Anchor Drop: Prairie View A&M Invitational

Jan 27, 2023 - 1:04 PM

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt bowling has finished second in four tournaments this season, but the Commodores have yet to win one. They’ll look to change that this weekend at the Prairie View A&M Invitational in Arlington, Texas. Hated rival McKendree and Nebraska, which beat the Commodores in the final of last weekend’s Northeast Classic, enter this weekend as the main roadblocks. Matches today start at 11:15 AM CT and will be streamed on bowltv.com.

As we head into the weekend, two former Vanderbilt football players look to make it to the Super Bowl — Allan George of the Bengals and Oren Burks of the 49ers.

The Hustler’s Brandon Karp again asks people to be patient with the women’s basketball team in this week’s Memorial Minutes column.

The Dore Report released a new podcast with former Vanderbilt assistant coach Ron Bargatze, who’s honestly probably better known at this point for being related to Nate Bargatze.
