So, it’s almost over.
Saturday marks the final home game of the Vanderbilt Commodores’ 2020-21 season and the final home game for three seniors, Maxwell Evans, Clevon Brown, and Isaiah Rice. (We assume, of course, but the NCAA’s one-time exemption allowing for an additional year of eligibility due to the pandemic means that any of them could return.) Also being honored is Ejike Obinna, technically a redshirt junior, though he’s in his fourth year at Vanderbilt and presumably is graduating.
That’s one angle for this game. The other angle is injuries: Vanderbilt is limping to the finish line, with Dylan Disu out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury. Scotty Pippen Jr. and Clevon Brown both missed Wednesday night’s game vs. Tennessee and at this time, their status is unknown for today’s game (I’m writing this at about 8:30 on Saturday morning, so if there’s an update I may have missed it.)
Opening Statements
(Chairman & Chief Executive Officer D. Cal McNair) Well, welcome everybody, and thank you for being here with us. Hopefully we can start doing these in person real soon. I just wanted to jump on this meeting because this is an incredibly exciting day for our franchise. We have added a very well respected and experienced member to our Texans family, in our new head coach, David Culley. We met with a lot of terrific candidates throughout the process but David s vision and ability to bring people together made it obvious to us that he is our guy. I ll kick it to Nick (Caserio) and David for opening statements, but I just wanted to start off by saying how excited my family is to welcome David and his family to the Houston Texans. Thank you and go Texans.
