WATCH: NSFW scuffle breaks out as Vanderbilt players try to plant flag in Neyland Stadium
A new trend that has taken over college football this year (thanks to Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield) is road teams trying to plant their team’s flag at midfield after big road victories.
However, after Vanderbilt beat Tennessee at Neyland Stadium on Saturday evening, the Vols weren’t about to let their home field be disrespected like that.
As you can see in the video below, the Vols, led by DB Micah Abernathy, stopped a group of Commodores from planting their flag. The video, posted on Twitter by Jordan Dajani, contains some NSFW language, but it was an important moment for the Vols:

No, this season hasn’t gone according to plan for Tennessee, but it’s nice to see the players have some pride in the Tennessee name and protect their 50-yard line.
The defense should have just played better to defend their home turf, but it was a good sign that the players are still willing to fight for the name on the front of their jerseys instead of just the name on the back of the uniform.
Huh. They were more willing to put up hands after the game than the were during the game. Explains why this is the worst team in their school’s history.
Vandy should know, they’ve had more worst seasons than anyone.
Spoken like a true UT fan. You probably said “this is our year” before the season like most other UT fans, every year.
Yea literally no one says that but nice try..
Yea you know it’s a terrible season when we lose to Vandy. Good news is, I’ve won a lot of money this year betting against us, including tonight.
You Vandy Fans need to go crawl back under your rock… only the 4 fans that have shown up to the vandy games are allow to talk smack… I am sure you are not one of them…
Maybe Tennessee should try to hire Derek Mason.
Derek Dooley doesnt look so bad now, maybe he would come back? :))
It’s funny how the commode fans show up for the first time all season on here. Enjoy the win your team deserves it.
Oh and Derek mason is a darn good coach.
How many beat downs did Tennessee and Florida get this year? Let me count……I think Vandy’s big win today planted a dagger in the heart of UT. Recruits and others can’t get away fast enough. Well done Dores!
He said with all of the class a Georgia fan has…….
No team should plant flags in other fields. Very disrespectful.
Its not like Vandy won that game anyway. Its more like TN lost. TN lost all year. Be real people. Coach Jones was not great, but neither was the rest of the coaches, staff, or players. Just another bad year for TN to finish the “Decade of Decadent Loss” (my quote)
