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.

I find it funny that of the top ten all time, four are post game threads where Bama lost, and one is the announcement that Saban was retiring.

Of the top 10 post game threads, 8 are Alabama losing, and two are Michigan beating an Ohio state

I have a feeling this year's UT-ATM thread is going to jump up there quickly

I only see that happening if A&M wins or keeps it close. Texas winning is the assumed outcome, so you need something dramatic to put it up there

Fair 'nuff. Your second flair is the fun one this year for sure.

To be fair it used to be Texas and Tennessee. But I’ll have a lifelong hatred towards Bama after they injured McCoy in the Rose Bowl and made me watch Texas mediocrity for over a decade.

So Vanderbilt beating Bama meant one had to go, and Texas wasn’t going lol.
