Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars from 26 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 It’s not good to have the episode be outdated before it is available, which happens too often.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.

Commodore Hour - Arkansas Week
Q: You're talking about penalties, and that's been an issue throughout the season. 11 for 92 yards on Saturday. I know you can't just snap your fingers and it's all gone, but is there a way to build that discipline and limit those things?
Lea distinguishes difficult-to-avoid penalties from controllable errors, including post-whistle conduct, alignment, blocking and jumping the snap. He says coaches must demand accountability and players must take ownership.
Commodore Hour - Arkansas Week
Q: Saturday was tough after having a chance to look at it all. What's your approach with the teams? You start a new week here.
Lea says reviewing the game made him more disappointed, citing problems with organization, execution and effort. He is challenging the team and staff to deepen their process and correct repeated mistakes.
Arkansas Week- VU Men's Basketball Coach Mark Byington
Q: What's the most challenging about putting together a new team almost every year and just getting guys to gel and be ready to go for this season?
Byington calls the roster-building process exhausting because of its time demands, stress and the consequences of mistakes. He hopes to rely on fewer additions in future seasons and says he wants the current players to return.
Arkansas Week- VU Men's Basketball Coach Mark Byington
Q: How much progress do you feel like the group's made from the game in Charleston to now where you've had a few weeks of practice here?
Byington says the team first focused on skill development and film after returning from the Virginia game, then intensified practice and concentrated on correcting a few specific weaknesses.
Commodore Hour - Ole Miss Week
Q: What stood out about the Georgia game and how it affects Vanderbilt going into Ole Miss?
The game showed Georgia's overall superiority and the importance of clean play and fewer penalties; Vanderbilt can still build momentum by fixing consistency, cutting errors, and leveraging key players like Cheryl and Jones as they prepare for Ole Miss.
