Let’s get it right this time and beat Vandy

September 4th, 2008 · 1 Comment

We hated to see the Gamecocks get ranked this week, it seems as soon as they get some national love they choke. The Gamecocks will be taking on Vandy tonight in what should be an easy win for USC. Vandy embarrassed the cocks last year and the team never recovered from the loss and loss […]
