Biggest night in Vanderbilt football history? You betcha. After shocking No. 1 Alabama 40-35, the students are carrying the goalposts from West End all the way down to the agglomeration of bars and honky-tonks on Lower Broadway, which is about a 2 1/2 mile hike. The goal posts ended up in the Cumberland River, where they found a watery grave. 



Vandy247's Robbie Weinstein said on social media that Nashville had closed streets around Broadway in anticipation of the Vanderbilt goal posts' arrival

Coach Clark Lea said he'd be enjoying Vanderbilt's win for the next 12 hours. Vanderbilt's student body is right there with him.
