Anchor Drop, June 6, 2022: 82 Days to Kickoff

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

We are now 82 days away from Vanderbilt football’s season opener at Hawaii. There’s no 82 on the roster, with last year’s 82 (Devin Boddie Jr.) having switched to 6.

Vanderbilt baseball kept its season alive by winning twice on Sunday: first, a 14-4 win over San Diego in an afternoon elimination game, followed by an 8-1 win over host Oregon State to force the regional to a Game 7 this afternoon at 3 PM CT, airing on ESPN+.

Here are the rest of the Game 7s (and a couple of rain-delayed Game 6s in here):

• 11:00 AM: Louisville Regional: Michigan vs. Louisville (ESPN+)
• 12:00 PM: Greenville Regional: Coastal Carolina vs. East Carolina (ESPN+)
• 12:00 PM: Gainesville Regional: Oklahoma vs. Florida (ESPNU)
