Vandy247 Podcast

From start to finish, there wasn't much to be happy with in a 37-14 loss to South Carolina. Chris Lee and Mitch Light give some credit to the Gamecocks, then discuss some things they didn't like from a VU standpoint, as well as look back at moments of resiliency during the Derek Mason era.

Vanderbilt radio play-by-play man Joe Fisher joins the podcast to talk about the Notre Dame loss, give his thoughts on the season so far (including what's surprised him) and gives his keys to beating South Carolina.

Between the AD vacancy, potential hoops recruiting success ahead and  a huge, winnable conference football game days ahead, Vanderbilt athletics may be on the verge of better things. Chris Lee and Seabass discuss what has become a very interesting football season, and more.

The Commodores prepare for a huge game with South Carolina. Chris Lee and color commentator Norman Jordan discuss that, as well as good and bad things from the Notre Dame game. Also, do the Las Vegas odds on VU's recent games say something about the Commodores?

Vanderbilt lost 22-17 to Notre Dame in a game where it out-played Notre Dame in some respects. The Commodores missed some opportunities, and some personnel-selection questions linger, but, after three games, there are a number of signs that this may be a good football team. Chris Lee and VU sideline announcer Mitch Light discuss in Monday's podcast.

Southeastern Conference commissioner Greg Sankey joined our podcast to talk about the contributions of Vanderbilt's outgoing athletic director, David Williams. Sankey reflects on how Vanderbilt athletics rose throughout Williams's tenure and what Williams meant to the league behind the scenes. The commissioner also talks about how coveted the AD position at VU is. It's a can't-miss, special edition of the VandySports podcast.

David Williams has stepped down, and even with all the negative publicity of the last six weeks over its lack of commitment to sports, Vanderbilt still has at least one tremendous outside candidate interested in the job. This presents an opportunity for chancellor Nick Zeppos, who now has the opportunity to make a home-run hire, to silence his critics. Chris Lee and Seabass discuss that, as well as an impressive start to the football season that has raised their eyebrows thus far.

Vanderbilt color commentator Norman Jordan looks back to the Nevada game and picks out some things he liked there, and looks ahead a bit to Notre Dame. Plus, Norman shares a few anecdotes about going head to head with two of the greatest defensive players in football history.

USA Today sports columnist and Vanderbilt alum Dan Wolken joins the podcast to give his thoughts on the career of David Williams, and how attractive the VU AD job is now that it's open. Wolken talks about what lies ahead and names a few candidates who might be worthy of consideration.

After two games, Vanderbilt ranks 23rd in Bill Connolly's S&P rankings. Why is that, and what should we make of it? Chris Lee and Mitch Light discuss that, VU's 41-10 win over Nevada, take mailbag questions, and attempt to power rank the SEC East.
