Anchor Drop, January 2, 2022: Women’s basketball postponed, again

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Well, Vanderbilt women’s basketball was supposed to host Missouri today, but that’s off — the second game in a row that the Commodores have lost to COVID-19 issues. The good news, I guess, is that this time it’s the other program’s issues, which I take to mean that Vanderbilt had enough to play. Which at least increases the likelihood that Thursday’s game against Arkansas is a go.

Meanwhile, Matt Corral got hurt in the Sugar Bowl last night, and The Discourse took a turn.

Well, okay. Glad we’re going to get more of those in the future after that. (But I listened to the ESPN commentary and I don’t find anything too detestable about it. They referred to playing in a bowl game as “doing the right thing,” and if you’ve got a problem with that value proposition, that’s a you problem.)
