Anchor Drop, June 17, 2023: 70 Days to Kickoff

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

We are now 70 days away from Vanderbilt football’s season opener against Hawaii. 70 for the Commodores is offensive lineman David Siegel. The 6’6”, 291-pound redshirt freshman from New Canaan, Connecticut, appeared in four games on special teams last season.

New Vanderbilt basketball player Ven-Allen Lubin was selected for the USA U19 basketball team, which will play in the World Cup starting on June 24 in Hungary. (You’d better believe I’m going to find out what channel that’s on and demand that all of you watch it.)

Gordon Sargent finished the second round of the U.S. Open at even par, so he’ll get to play the weekend.

And finally, humanity was a mistake.
