Anchor Drop, June 1, 2018: 92 days

Good morning.

We’re 92 days away from kickoff. Vanderbilt officially announced the kickoff time for the season opener with MTSU (and the Week 2 game against Nevada) on Thursday. The MTSU game kicks off at 6:30 PM CT on September 1, while the Nevada game will kick off at 11:00 AM CT on September 8.

Number 92 on the current roster is redshirt freshman defensive tackle Jonah Buchanan. The 6’4”, 270-pound Buchanan was a two-star recruit who was a late addition to the 2017 recruiting class. It remains to be seen if he’ll play a role for the Commodores in 2018.

Vanderbilt baseball opens the NCAA Tournament today in the Clemson Regional, taking on St. John’s at 11:00 AM CT on the SEC Network. Drake Fellows (6-4, 3.81) will get the start for Vanderbilt in the opener.

Off the West End

This is the kind of mental error you expect to see in an 8/9 game between Northwestern and Vanderbilt, not the damn NBA Finals. (Warriors won in overtime.)
