As Vanderbilt students return to campus for the Fall 2023 semester, Sports Editor Andrew Wilf and Deputy Sports Editor Aiden Rutman hit the podcast studio to preview Vanderbilt Football’s Week Zero matchup against Hawaii. The two discuss the high-octane potential that the Commodore’s offense boasts, key matchups and players to look for in Saturday’s clash, and some hot takes for the coming season on “Hotter than Chicken,” a brand new, hot-take style weekly segment. The beloved “Anything but Vandy” segment makes its return as the duo touch on family traditions regarding first days of school and cotton candy grapes. They wrap things up with a recap of soccer’s first two matches and a prediction for Football’s home-opener.
