After Vanderbilt's victory, fans uprooted a goalpost and threw it into the Cumberland River. Vanderbilt University is now auctioning off pieces of the goalpost and other memorabilia. The auction started on Sunday night and will run until Thursday at 5 p.m. on Live Source, giving fans a chance to own a piece of the win, according to WKRN.
In a Saturday night game that ended 40-35, fans quickly took down the goal post and carried it through downtown Nashville before throwing it into the river. According to The Tennessean, quarterback Diego Pavia played a key role in the victory. The auction for souvenirs includes a four-inch piece of the goal post currently bidding at $1,005, while an eight-inch piece is at $4,035.
The Southeastern Conference (SEC) fined Vanderbilt $100,000 for violating competition access rules. According to WKRN, the SEC requires schools to limit access to competition areas, a rule that was breached during the celebrations.
WSMV reports that the auction offers more than just goalpost fragments for those wanting a piece of the historic win. It includes personalized game helmets signed by head coach Clark Lea, with bids exceeding $4,200, as well as game pylons and balls. These items are part of the unforgettable memories for Vanderbilt fans. However, by Monday morning, the 4-inch pieces had already sold out, leaving the larger eight-inch sections still up for bidding.
