[@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.

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.

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. Being a razorback fan felt like being a cleveland browns fan. We lost every major game, after game, after game. Until Saturday. The year our glorious Petrino returns, we beat a number 4 team.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

Everybody on the Vanderbilt team got that hawk tuah that night

Alabama has been riding on their high horse ever since their win against Georgia and Vanderbilt absolutely took advantage of that

[@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.

[@jaybee946]

Not even close to the biggest upset ever. Vanderbilt has a decent team, were at home and were only 23 point underdogs. In 2007 #1 USC was a 41 point favorite over Stanford and playing at USC with a 35-game home winning streak when Stanford won. And there's a bunch of other 35+ point underdogs that were much bigger upsets than this.

[@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 .

[@GetTalor]

Can’t believe Alabama fans thought Deboer was just gonna continue doing what Saban did, this loss is a clear representation of the culture change, no discipline! Vanderbilt flat out looked like the better team

[@SW.Productions]

Keep that same energy when Bama bounces back and makes the playoff

APP state had the biggest upset, at the time APP state was an FCS team that beat a power house

[@jimmyhall4453]

Must not have ever seen the odds behind the 1980 US hockey team.. Definitely the biggest underdog to ever win a game against USSR. That Bama coach inherited a bunch of 5 & 4 star players. If they don’t win a Natty he will definitely be on the hot seat..They are already trying to talk to other candidates behind the scenes

[@Endzone-production]

Imo Alabama didnt worry about anybody other than georgia and only prepared for georgia

[@pitcher0319]

This was a huge upset and definitely the worst bama loss in 15+ years but nowhere near the worst loss in cfb history… vandy is at least a power 4 team with a decent record and close to being ranked. Notre dame’s loss to NIU, auburn to NM st, and countless other games are a lot worse than losing as 22 point road favorites in a conference game

[@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.

[@Commander_Bern]

Man Bama got manhandled. It wasn't as close as the score indicates. Vandy dominated in every aspect of the game

[@mam162]

On paper, Bama should have steamrolled Vandy. But games are never played on paper, and you simply can't overlook the human element. The Tide players clearly took this game for granted, which caused them to go through the motions rather than really focus and put forth effort. The Dores, on the other hand, put everything they had into the game. That's how upsets of all kinds happen.
