EXCLUSIVE: Derek Mason's letter to the student body
Ziyi LiuThis is it. The Vanderbilt football season is about to kick off. On Thursday night, your Commodores take on South Carolina on campus. Our team has worked hard to make sure the first SEC game of the year will be one to remember.
This is where you – the Vanderbilt student body – comes in. We need the student section packed, and all of you cheering for the Commodores. It’s Thursday night, it’s an ESPN national audience – and most importantly, it’s an opportunity to make a statement in the SEC. A win over the Gamecocks is exactly what the Commodores need to get 2016 started the right way. But we can’t do it alone…we must have Vanderbilt Stadium lit!
