Vanderbilt Ripped In Ruthless Fashion For Commemorating Music City Bowl Victory
Vanderbilt is commemorating a 2008 bowl victory this weekend, and football fans aren't impressed.
The Commodores announced the program will "celebrate the 15th anniversary of our 2008 Music City Bowl Champions" this weekend.
Vanderbilt finished the 2008 season 7-6, and won its first bowl game since 1955. Apparently, winning the Music City Bowl is worthy of commemoration like it's a bowl game that matters/mattered at the time.
While I do not think it matches the big name ones, a local Nashville expert with great hair who you might recognize texted me and said the bowl is booming in popularity as the city continues to explode. Championship games coming? It can't be ruled out, but I digress.
Vanderbilt destroyed for commemorating Music City Bowl victory.
Naturally, fans were quick to roast the hell out of Vanderbilt for honoring a bowl game victory in a season that saw the team finish 7-6.
Below are just a handful of the hilarious reactions.

The reactions on X were equally ruthless.
Embarrassing and pathetic doesn't even begin to sum up this move from Vandy. Commemorating the Music City Bowl?
Folks, what are we even doing here? The Music City Bowl is a joke. If bowl games were going to start getting slashed, it'd be near the top of the list.
Ending up in the Music City Bowl isn't something to be proud of. It means your team had a very average season. Vandy was literally 6-6 during the 2008 regular season. Now, they're out here celebrating?

Fans absolutely should roast them. Have higher expectations. Have much higher expectations, Vanderbilt. Would Nick Saban or Kirby Smart ever do something like this? Absolutely not. By celebrating a 7-6 season that ended with a Music City Bowl victory, Vandy is just telling the world it doesn't expect much. Sad!
