On Episode 26 of the Hustler Sports 30 podcast, sports editor Justin Hershey and deputy sports editors Sam Curtis and Andrew Wilf dive into what went wrong for the VandyBoys this past weekend against Tennessee. They begin the conversation by discussing the rivalry between the teams, analyzing whether it can even be categorized as a rivalry based on the past 20 years of results. Next they debate what has to change to jump-start a quiet Commodore batting order, give their takes on Vanderbilt’s midweek thumping of Austin Peay and preview a road series against Auburn this weekend.
