And that team was South Carolina, who was ranked 24th heading into last night’s game. It was Vandy’s first such victory at home since 1992. While a short wave of BCS fever sweeps over the Nashville campus, it’s time to point and laugh at the second South Carolina team to soil itself on national television in five days. South Carolina is a program that Steve Spurrier still can’t seem to get into top gear. Well, I guess we can finally put the rumors to rest. There actually is at least one black guy playing for Vanderbilt.

OK, my bracket looks like a World War I French battle plan, but I suppose that's what I get for penciling DePaul in on the play-in game line. Time to root for upsets like the one that occurred last night when #13 Siena beat #4 Vanderbilt 83-62.

On their own floor this season, Vanderbilt was 19-0, averaging 85.1 points and outscoring opponents by 11.7 per game. Away from home, Vandy dropped significantly in every department — a 7-7 record, a 74.4 scoring average and it was actually outscored by 1.2 points per outing. The road jinx struck Vandy again Friday. And now the Commodores are heading home for the season. "We congratulate Siena," Stallings said. "They were the much better team today."

Hmm, 19-0 and 7-7? Seems like it would have made me reconsider my heavy wager in this game. Why can't they write the game recaps before the games happen? Oh well, I'll ponder that question while I watch a highlight reel of Sienna Miller's scenes in Layer Cake. -KD     

A top ten ranked college football team lost to an unranked opponent yesterday. (Yawn.)  What made Vanderbilt's upset of South Carolina particularly satisfying was that a Steve Spurrier-coached team lost and the Commodores win rendered their losing by less than a certain number of points a moot issue.  My heart enjoyed the former upside, and my bleeding ulcer appreciated the latter.

USC strong safety Emanuel Cook also could not get his head around losing to Vandy. “That’s the sorriest team in the SEC we lost to,” Cook said. “We should’ve won that game.”

I like how they have the same word or acronym that describes something completely in some areas of the South.  Everywhere else in the country, 'USC' means 'Southern Cal'.  It's similar to how they refer to a 'daily shower' when they really mean a 'monthly bath'.  Anyway, Vanderbilt is pretty sorry on the gridiron.  When are they going to create that college football super conference of crappy football squads of schools that analysts always say have "good academics"? Vanderbilt, Duke, Stanford, Northwestern and . . . who would the Big XII and Big East representatives be? On second thought, every conference and bleeding ulcer likes a patsy. -KD 

Pretty disappointing that it's noon on Wednesday, and I've already seen the best thing I'll see all week. Say what you will about how these Vandy undergrads are spending their dorm room days, but this beats the hell out of my two years in a dorm. Pretty much all I did was play Madden on the Sega Genesis, take naps, and do power hours. When I was a sophomore I added the wrinkle of hooking up with freshmen girls, but I didn't get any of it on video (sorry). However, if I had, I definitely would have chosen the same musical selection as these guys.

Thanks to Deadspin for this awesome find.
