Anchor Drop, May 29, 2018: 95 days

Good morning.

Vanderbilt men’s golf finished ninth in the stroke play portion of the NCAA Championship — one stroke back of eighth-place Texas A&M, which claimed the last match play spot. That ends the Commodores’ season in a bit of disappointment, and with that, every Vanderbilt sport other than baseball has now completed its season.

Speaking of baseball, you may have heard, but the Commodores got sent to Clemson — again — where they’ll be the 2-seed in the regional and play St. John’s in the first game on Friday at 11 AM CT.

So, it’s good to know that today marks 95 days until Vanderbilt’s season opener against Middle Tennessee State. Yep, we’re counting down the days, even though the Southpoint Casino in Las Vegas released over/under win totals for the 2018 season and pegs Vanderbilt to win just four games.
