Vanderbilt Commodores have taken their massive 40-35 victory over Alabama to a whole new level, hosting an audacious auction to commemorate their first win against the Tide since 1984! In a move that’s sure to keep Alabama reeling, Clark Lea’s team is selling off keepsakes from the historic night, leaving Tide fans everywhere crying foul. And it’s not just any auction—this event flaunts goalposts, game helmets, and balls from their first-ever win over a top-5 team, a shocking upset ending a 60-game losing streak to the college football giants.
The prices for these relics? Sky-high. Commodores fans snapped up two goalposts—one at a whopping $1,005 and the other at $4,035. And that’s not all. A game helmet sold for $7,290, while pylons are going for up to $1,000 each. Even the game balls are priced steep, starting at $2,675. Lea’s squad might have to pay a $100,000 fine for fans storming the field in the post-game frenzy, but these sky-high auction prices are taking care of that with no trouble!
For Alabama fans, the sting of this loss cuts deep. The Tide faithful were already reeling from recent setbacks, but losing to an underdog like Vanderbilt was unthinkable. On The Paul Finebaum Show, fans unleashed their fury, with one anonymous caller laying into Coach DeBoer: “Paul, I’m in sports hell, brother. Alabama doesn’t lose to Vandy! That’s friggin’ pathetic, Coach DeBoer.” The caller even hinted at a relationship beyond repair, fuming, “The honeymoon’s not only over, but we need serious marriage counseling, dude.”
In a bizarre twist, some Tide fans are even lashing out at DeBoer’s wardrobe. “He’s on the sideline in a freaking T-shirt while we’re getting clobbered out there,” an enraged fan ranted. “Have some pride! This game means something to us.” For DeBoer, the pressure is on to not only fix his relationship with the Alabama fan base but to reclaim some serious respect.
Meanwhile, the Vanderbilt community is reveling in every bit of it, turning a rare win into a cash machine.
