Georgia By A Touchdown?
Far be it from us to question the wisdom of the oddsmakers, but did somebody drop a particularly potent batch of cooked crack on Las Vegas this week?
Seriously, a touchdown? Georgia’s only favored by a touchdown?
Whoever set the betting line on this weekend’s Georgia-South Carolina match-up obviously knows something we don’t. Like Georgia starting their cheerleaders against our first-team offense, for example.
We know the Gamecocks upset the Bulldogs last year (between the hedges in Athens, no less), but we’ve lost to Vanderbilt twice since then, people.
Permit us to repeat that … Vanderbilt.
Sure, Williams-Brice stadium will be packed Saturday afternoon with thousands of South Carolina-educated people who don’t understand a shitty investment when it’s starting them in the face (and they’ll all jump to their feet to celebrate the two or three first downs we pick up), but we’ve grown to expect that from our fellow Gamecock fans.
And let’s be honest, there’s not a whole helluva lot to do in this state.
But we expected a little more from Vegas bookies.
Hopefully Carolina can salvage some dignity tomorrow but we seriously doubt it.

Sic. I think you read the odds for the first quarter.

Again, to all of you so called “football followers”. Vandy is no way to gauge an entire season. True, it will be more than a touchdown, but no blowout. But hell, since everyone is down on the Gamecocks, f*uck it. They suck, and the lost to Vandy. I guess they might as well never play again.

They barely made it by a touchdown. It could have easily belonged to USC.
