Season 4, Episode 5: Familiar Faces and Familiar Foes

On this week’s episode of Live From West End, Sports Editor Henry Oelhafen and Sports Podcast Producer Tristan Rutman bring in a familiar guest, former Sports Editor Aiden Rutman, to talk about the current state of Vanderbilt Sports. The trio begins by breaking down a dominant 31-7 victory against then-No. 11-ranked South Carolina for the No. 20-ranked Commodores in football before moving to preview a repeat of last year's matchup against Georgia State. They discuss No. 17 Vanderbilt's lukewarm start to conference play in soccer with two scoreless draws against LSU and No. 10 Arkansas before transitioning to preview a home matchup with No. 24 Oklahoma. The three progress into talking about Vanderbilt Volleyball's losses during a California road trip and look ahead to hosting UC Irvine back in Memorial Gymnasium. To commemorate the episode's significance, they wrap up with a segment called "Mount Commodore" to crown the most influential moments and figures in the history of Vanderbilt Athletics.
