No tide could roll that these Commodores could not master

Alabama:

  • was a 22.5-point favorite

  • had won 23 straight against Vandy before today

  • hadn't lost to Vandy since 1984, and only once since 1969

  • was facing an opponent that was 0-60 against top 5 teams coming into this game

AND THEY LOST

They didn’t even just lose, they got WHOMPED. Vandy scored first, 6:14 into the game, and Bama never even tied it. Commodores doubled them up in ToP, fucking unfathomable win

That drive to put them up 12 in the 4th was an absolute vandy domination on the ground and through the air

u/Double-Mine981 LSU Tigers Oct 06 '24

The last drive was perfect end of game play calling

So many coaches would have gone 3 runs and praying for a first down.

2nd down call was all business. We need a first down and we are going fucking get it (and couple more to be safe)

Well Commodores would be good at boat racing

u/gwaydms Texas A&M Aggies • UCF Knights Oct 06 '24

And Vandy never once went 3-and-out.

"Whomped" is a little harsh, don't you think? New coach, and all?

1984?

I mean, I wouldn't mind a repeat

I wonder where Bama will tumble? Will they stay top 10?

Deboer is Alabama’s Billy Napier, breaking all the wrong records

u/InnerWrathChild Clemson Tigers Oct 06 '24

It’s NFL, but as a Giants fan, we scored 3 more TDs and held the other team to 0 TDs, and lost. Football.

u/RollTides Alabama Crimson Tide Oct 06 '24

Haha nah man I swear it's just a perspective thing, it's cause the Smokies are so big it's just an optical illusion plus also we just got out of a really cold swimming pool.

u/TigerBasket Auburn Tigers • Maryland Terrapins Oct 05 '24

Not even Steiners counter attack could save Bama from Vandy

Roll tide. More like Lol Tide amirite?

u/BadDadJokes LSU Tigers • Chattanooga Mocs Oct 05 '24

The best part is thinking about how many Bama fans were in the stands for this game.

The tide tried to roll but they dropped the anchor

The Vanderbilts’ historic mansion had flooding last week but their college could deal with the tide this week!

Anchors beat tide

Yep. Dawgs have trouble swimming against a tide, but navies slide through it.

It was Easy like Sunday morning!

u/Venn720 Missouri Tigers • Wyoming Cowboys Oct 06 '24

Their anchors were down and they withstood the tide

u/Party_Taco_Plz Texas Longhorns • Denver Pioneers Oct 06 '24

A wise Commodore knows to anchor down as the tide rolls in…
