Locked On Vandy – Daily Podcast on Vanderbilt University Commodores Football and Basketball

On today’s episode we look at how Mark Byington deserves to be Coach of the Year. He took over an empty roster, literally. Recruited 13 players from the portal and retained Tyler Tanner. Got this team together in June and is now a lock for the dance by knocking off 2 top 15 teams in a week and another tourney team in Ole Miss this past saturday. After that, we set goals for Clark Lea ahead of spring practice. What does it take for them to repeat and improve on their success in 2024? Then we wrap the show by highlighting a rough trip out west for the Dores. The sky is not falling but some things need to definitely be fixed. However, I like all these tough games early, builds character. #anchordown

On today’s episode we will dive into the comments that Diego Pavia made in his most recent interview. It’s crazy to think about having championship/college football playoff expectations at Vandy, but if you’re going to flip the mindset/culture of the team, this is exactly what needs to happen. After that, we explore a red hot Vandy basketball team and see if they can continue their run at Memorial vs. Mizzou. I believe they’re in, now just a matter of seeding. How can they beat a strong Mizzou team? Then we wrap the show by previewing the Vandyboys 2nd west coast trip. The have some pitching questions that need answering. #anchordown Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! PrizePicks Download the app and use code lockedonnfl to win $50 instantly when you play $5.

Vandy is likely to have punched their ticket to the NCAA Tourney. They were on the right side of the bubble already and a 4th Quad 1 win will put them over the hump. Played a complete game and just kept attacking A&M and creating looks. In football, they picked up a massive portal commit in Bryce Henderson from South Dakota. What does he bring? How does this affect the OL room? #anchordown upport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! PrizePicks Download the app and use code lockedonnfl to win $50 instantly when you play $5.

On today’s episode I breakdown the reasons why the SEC is not ready for a consistently good Vandy team. It’s a rising NIL market that Vandy admins are starting to discover. It’s becoming a stable program with an establishing culture. Next will be discussing Vandy basketball’s updated tournament resume. 3 quad 1 wins, can they get that bid? How is the team/Coach Byington handling it? Then we wrap the show by discussing the fact that Vandy may have found an Ace, something they lacked a season ago. Cody Bowker is straight dealing.

On today’s episode we kick things off by discussing how I still believe that Vandy is being underrated at 4.5 wins by Fanduel and why i think Vandy can get to 8 this season, not including the bowl game. Vandy returns a lot of starters, most importantly the top QB/TE duo of Diego Pavia and Eli Stowers. It’s a tough schedule, I get it, but this is also a team that will be better equipped to handle it. We’ll discuss more in detail. Then, I will tell you about the fact that Memorial Magic is indeed a real thing. Not that I doubted it before, but I saw it live in the form of a team that is terrible in the 2nd half and was terrible in the 2nd half, but recovered in time to complete a huge win over Ole Miss. Are they in the dance now? To wrap things up, the baseball team is off to a hot start. Bowker pitched a gem and the team plated 34 runs in a weekend sweep of St. Mary’s. Is this team for real? #anchordown Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! PrizePicks Download the app and use code lockedonnfl to win $50 instantly when you play $5.

On today’s episode we try to answer the question, will Vandy finally play well in the 2nd half. On the last episode we discussed the offensive line, well, Vandy hired South Dakota’s OL coach and now are in the mix for Bryce Henderson, top FCS tackle. These additions will help Diego Pavia and Eli Stowers be the top QB/TE duo in College football. #anchordown Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

On today’s episode we react to what just went down at Rupp. It was a competitive game. As spring football draws nearer, Vandy has stepped up OL recruiting. Also, do they need to go to the portal in the spring window to get another OL? It will depend on how spring practice goes and it seems that Diego Pavia and this Vandy offense will go as far as this offensive line will take them. #anchordown Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
