Dores Tame Cocks

(No this is not a sophomoric reference to my last post. Shame on you.)

Go Vandy! On yet another upset Saturday, Vandy pulled off the biggest upset in school history, beating the #6 ranked South Carolina Gamecocks 17-6 on the road in Columbia. Steve Spurrier looked stunned. How big was this? This is only the fourth time in Vandy history that the Dores have beaten a top ten team, and it was the first EVER on the road. This also ties their best win ever, against #6 LSU in 1937--70 years ago. That might not be so surprising if Vandy didn't play in the SEC, where facing off against top ten teams happens at least a few times every year. The last time Vandy upset a top tenner was #8 Florida in 1974.

OK, so the Gamecocks were overrated. Who isn't this year? Parity rules!
