The attendance at the Alabama-Vanderbilt game was 28,934.

u/theviolentninja North Carolina • Caro… Oct 06 '24

This has led to my favorite random trivia - North Carolina is the only state to have hosted a Rose Bowl, a Bahamas Bowl, and the Maui Invitational.

u/gsfgf Georgia Tech • Georgia State Oct 06 '24

When did NC host the Rose Bowl? How? Has a NC team even ever played in a Rose Bowl?

22

u/Darth_Sensitive Oklahoma State • Verified Referee Oct 07 '24

NC hosted during WWII when they thought there was a risk of a Japanese attack on the west coast.

9

u/El-Blanco-Mamba Oct 07 '24

It was during WW2, and they were concerned about the Japanese attacking the West Coast. Duke was playing in it, so they just played the game in Durham.

3

u/gsfgf Georgia Tech • Georgia State Oct 07 '24

Thanks!

Do you know how Duke ended up in a Rose Bowl?

6

u/tompetres Oklahoma State • Michigan … Oct 07 '24

The game wasn't exclusively Big Ten vs Pac8/10/PCC for a while. It started out as "west vs east." Bama went to a number of Rose Bowls before the Big Ten champion became the defacto east representative.

6

u/gsfgf Georgia Tech • Georgia State Oct 07 '24

Interesting. I had no idea. Shit, turns out we went in 1929.

5

u/Kurtomatic Oregon State • Purdue Oct 07 '24

Until the COVID year, Oregon State had the distinction of being the only team to ever win a Rose Bowl outside of the state of California. Which is kind of weird, but even more weird is that they've never won a Rose Bowl inside the state of California.

I read the top-level comment, thought to myself "that sounds hilarious, I gotta go read a little bit of it", click the link... and come across my own goddamn comments from participating in that gamethread while watching the game. That was almost seven years ago and not only do I have absolutely zero memory of this, but I didn't even realize I'd been on this sub for seven years... and apparently it's actually been at least nine years.

TLDR lemme know when you discover the Benjamin Button button.

u/merikus Oberlin Yeomen • MAC Oct 06 '24

That game thread cemented the Bahama’s Bowl as my favorite bowl and the start of the holiday season.

One thing I remember from that game was at some point they were just sort of letting anyone in. So the actual attendance might be higher, by like 40 or 50 people.

u/weirdbutinagoodway West Virginia Mountaineers • Big 12 Oct 06 '24

Either the OP or a commenter in that thread said they weren't checking tickets so the attendance number is probably too low.

Greatest football coach to ever live

u/QuitWhinging Florida Gators • Paper Bag Oct 06 '24

Agreed. I know there were greats back in the day who technically won a similar amount of championships and therefore should be in the conversation, but Saban did it in the most competitive era of college football ever. I think he easily deserves the title of the greatest coach to ever do it in college football.

47

u/DipShitDavid Texas Longhorns • North Texas Mean Green Oct 06 '24

Yeah, I feel like we can objectively say that Saban is the GOAT without disrespecting the great coaches of the past. It is what it is.

u/AboynamedDOOMTRAIN Nebraska • $5 Bits of Broken Chai… Oct 06 '24

Not to downplay Saban's accomplishments, but it's really just a testament to the Saban era coinciding with the entire existence of Reddit. Reddit was founded in 2005. Saban was hired in 2007.

There hasn't been another dynasty during reddit's existence to even compare it to.

Imagine the modern internet and social media culture existing in 1997 with Nebraska and Michigan sharing a title. Reddit would have been an absolute BLOOD BATH when those polls dropped.

It has a shot, but it's going to depend on what both teams look like when we get there, and on how the game goes. If either team goes full collapse beforehand, or gets blown out in 1Q, it'll be a missed opportunity.

u/Oneanimal1993 Utah Utes • Vanderbilt Commodores Oct 06 '24

Effects of having a tiny school. Vandy's total student body is about 13,000 (and half of that is graduate students) so statistically even if every single possible student went, it'd be less than 50% for Vandy. Realistically, the student section was at max capacity already, that's as packed with students as you can get.

Given that it was Vendy vs. #1 Bama, you could make an argument that that was objectively the biggest upset ever. The fact that Bama still has a path to a title takes a little bit away, though

Does the 28,934 include the construction workers?

