What Vandy, South Carolina fans are saying about each other
Football season is upon us, SEC fans. The first game features two East Division teams looking to get on track with a win after an offseason of mystery. How will Will Muschamp do at the helm of the Gamecocks? And who will play quarterback? In Derek Mason’s third year, will Vandy make a step toward relevance in the division?
For a divisional matchup, this one is surprisingly civil. The normal name calling of a Saturday matchup took a bit of a backseat to excitement for football season. Also, Vandy fans generally need to step up their trash talking game.
Fans on both sides weighed in with their always astute takes ahead of tonight’s action.
Vanderbilt's 5-star freshman punter Sam Loy is not starting Thursday against South Carolina. If they lose, now we know why.

Be sure they show that L Vandy took last season to the Gamecocks. Just so their fans can simmer down. https://t.co/9WXLduO5TL

Who else think our defense is going to shut down South Carolina?

Don't get why SC fans are so confident about a win tomorrow. Do they know Muschamp is their coach? Our defense is going to shut them down.

LOL SC trolls are out ?

Funny to see South Carolina fans bash Spurrier's book on Amazon. They're probably just mad that they can't read.

@angi_walker @whowell_2 @bhamdore @DrJoeThompson alright… Well this "same old vandy" is about to curb stomp South Carolina
