Predators Head Coach Helped Vanderbilt Students in Goalpost Parade

While the entire college football world watched as Vanderbilt University’s goalposts were marched through Nashville to the Cumberland River, there was a little help from Nashville Predators head coach Andrew Brunette. After the Vanderbilt Commodore stunned Alabama in one of the biggest upsets in college football, students stormed the field and tore down the field goal posts.

Fans across the internet watched as the students paraded the posts through Nashville, down famed Broadway, and eventually ended up in the Cumberland River. It wasn’t just students, however, as Brunette found himself involved in the fun.

"I actually touched it," Brunette said. "It was coming right down Broadway, just outside the Apple store."

The Predators had just finished their final home preseason game against the Carolina Hurricanes. Much of the team was still in the area as the goalposts made their way through town.
