Anchor Drop, September 28, 2023: The SEC Network analyst is who?

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

The SEC Network made an... interesting choice for the analyst on Saturday’s Missouri-Vanderbilt broadcast.

Look, I don’t really have anything against Mason, but I’m sure having him broadcast a game between his former school and the school that embarrassed him in his final game (don’t mention who the kicker was in that game don’t mention who the kicker was in that game) is uh, certainly a choice.

(But one thing the Tennessean pointed out this morning, in a paywalled article, is that Lea’s team is more heavy on Nashville-area players than Mason’s ever was.)

Men’s golf took second place at the SEC Match Play, losing 3-2 to Auburn in yesterday’s championship match. Women’s basketball announced its TV schedule for the season.
