The name of the group playing it, “Alabama.”I heard some lame ass country song playing after the Vols' big win. I guess they wanted to pick a song that would be sure to kill the vibe. A Tennessee tradition

Tennessee Launched A $150K Fundraiser To Replace Goalposts
After the Tennessee Volunteers’ thrilling upset over the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday night, fans reached out to the athletic department asking how they could keep the party going.
The response: help replace the goalposts that were dismantled following the game-winning field goal, an athletic department spokesperson told Front Office Sports. The school launched an official campaign hoping to raise more than $150,000 for new ones.
“Y’all remember how we tore the goalposts down, hauled em out of Neyland and dumped em in the Tennessee River?” the football team tweeted on Sunday. “Yeah that was awesome. Anywho, turns out that in order to play next week’s game, we need goalposts on our field. Could y’all help us out?”
In less than 24 hours, the campaign raised more than $80,000 — more than half of the total.
The school had fun with donation amounts, suggesting that fans give $52.49 (the final score), $1.019.15 (the sold-out capacity of Neyland Stadium), or $16 (the number of years since the Vols beat the Crimson Tide).

The Vols athletic department owes more than just new field equipment, however. The SEC is fining the school $100,000 for allowing fans to storm the field...

Song was probably “Rocky Top” which is to Tennessee what “Hail to the Victors” is up North. Played over…and over…and over.
It’s been recorded by a whole lotta folks, but I don’t ever recall the band Alabama being one. The most played version I’ve heard recently was recorded by Osborn Brothers, who sometimes have a bit of Alabama-like sound.

It was this song. They were trolling Bama because this is one of their songs they blast in Tuscaloosa.

They played it because if you listen to the song it all happens in Tennessee and yes, it's also a song that Alabama fans sing (with some fun added lyrics).
