Vanderbilt embarrasses itself in a 52-17 loss to Ole Miss
Terrible offense, defense and special teams. Sloppy and careless play. You name it, it was present in Vanderbilt's 52-17 loss to Ole Miss in a game that was competitive for about five minutes. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and…
more -

-
Monday thoughts on Vanderbilt's loss at Georgia
Topics include: Jared Curtis's health. Vanderbilt was never going to win, but it was competitive until some breaks went the other way and Georgia's better roster took over in the second half. Maybe letting Blaze Berlowitz play some receiver is a better idea than we thought? Ja'Cory Thomas shows...
-
Vanderbilt at Georgia preview: Is Kirby Smart out for blood?
Topics include: The return of Jared Curtis to the place where he was committed for a year and a half--what could happen? Turnovers will be key if Vanderbilt is to make it interesting. Georgia has 16 guys who've scored offensive touchdowns. Georgia's defense is led by a pair of outstanding...
-
Thoughts on Clark Lea's Tuesday presser and the exhibition hoops win
Topics include: What stood out from Clark Lea's Tuesday press conference. Is Jared Curtis a little banged up? What Luke liked about the basketball scrimmage win about Georgia, and some observations on a good bit of the roster. We take your mailbag questions. And more! Hosted by Simplecast, an...
-
POSTGAME SHOW: Auburn 21, Vanderbilt 15
Topics include: The offense keeps starting slowly as the first-half play calling is (again) conservative. Saturday's game was lost by penalties and bad special teams play. The defense played well enough to win. The offensive line wasn't good and was again responsible for key penalties. We didn't...
-
Previewing Vanderbilt's game at Auburn
Topics include: Kyle breaks down where Auburn is--what's not working, what can get better, etc. Kyle talks about the potential problems Vanderbilt can cause Auburn offensively and defensively. What went wrong for the Tigers in the Florida game? How quarterback Byrum Brown could be used on…
more -
A look back at the NC State win, plus, Clark Lea's Tuesday press conference before Auburn

more -
Reflections on Vanderbilt football three days after the opener
Topics include: More on the quarterback situation between Blaze Berlowitz and Jared Curtis, including thoughts on who might start and/or play more time this week. Sometimes the first few weeks aren't indicative of what a football team is (good or bad), with 2017 Vanderbilt as an example. The...
-
POSTGAME: Vanderbilt 28, Austin Peay 9
It wasn't Vanderbilt's best night, but it was a win in a week with one massive upset and a few near-misses elsewhere. Evaluating Jared Curtis and Blaze Berlowitz and the spots they were used in. The offensive line and defensive backfield weren't great. Special teams was terrific and so was the...
-
Previewing the Austin Peay game and the things we'll watch
Topics include: Why this game could be closer than you think, but, Vanderbilt's depth could be a separator in the end. Austin Peay may be an FCS team, but it would be favored against at least one FBS opponent that another Southeastern Conference team faces this week. The defense should be better,...
-
Which players will see the field for the season opener vs. Austin Peay?
At quarterback, what does the snap split between Blaze Berlowitz and Jared Curtis (and their stat lines) look like? Sedrick Alexander, MK Young and Evan Hampton should share carries on opening night. A large number of receivers should play. Will Cole Adams be one of them? And who's a potential...
-

The media didn't get to see the last week of fall camp--hear Lea's thoughts on how that went. Lea's thoughts on players Gabe Fisher, Cole Spence and Bryan Longwell. His thoughts on the continuing transfer portal chaos and the stance the Southeastern Conference presidents took this week. What...

-
Why Blaze Berlowitz will be Vanderbilt's starter for the Austin Peay game
Topics include: About that narrative that said "It was always going to be Jared Curtis's job." Throw out emotion and use common sense: A football coach's job is to win games and the best way to do that is use players best equipped for the job. Curtis's talent isn't lost on the coaching staff. The...
-
The latest on Berlowitz vs. Curtis and fall camp in Week 3
Topics include: Some of the narrative around Berlowitz's play has been unfair to Berlowitz for various reasons. Where Berlowitz has been better and where Curtis has started to gain ground. Does anything about the quarterback debate cause a locker room issue? Does Vanderbilt have a wide receiver...
-
Fall camp review, Curtis vs. Berlowitz, more
Topics include: The overall team depth. It's hard to tell how backups settle at a lot of spots, particularly at defensive line, receiver and safety. Practices have been mostly clean. There are a few positional battles that could be up for grabs--and not just quarterback. A few guys who've really...
-
Will Jared Curtis start? The baseball roster is settled; more
Topics include: Is Curtis the starter or is there a real battle between he and Blaze Berlowitz? Why hasn't there been more talk about Curtis in the mainstream Southeastern Conference football narrative? Vanderbilt, as expected, got James Tronstein through the draft; could he compete for a job…
more -
Vanderbilt has a spectacularly-successful 2026 MLB Draft--and it might get better
The Commodores got several truly elite high-school signees through the draft as recruiting coordinator Ty Blankmeyer did phenomenal work. But one player who was drafted, plus another elite signee who was picked, are both likely to be at Vanderbilt next season. There are two commonalities of…

Topics include: Where the Commodores could go next in the transfer portal for baseball. The college sports climate and where it's going next, including the significance of Texas Tech challenging the system. Football win-loss expectations for next year. And more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz...
-
Vanderbilt baseball lands big fish in the transfer portal
Topics include: Coombs, Brini and Ward figure to be immediate starters. Luke Guth has hit the transfer portal. How Vanderbilt could have more than 34 players on next year's roster. How many of the 23 signees will get through the draft? We answer your mailbag questions, including a discussion of...

more -
The fog hanging over Vanderbilt baseball
Topics discussed: The Southeastern Conference's statement misrepresented about Friday's overturned home run mis-represented the call on the field, but because the decision was couched in replay review, by definition, there was nothing Tim Corbin or Vanderbilt could do to overturn it. We can't…
more -
A make-or-break three weeks for Vanderbilt baseball

-
An eventual week for Vanderbilt football, baseball and basketball

more -

Topics include: Was Vanderbilt falling down four runs and coming back to win what the team needed? Statistically, the team is several wins better than its 11-7 mark, which indicates some hope... ... if the pitching can come through (and parts have gotten somewhat better)... ... but the staff has…
more -

-
