Another in a long line of great Thurs night football games. Vandy has had a great 2nd half, So.Car just scored and it's 24-17 with plenty of time on the clock. Vandy defense though might be wearing down. We'll see if they can hang on... Also one of the features was an interview with Jerri Spurrier in the stands. Fittingly they put a headset on her! No visor though. She came off really well, very classy lady. Jesse Palmer though couldn't bring himself to call her Jerri, he called her Mrs. Spurrier during the interview. The rest of the crew called her Jerri. Terry
Great job by Vanderbilt. Is Vandy going to be the cinderella team of 2008 or is South Carolina just that bad? PJ in Jersey
I hope Vandy makes a bowl game this year. They've made great strides over the last few years but haven't been able to get over the hump. I just hope that Tenn. is not what stands between them and getting in. If it is......we may be in trouble.
You infidel!! How dare you suggest that there be a team in the SEC East that is less than BCS worthy. We all know that they run 4 deep in NC contenders. I know its true. I heard it on TV.. Even more than that, it was on ESPN. Herbie is our buddy, he wouldn't mislead us. Repent!!
Corey, while I do think the SEC sports 4 legit NC contenders (although the spread offense is coming along a little slow in Auburn) South Carolina is a product of the media hype machine every year. Nothing's changed. Spurrier spouts off singing his team's praises during the preseason and they lose games they shouldn't lose during the regular season. South Carolina is not anywhere near the upper echelon of the SEC. Tenn. is still closer to the top of the heap than the Gamecocks. What this loss really speaks about it how terrible the ACC is. So. Carolina destroyed NC St. despite the fact that the Gamecocks' starting QB threw 4 picks. Speaking of 4 picks, didn't another team lose even though the opposing QB threw 4 picks recently???
They beat up NC State in the second half. Maybe next week against Georgia they'll look like a top 25 team.
Spurrier is now 1-6 in his last 7 games and has lost to Vandy two times in a row. I think he misses the talent he could recruit at Florida. I bowl on Thursday night so don't get to watch all the Thursday night games. I did record this one because of Spurrier and watched it after McCains speech. It could be a long season for him. So Corey, just what four teams was Herbie talking about? I doubt S. Carolina was on that list of four.
