Weekend in Sports Purgatory: Florida vs. Vanderbilt

Florida lost its first SEC game of the year on Saturday in the weirdest gym in the SEC perhaps in all of college basketball. Vanderbilt's Memorial Auditorium was built with the idea of having use other than basketball so the court is actually built like a stage and to prevent injury from someone diving out of bounds, there is a good ten yards of space out of bounds on one side. Anyway, missed the altercation between Joakim Noah and Gene Stallings so I don't know what that was about. No reason to believe Florida will be anything but a #1 seed and the favorite to win the NCAA Tournament, this was the kind of game that's impossible to win for almost any team. On the road, in conference to an inferior team on national television. Luckily they were the only highly ranked team to lose such a game.

Can you believe that the New York area got Army vs. Navy instead of this game? Also, not sure if you are being facetious and I don't want to pull a Smist but the Vanderbilt coach is Kevin not Gene Stallings.

No, you caught a misnomer. You can take the boy out of college football...
