QUOTES OF THE DAY
“Larry has separated himself, and deserves to get the ball. He has the big edge on experience, and really understands the offense. I expect to see Larry play well Saturday.”
— Football coach Robbie Caldwell on Larry Smith being named the Commodores’ starting quarterback
“He’s one of the best players I’ve seen work-ethic-wise. Instead of a lab rat, he’s like the film rat. He knows everything. He knows the defense, he controls the defense and he’s always been a great leader telling the defense what to do.”
— Safety Sean Richardson on linebacker Chris Marve (Source: The City Paper)
“Don’t be fooled by his humor, by his down-home talk. I read what he said at SEC Media Days. A person has to be pretty darn bright to be able to do what he did and pull it off. He is from Pageland (S.C.), watermelon capital of the country. But behind that watermelon is a pretty sharp guy.”
— South Carolina Athletics Director Eric Hyman on Vanderbilt football coach Robbie Caldwell (Source: The Tennessean)

TWEETS OF THE DAY
@RobbieCaldwell (Football coach Robbie Caldwell): I have got to learn to tweet from my phone. Game week! Great practice today on fine points of Northwestern. Players are excited.
@BucsDoresFan: @RobbieCaldwell Go get ’em coach. Start the season off right with a big W.
@SEC_Chuck: Seeing NFL sell-out crowds at preseason games where so many non-starters play, wonder how preseason games in college would be met by fans?
@ClayTravisBGID: Poor Coach Taylor. Friday Night Lights’ failure at the Emmys is also an indictment of voter taste. Best show on network TV and never won.
@pawlow34: I think the Teen Wolf basketball player was one of the most underrated players in hoops movies. http://su.pr/9y7lQk
