Vanderbilt auctioning off items from upset win over Alabama
Vanderbilt is giving fans the chance to own a piece of the school's historic win over Alabama.
Following Saturday's 40-35 upset of No. 1-ranked Alabama, Vanderbilt announced that it's auctioning off several items from the win. The auction opened Sunday night and runs until Thursday.
Included in the lot are pieces of the field-goal posts and uprights, several game balls, game pylons, and a personalized game helmet that had already reached a high bid of $31,090 as of Monday afternoon.
Commodores fans stormed the field after Saturday's game in Nashville and could be seen tearing down a goal post, which was later recovered from the Cumberland River. Vanderbilt was fined $100,000 as a result of the field storming.

Nashville Fire Department retrieves the goalpost from the Cumberland River and it is being turned over to Vanderbilt where it will probably be cut up for fans for a donation for the SEC fine. @VandyAD @VandyFootball @NashvilleFD #Vanderbiltgoalpost #AnchorDown pic.twitter.com/sY2UcB2h3m
