It’s a loaded Thursday on SportsIQ — championship baseball, a college football Cinderella story, and a coaching carousel spinning out of control.Larry opens with the latest from the World Series, where the Toronto Blue Jays move within one win of glory. Rookie sensation Trey Yesavage fans 12 Dodgers — a World Series record for a first-year pitcher — as Toronto wins 6-1 to take a 3-2 lead. Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts can’t buy a hit, and now the defending champs head north needing two straight wins to survive.Then, Henry Oelhafen returns with the story of the season — Vanderbilt Commodores football, 7-1 and ranked in the Top 10 for the first time since 1947. He and Larry break down Clark Lea’s turnaround, Diego Pavia’s Heisman-worthy campaign, and this weekend’s showdown with Texas Longhorns. Can the Commodores keep the dream alive and crash the playoff party?Next, Scott Roche joins to dissect a wild week in coaching news. From James Franklin’s firing at Penn State Nittany Lions to the uncertainty surrounding Lane Kiffin, Brian Kelly, and Eli Drinkwitz, the SEC and Big Ten landscapes are shifting fast. Scott explains how NIL money, early transfer windows, and buy-out insanity have turned the modern coaching cycle into an arms race — and why Clark Lea’s loyalty to his alma mater might be the exception, not the rule.Larry and producer Tony wrap with Dodgers vs. Blue Jays, previewing Game 6 in Toronto, the improbable rise of rookie Yesavage, and the curse of repeat champions.