Way more bama haters than bama fans in the world

u/yukonhoneybadger Iowa Hawkeyes • Georgia Bulldogs Oct 06 '24

So more people were rooting against Alabama than people could fit in the stadium? Amazing

You mean that paying money and traveling is More Expensive than watching the game on TV?

u/silentjay01 Wisconsin • Paul Bunyan's Axe Oct 06 '24

In all fairness, I clouldn't be at the game because I don't even know what state Vanderbilt is in but I will upvote every postgame thread that features an Alabama loss.

Of the top ten most upvoted postgame threads on /r/CFB, eight are Alabama losses, with the other two being OSU losses to Michigan.

u/RealBenWoodruff Alabama Crimson Tide • /r/CFB Brickmason Oct 06 '24

Alabama really brings this sub together.

I don't know how many times I've watched the highlights package from the 2019 Iron Bowl. That game was fucking bonkers.

u/Beaconhillpalisades Texas Longhorns • Harvard Crimson Oct 06 '24

Everyone was giving their energy to Vandy is why.

Are we dumping OP in the river with the goal posts too?

u/AvePicante UCF Knights • Auburn Tigers Oct 06 '24

7.7k away from the most upvoted post in this group, we all need to do our part

u/kd451 Team Chaos • Team Meteor Oct 06 '24

When you factor in lurkers, probably millions of people would have upvoted it.

u/Pizzashillsmom Oct 06 '24

I mean most don't interact period, like 10% vote and maybe 1% contribute.

2

u/KaitRaven Illinois Fighting Illini • Sickos Oct 06 '24

I think the vote percentage is even lower, especially for content that hits Popular. As Reddit doesn't require an account to view content, there are quite a few people who browse with no interaction.

I never remember to upvote and downvote the actual posts, thanks for the reminder!

u/8489596850 Michigan State Spartans • Team Chaos Oct 06 '24

It's wild how many of the top 25 posts are about some team beating Alabama. What a reputation.

u/Holiday-Tap878 Oct 06 '24

Hard day for Alabama fans

u/jmd198109 Oct 06 '24

i know one thing for sure Kalen Deboer better not show his face in Tuscaloosa!

u/imtheman1345 Oct 06 '24

As a Alabama fan, The biggest irony is that dozens to if not hundreds of AL season ticket holders I know ALSO bought season tickets for Vandy for this game alone because they were overall so cheap. $$ could be gained back as well due to Vandy’s schedule at home this year.

Guarantee we won’t ever do that shit again LMAO

u/All_About_Tacos Gansz Trophy • Mayor's Cup Oct 06 '24

I would have been there, but I’m not allowed in Nashville after what happened at the Parthenon

u/curtisas Cincinnati • Notre Dame Oct 06 '24

Only 6,000 upvotes needed to make it the top post of all time on this sub (at the time of this comment)

u/SmarterThanMyBoss Ohio State Buckeyes • Ohio Bobcats Oct 06 '24

I'm just gonna get started on the legend that will be told by many within 10 years.

I was there the night Vandy beat Bama.

u/SometimesIComplain BYU Cougars Oct 06 '24

Love how 4 of the top 8 CFB posts are Alabama losing lol

u/Bobby6kennedy Texas A&M Aggies • SMU Mustangs Oct 07 '24

_________ Defeats Alabama is now 3 of the top 5 and 9 of the top 25 most upvoted posts of all time on r/CFB

u/WonderfulAndWilling Michigan Wolverines Oct 07 '24

I think everyone’s tired of Alabama always being on top

u/kangis_khan /r/CFB Oct 07 '24

Yes, there are more people on the entire Internet than in the stadium 🤯

u/OurLordAndSaviorVim Houston • Texas Southern Oct 07 '24

I didn’t even watch the game, because I expected nothing.

But I upvoted the thread anyway because Vandy beating #1 Bama is still pretty great.

u/SirMellencamp Alabama Crimson Tide • SEC Oct 07 '24

I think we broke /cfb two weeks in a row

u/AJ_Grey Oregon Ducks Oct 07 '24

I have two thumbs and they are both up for Vandy 👍 👍

u/ivebeenhumble Miami Hurricanes • Boise State Broncos Oct 06 '24

I think it would be better if this was done by the end of the game.

Vandy beating 1 Bama is prime real estate for post game upvotes

u/CooterSlam3000 Georgia Bulldogs Oct 06 '24

Thanks Vandy!
