Theo Von doubles down on date with Diego Pavia's mom after Vandy upset South Carolina

In this story:
The Vanderbilt Commodores pulled off a stunning upset over the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday, 31-7, and now 'Dores quarterback Diego Pavia has to put his money where his mouth is.
The SEC sensation allegedly bet comedian Theo Von that if he and his squad beat No. 11-ranked South Carolina that Von would get to take his mother on a date.

The "This Past Weekend" podcast host raised eyebrows during an in-game sideline interview with SEC analyst Cole Cubelic, telling the former lineman that he's not looking for a serious relationship after suggesting Pavia's mom, Antoinette, is just his type, right down to her profession.
“I’ve always wanted to marry a nurse,” Von told Cubelic, adding, “I’d only be friends, I don’t want to be his stepdad or anything.”
Von followed up on the big bet on social media after Vanderbilt won 31-7. He posted a photo of Antoinette Pavia from the game broadcast with a heart drawn around her face and the caption: "where should i take her??"

Who knows if Von will get that date or if it's all talk, but he does have a residence in Nashville so he's close by if Pavia's mom wants to take him up on the offer.

The Vanderbilt Commodores, led by Pavia, are 3-0 for the first time since 2017. The team made its debut in the AP Top 25 at No. 20 as they enter Week 4 with a matchup against Georgia State coming up on Saturday.
