Anchor Drop, June 11, 2023: 76 Days to Kickoff

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

We are now 76 days away from Vanderbilt football’s season opener against Hawaii. 76 for the Commodores is offensive lineman Grayson Morgan. The 6’5”, 277-pound redshirt freshman from Nashville saw some snaps in the Hawaii game and then took the rest of the season off, probably needing to add weight before he’s ready to contribute much. He won a state championship in high school at Montgomery Bell Academy.

Vanderbilt track and field tied for 20th at the NCAA Championships.

And, um, that’s it. Sorry for the “I’m just here so I don’t get fined” nature of the Anchor Drop. It is what it is. There’s nothing going on right now, and I can only write so many rants about various sports things.
