On Episode 7 of Live from West End, former Sports Editor Skip Bayless joins Sports Editor Aiden Rutman and Sports Podcast Producer Jonah Barbin for an extended conversation about football. Often lauded as the ‘Godfather of Debate,’ Bayless first talks about the academic standard that Vanderbilt Football holds itself to, as compared to the rest of the SEC. The group then highlights Diego Pavia’s superhuman efforts for the Commodores thus far this season and other notable stories from the rest of college football. After some rants about the Dallas Cowboys (and a preview of the rest of their schedule), Bayless offers insight into his creative process for The Skip Bayless Show and his favorite — and shocking — spot for dinner in Nashville.
