Vandy247 Podcast

Vanderbilt plays Kansas State in Week 3, and GoPowercat.com publisher Tim Fitzgerald gives all kinds of interesting info on the Wildcats, including how current Tennessee/former Kansas State athletic director John Currie wanted to get rid of legendary football coach Bill Snyder at the 14-minute mark (and why Tim thinks the hire won't work out for Tennessee), how Snyder built K-State into a winner  (35-minute mark), how Fitzgerald thinks VU should attack the 'Cats offensively, when he thinks Snider will retire (65) and a whole, whole lot more in a comprehensive preview of VU's Sept. 16 opponent. 

Chris Lee and Seabass discuss a variety of football-related topics, including the addition of UNLV to the football schedule (about the three-minute mark) the departure of Cole Hardin and what that means for the offensive line (six), the likely, late addition of a big-time recruit to the 2017 football class (21) and what winning and staff continuity have meant for Vanderbilt football. 

Between recruiting and players already on campus, this could be the beginning of a very, very good era for Vanderbilt men's basketball, and Chris Lee, Blake Lovell and David Sisk talk about it. Topics include the recruitment of Darius Garland (times are approximate; it's at about the six-minute mark), SEC recruiting (13), the reputation of the Drew family in recruiting (14), what coaches talk to players about in recruiting (31), Vanderbilt's back-court for the coming season (35), VU's front-court for the coming season (39), tips on electronic babysitting (42), the evolution of college basketball (47), why Bruce Pearl hasn't had more success at Auburn (52) and brief thoughts on the order of finish in the Southeastern Conference this year (55). 

Strange things have happened when Vanderbilt and MTSU play. VandySports.com publisher Chris Lee and GoMiddle.com publisher Casey Bowman take a closer look at MTSU and explain why we could see 80, maybe more, points scored on opening night. 

Chris Lee and Seabass hit a bunch of topics in a 1:03 podcast including some of the ridiculous things that happen at SEC Media Days, comparisons between Vanderbilt and Tennessee at various positions (around the 17-minute mark), how Jay Cutler's recruitment might have unfolded differently if he'd played 15 years later (31), the relevance of Hackensack, N.J. to Vandy football (and a light-hearted movie discussion to follow), Seabass's SEC picks (38), quarterback instability in the SEC last year, and finally, who's the SEC's best coach behind Nick Saban (57). 

Athlon's executive editor and Vanderbilt sideline reporter Mitch Light joins the podcast, as he and host Chris Lee break down all seven Southeastern Conference Eastern Division teams. 

Host Chris Lee and The Tennessean's Adam Sparks (he covers the Vanderbilt beat) talk about what it's really like covering Vanderbilt behind the scenes. The two also talk about a bunch of stuff, including Adam's breaking the news that Alonzo Jones is playing center field in summer ball (and what that means), Vanderbilt's immediate and future baseball outlook and the mood in and around that program, various Derek Mason- and Bryce Drew-related topics, more developments on the soccer stadium that could be the future home for VU football, thoughts on the Vandy-MTSU matchup in the football opener, and much more. It's our longest podcast ever (about an hour and 45 minutes), and one you don't want to miss!

Chris Lee and Seabass talk VU football recruiting on the heels of the Max Worship commitment, plus, talk about the indefinite suspensions given to Frank Coppet, Tae Daley and Donaven Tennyson. 

Vanderbilt got two more football commitments over the weekend, and a few more could pop from there. Chris Lee and Sean Williams give the latest, plus, share initial reactions to the story involving a pair of Commodores who sustained injuries after a Monday night shooting in Nashville. 

Chris Lee and Seabass discuss Vanderbilt's football recruiting momentum, and the impact that may have for basketball at well (hint: Darius Garland). The two discuss some football-related topics, plus, add some info on athletic director David Williams's future at Vanderbilt.
