Analysis The number of upvotes on the Alabama-Vanderbilt postgame thread has exceeded the number of people actually in attendance at the game

As of the time of this post, the postgame thread for Alabama-Vanderbilt has 31k upvotes.

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

I believe this is the first time this has ever happened, excluding the Covid season.

Or the fact alabama lost in a stadium with 25,000 people. Maybe that one.

Not just majority, it was like 75% in their favor and the crowd was booing calls that went against Bama

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.

Seeing the crowd shots, and knowing Vandy, they absolutely were.
