Season 4, Episode 6: Rising and Shining

On this week’s episode of Live From West End, Sports Editor Henry Oelhafen and Sports Podcast Producer Tristan Rutman get things started by talking about then-No. 20 Vanderbilt Football's 70-21 thrashing of Georgia State before moving to preview the team's final nonconference game against Utah State. They also go through the newly released SEC slate for the next four seasons and analyze the rise to No. 18 in the Week 4 AP Poll. The two hosts then move to discussing the Commodores' first SEC victory in soccer against No. 24 Oklahoma, and the team's jump from No. 17 to No. 13 in the United Soccer Coaches Poll. After previewing a matchup with Texas on Friday night, the duo transitions to the state of affairs in the volleyball world, where the team was victorious against UC Irvine this past weekend, as they prepare to travel to Texas for a two-game road trip against two top-15-ranked teams. They wrap up the episode with a new segment called "Who Said That?", pulling some historic quotes from all-time figures in Vanderbilt Athletics, and trying to identify who said them.
