The victory by the Aggies was just the first in a day full of epic surprises.


Party In Nashville

If you were in Nashville on Saturday night, chances are you heard Miley Cyrus belting it's a party in the U.S.A. in at least one of your stops on Broadway. The Vanderbilt Commodores took down the Alabama Crimson Tide in the most surprising outcome of the day and maybe the most surprising moment in the last 30 years.

The 'Dores feared no man and let Alabama know you don't just walk into Nashville and make the place your own.
