Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars from 25 ratings
  • Not quite 5 stars….

    I would love the content to be ready when I get up the morning after it happened. For instance, the Commodore Hour from last night, January 23rd being ready to stream this morning. As of 4:00, 4 hours before Stack’s boys take on the dreaded UK Hun, that episode is still not available. It’s not good to have the episode be outdated before it is available, which happens too often. Love the content-Thank you, Andrew, Kevin, and all the Vandy coaches and players-but it needs to be available sooner!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Football Recap: 28-9 Win vs. Austin Peay
Q: What were the key reasons for the two-quarterback approach this game?
The coaches aimed to evaluate both quarterbacks, build rhythm, and integrate a young player into the offense while assessing how the offense and chemistry would develop, with a plan to avoid players looking over their shoulders.

Vanderbilt at SEC Football Media Days
Q: Junior, what did last year's 10-win season mean to you personally, and what flashbulb memory stands out from that year?
The memory centers on the overall confidence and momentum from finishing with 10 wins, plus the emotional moment of fans celebrating at Neyland Stadium, which cemented a belief in the team's potential.
Vanderbilt at SEC Football Media Days
Q: From Commissioner Sankey, what's been the most unique, interesting and perhaps impressive thing about the way Vanderbilt has been able to grow and find success over the past 12 to 24 months?
Sankey highlights leadership across programs, strong collaboration with university leadership, and strategic facility plans as the core drivers of Vanderbilt's growth and ongoing success.
Vanderbilt Bowling Coach John Williamson
Q: As a coach with 22 years under your belt, how early can you tell whether a group will click and perform well together?
In my experience you can usually sense chemistry by November; if the team collaborates and the dynamics feel cohesive, you're likely to see them grow into a strong unit that can compete at a high level.
