Good morning.
Optional Musical Accompaniment
We are now 81 days away from Vanderbilt football’s season opener against ETSU. 81 for Vanderbilt is wide receiver Will Sheppard. The 6’3”, 190-pound sophomore from Mandeville, Louisiana, was a late addition to the 2020 signing class and impressed enough in camp to get into eight games as a true freshman in 2020, mostly on special teams though he did have two catches on the season including a ridiculous 24-yard catch against Florida. Sheppard was one of those late-bloomers with ridiculous numbers and tape during his senior year of high school, and that late take seems like it may pay off in the future.
And, we now have a game time for Vanderbilt baseball’s first game of the College World Series. Vanderbilt will open against Arizona at 6 PM CT on Saturday; that game will be televised on ESPN, after the conclusion of the first game between Stanford and NC State, which starts at 1 PM.
Also, Andrew answered questions from Arizona blog Arizona Desert Swarm. (If you’re wondering, their answers to our questions are coming later today.)
