Anchor Drop, June 25, 2023: 62 Days to Kickoff

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

We are now 62 days away from Vanderbilt football’s season opener against Hawaii. 62 for the Commodores is offensive lineman Julian Hernandez. The 6’4”, 315-pound redshirt senior from Davie, Florida, has been Vanderbilt’s starting center for most of the last two seasons, starting ten games last season and missing two due to injury.

I don’t really have much else today. Ven-Allen Lubin and Team USA plays Slovenia at 1 PM CT today in the FIBA U-19 World Cup, which you can stream on YouTube.

(I do want to point out, though, that it is incredible how much more interesting college baseball is when it’s played with the dimensions in use at Omaha and teams can’t just play gorilla ball.)
