No. 1 Florida Still Speechless

The Vanderbilt Commodores stunned No. 1 Florida basketball team by upseting the Gators yesterday 80-73. Now, I know this wasn't for the National Championship, but here in Nashville the town is going crazy. Not only did unranked Vandy beat an SEC team, Florida was ranked No. 1 and was on a 17-game win streak. We all know the drill of top ranked teams; eventually someone is going to beat them and there is always a good chance it will be by a non-ranked opponent. Vandy is known for their academics so I am all for them getting some sports recognition from time to time. I prefer to hear about Vandy's upset win on the news stations over Pac-Man Jones' run-ins with the law anyday!
