Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt lacrosse lost 8-7 to Coastal Carolina on Wednesday at FirstBank Stadium, which… they’re playing at FirstBank Stadium now? Oh, yeah, but Vanderbilt also released renderings for the upgraded Soccer/Lacrosse Complex yesterday, as well as the new football center.

Yesterday at the SEC Tournament: Kentucky, Auburn, Ole Miss, and Oklahoma won. It’s kind of fun to see at least one of the SEC bubble teams (Texas) trip over its own dick and lose to Ole Miss on the first day, though Auburn and Oklahoma both won. Miami (Ohio) plays at 10 AM today, in case you wanted to see if they could make it super awkward for the NCAA by losing while just about every bubble team is losing around them.
