He also had smooth comedic timing, lighting up the crowd with laughter between beautiful vocals. The exciting atmosphere, thoughtful crowd and talented sets made for an unforgettable performance.
ESPN’s College GameDay came to Vanderbilt’s campus on Saturday, Oct. 25, as thousands of fans and students crowded around the set on Wyatt Lawn. This marked GameDay’s first appearance at Vanderbilt since 2008. The show lasted over three hours, from 8 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. CDT with comedian Nate Bargatze as the guest picker and special performances by Grammy-nominated country artists Kenny Chesney and Dierks Bentley.
Then-No. 10 Vanderbilt took down then-No. 15 Missouri, 17-10, at FirstBank Stadium on Oct. 25. With College GameDay on Vanderbilt’s campus in the morning, there was substantial excitement for this top-15 showdown.
