Posted 48 minutes ago. Even though it would have been a bit of a competitive break, I'm sure everyone here is happy to see South Carolinians recover some sense of normalcy. Hope it helps their spirits despite the Vandy win.

This aspect of the betting line was interesting. In the advanced stats--poo pooed by half of VandySports, but taken seriously by those who bet for a living--Carolina is substantially ahead in the Sagarins and Vandy in the F/+. If the bettors believe Vandy and SC are pretty close in playing strength, then essentially the line reflected their belief that Columbia would be able to host the game.
Incidentally I too believe VU and USC are closer in playing strength than most here would like to admit. Should be a fun game.
