'S SUCESS - The New Mexico State connection started with two coaches, Jerry Kill and Tim Beck. Kill is "chief consultant to the head coach and senior offensive advisor" and Beck is the offensive coordinator. Those two will make a difference to the Commodores for years to come. Check out Kills resume, he's one of those "turn-around coaches". Kill & Beck are the reason QB Pavia and tight end Eli Stowers came to Vandy. Stowers had six catches for 113 yards, 83 of which came after the catch. A total of five players transferred from NMSU to Vandy.

⁠ That’s a great feeling!

[@barrydingall]

This Bama team lacks discipline, and it’s been obvious all season. Imagine Saban’s reaction if his defense allowed 3 first downs off of stupid penalties in a single drive. Imagine what he would say if his team was celebrating a TD while they’re still trailing to VANDERBILT. Or what he would do to Malachi Moore for kicking the ball away when Vanderbilt went into victory formation. Being #1 puts a target on your back, but they played like they’ve never been under that pressure before. They didn’t play like Bama last night and they deserved what happened. Hopefully this is a wake up call for the whole program.

Hopefully that program doesn't make it back to the National Championship for 40 years. That fanbase is the worst in college football, they need some losses because they've been insufferable for 15 years.

Our coach, the legendary Petrino, got caught with his assistant on a motorcycle. I’ll remember that day for the rest of my life. While my friends and I were laughing and joking saying “nice”, he got sacked. In that moment, we had no idea what it would mean for razorback football. Arkansas sucked, and kept sucking.

[@rphntw1n]

Nah

[@evanwilliams8627]

To be the biggest upset in history I think you would need to consider it being an unranked team over the number 1 team. That’s important. App State over Michigan was #1 (FCS) App State vs. #5 (FBS) Michigan. App State had just won 2 consecutive FCS National Championships the two previous years. Now that being said, it is still FCS over FBS so the “one of the biggest upsets” title still sticks for that game. Michigan was defeated at the last second on a field goal block. Now this Bama vs Vanderbilt upset is bigger (IMO) because you’ve got a Bama team who has just defeated #2 UGA (albeit in a very close game) and a Vanderbilt team that has lost to Georgia State 2 games ago. Vanderbilt comes out and completely outperforms the #1 team in the country. Bama never has a lead. Bama is getting pushed around on the lines of scrimmage. Vanderbilt doesn’t even have 25% of their crowd cheering for them at a home game. It’s all Bama fans. That’s why this game is being called the greatest upset of all time. Of course it’s subjective and not every one will agree, but that’s what does the label justice for me.

@@evanwilliams8627 I completely understand where you’re coming from and I get it, but here’s my rebuttal to it. This Vandy team is still much better than the ones of previous years. They’ve shown vast improvement. And now let’s go back to 2007 when Stanford beat USC. The Trojans were ranked #2 in the country and were playing a Stanford team that was considered arguably the worst Power 5 team the previous year and that year as well. Well Stanford won on the road despite USC being favored by 42 points. So that’s another example of what I would call a bigger upset

[@frankf684]

Washington went 4-8 that year not that big of an upset.

[@TheTurtlebot]

Not only did Saban say Vandy was the only easy place to play, he took off the red bama tie.

[@clarktrinst]

Well, it's about time! I've often thought that Vanderbilt was unworthy to be in the SEC, it's good to see that they proved they belong.

[@BigfistJP]

It was a big upset, but nowhere close to the biggest upset in football history. When Pete Carroll was coaching USC, and had great, great teams, they were once beaten by Stanford, who was a fifty point underdog. Years later, as a 35 point underdog, Stanford beat Oregon .

[@Sacto1654]

Biggest? That would be Appalachian State (then an FCS team!) beating Michigan at the "Big House" in 2007. That loss still reverberates through collage football even now.

[@frankf684]

How does it still reverberate?it has no lasting impact on the sport.

[@barryallen3225]

App State won the FCS championship that year. They were a good team.

[@Benjamberg]

Malachi Moore, gets blasted for throwing his mouth piece, kicking the football and shoving Pavia’s head down. Yet I don’t see anyone talking about the haymakers he landed on Alexander at 10:40

[@Supernova2464]

I think the best comparison for level of upset would be App State over Michigan, but a couple things that I think make this game more impressive is the situations surrounding the Michigan game. Mainly App State was coming off of back to back FCS National Championships, as well as it being week 1, upsets are way more common in the first couple weeks

[@edwardrizzorhands]

I always bet a quarter on the underdog. To say this least, this win paid off all other past underdog bets lol

[@HKmoney-Offical]

This was so strange that I’m not entire convinced Vandy wasn’t listening to Alabamas Helmet Comms to get an edge. I mean Vandy was accused of doing the same thing with the pitch Comms earlier this year in baseball and the SEC handled it behind the scenes.

[@cathiecretella3197]

I’ve been waiting for this video

[@reaperking2121]

As a proud Uconn Student I am glad that Vandy had this win. They were down here in the fucking Trenches with us but 2 years ago contending with us to be the worst D-1 team. Glad to see them rise to the top. Hopefully UConn figure it out soon as well.

[@gavindenton-cg5sd]

I stand in my house trapped by hurricane Helene and thank god got wifi to watch this history

[@wompa70]

This is not the year to overlook Vandy.

[@alexcuevas5633]

Something was up with them when they won against Virginia tech. I hope they become bowl eligible this season

[@AlexTafoya-m5j]

As a Bama fan I'm disappointed for last week's loss. Years ago Nick Also underappreciated Utah and We know how that ended. He didn't have kind words for Brock Purdy either. Clearly, Nick is a Hell of Motivator.

[@stevenshorten6184]

Huge win, but hardly the biggest upset.

[@dash4800]

Tbh i dont get how this was such a crazy upset. Based on vandys previous games i was confident enougj that it could happen to put this in multiple parlays.

[@KyleLeHeup]

Vanderbilt: "snap back to reality"

[@jmutz5216]

This was such an amazing video wtf

[@aegisofhonor]

ironically, before the days of Bear Bryant, Vandy actually had beaten Bama more often than lost. But once "The Bear" lead the The Tide, they dominated Vandy and never looked back.

[@LulReezky]

this up there but the 2012 superbowl brady vs eli will always be number one upset ever in sports right infront of cavs 1-3 comeback
