Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt basketball opens SEC Tournament play today and the opponent will be Tennessee, for the third time this season and the first time since… last Saturday in the regular season finale. Tennessee was the beneficiary of Auburn lighting itself on fire yesterday afternoon, and now, the Vols and Commodores will meet again at approximately 2:30 PM CT today on ESPN following the first game of the day between Kentucky and Florida.

While SEC play closes in basketball, SEC play opens in baseball, with Vanderbilt hosting LSU tonight at 6 PM CT on SEC Network+. Let’s see how that goes!

Men’s tennis hosts a doubleheader today against Auburn and Xavier, starting at 1. The women’s team visits Mississippi State at 3 PM.

And finally, bullying works.

This was of course stupid all along, but we had to endure a bunch of sportswriters who secretly hate the sport telling us this was as much a part of the future as the Players Era Festival, and frankly: can people just stop making the future sound so fucking awful?

Yep, we live in a world where dipshit tech optimists keep telling us that in the future, you will be outlawed from driving your own damn car.
