On episode 11 of Live from West End, Deputy Sports Editor Frankie Sheehy joins Sports Editor Andrew Wilf and Deputy Sports Editor Aiden Rutman in the podcast studio to discuss a busy week in Nashville. The three start with a discussion about Vanderbilt Soccer’s brutal loss to Tennessee last week, which pushed it outside the top-10 of the SEC standings and ended its season. Afterwards, they talk about the VandyBoys’ recent scrimmage against Wake Forest and what the new-look Commodores have in store in the spring. They then move on to discuss what went wrong in football’s loss to Ole Miss last weekend, and whether Clark Lea is the right coach to lead the program.
