Anchor Drop, June 14, 2023: 73 Days to Kickoff

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

We are now 73 days away from Vanderbilt football’s season opener against Hawaii. 73 for the Commodores is offensive lineman Charlie Clark. The 6’7”, 305-pound redshirt sophomore from Madison, Wisconsin, appeared in two games last season after walking on the team prior to the 2021 season.

Also, he has a mustache.

The SEC is releasing 2024 conference opponents tonight at 6 PM CT on the SEC Network. Honestly, skip it and I’ll probably have a post up tonight after the reveal.

And I really don’t have anything else. The slow news cycle... continues. Happy Flag Day, everyone! The U.S. Open starts tomorrow with Vanderbilt star Gordon Sargent and former Commodore Luke List both scheduled to play. Hockey season is now over with the Vegas Golden Knights claiming the Stanley Cup, which means... well, we’ve just got baseball going now. (But the CONCACAF Gold Cup will be starting in a week.)
