Title: Vanderbilt Sweeps Florida and Georgia first time ever Post by: Catch Prothro on November 12, 2013, 05:02:48 AM I was curious if they had done it before, so I looked it up.
Quote Mark the date, Vanderbilt fans, for Nov. 9, 2013 might stand as the greatest day in Commodores football history. With Vandy's 34-17 thumping of Florida, it served as the program's first victory in Gainesville since 1945 — and only the Commodores' second-ever road win over the Gators. But that's not even the grandest historical nugget of the day. With its Saturday victory, the 2013 squad became the first in school history to knock off both Georgia and Florida in the same season. Not bad for a Commdores club (4-4, 2-3 in SEC play) that's still one victory away from becoming bowl-eligible for an unprecedented third straight season, program-wise. (Vandy has remaining games against Kentucky, Tennessee and Wake Forest.) It's worth noting: Vandy football, a southern staple since 1902, came close to pulling off the Georgia-Florida sweep three times before Saturday: **1955: Vandy beat Florida ... but lost to UGA, 14-13 **1958: Vandy beat Georgia ... and tied Florida, 6-all **1961: Vandy beat Georgia ... but lost to Florida, 7-0 http://www.foxsportssouth.com/collegefootball/sec-conference/story/Vandy-tops-Gators-nets-first-Florida-Geo?blockID=960009&feedID=3703 Title: Re: Vanderbilt Sweeps Florida and Georgia first time ever Post by: Marshal Dillon on November 12, 2013, 12:24:23 PM OUCH!!
