Cocks Beat Vandy
In a pair of Southeastern Conference road losses earlier this season, the University of South Carolina football team started strong but couldn’t finish.

Vanderbilt: We Told You So
We caught our fair share of grief last week for reminding football fans across the country that Vanderbilt is … well … still Vanderbilt.
