I’ve only ever been to one away regular season SEC game and, sadly, it was a Zook-era Vandy game (2002).
Cold, gray day. Cold, gray stadium. No indication anywhere on campus that it was game day. There was one restaurant nearby jammed with Gators. 10,000 Gator fans in one corner, 2,000 Vandy fans scattered around the rest of the 40k gray stadium. Even the concession stand was crappy, my pretzel cold and my Coke flat.
We won 21-17. Yawn indeed.
The yawn is Vandy’s best weapon and hope. They can sneak up on dozing teams and make it tougher than it should be. But I think we’ll run up a lot of points this year because we’re having so much fun.
Vandy’s QB will have the best game of his life, but we will cover the spread.
