Anchor Drop, October 5, 2023: Soccer Hosts Texas A&M

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt soccer hosts Texas A&M tonight at 7:00 PM CT on the SEC Network+. The Commodores are 1-3 in the SEC and have lost their last two times out. Texas A&M won’t be easy; the Aggies are 2-1-1 in the conference.

Vanderbilt will be sending Tyrin Lawrence and Ezra Manjon to SEC Tipoff’24, which is I guess what we’re calling basketball media days now. That will be October 18 and 19 in Birmingham.

Women’s basketball announced game times for their home games.

MLB might want to rethink the scheduling of the wild card series after all four of them ended in two-game sweeps yesterday.
