VANDY!
On the road to 7-5, I have picked every Vandy game accurately so far. From August, here is what I wrote about this weekend:
"At South Carolina: win. (This is my closest call, because Spurrier would suit up before he loses to Vandy. Even so, we were strongest on the road last year, and USC is suffering awful distractions despite the coach’s best efforts to raise expectations.)"
WIN! Did I say "win"? Yes, I did.
I would not have dared to think that this win would be a victory over a top-10, SEC East foe in the hunt for the conference championship. This is the highest ranked team we have beaten in 70 years.
Next week: Miami of Ohio. With that win, as I predict, we will be one game away from .500 with four games to play: Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Wake Forest. I'll stick with my picks, and Tennessee looked awfully beatable today, too. We might even win eight games. Don't scoff. LSU beat Florida. Kentucky beats LSU. Kentucky loses to South Carolina. Vandy beats South Carolina. Stranger things have happened, just not recently.
Go 'Dores!
Update from Sunday's Tennessean:
"Following the game, Jim Bridges and Mike Langford of Florida Citrus Sports visited the Commodores locker room.
Florida Citrus Sports is the organizing body for the Capital One Bowl in Orlando — formerly the Citrus Bowl — which pits an SEC team against a Big Ten team.
'We just wanted to congratulate Coach Johnson for a big win,' Bridges said."
Tantalizing.

I hear Orlando is very nice in December. Congrats on a signature win.
My condolences to the Mrs.,though.
