Before moving on to William & Mary, the guys stress the importance managing expectations over the next month. Stick around for ATS picks at the end. Man, does beating Florida State feel good!

College football season is finally here. Let's go, Hokies!

In this episode, Pete and Robbie preview the Hokies' first six 2018 opponents: FSU, W&M, ECU, ODU, Duke, and Notre Dame. Enjoy this first taste of the upcoming VT football season!

Supposedly, it's the offseason, but you wouldn't know it based on the flood of activity within the VT football program. Robbie and Pete rehash the Devyn Ford whiff, break down the now dire cornerback situation, and discuss the troubling rumors surrounding Josh Jackson. It's not all bad though, the recent success on the recruiting trail has helped swing momentum back in the right direction. A wild spring could turn into a crazy summer for the Hokies.

With spring practice wrapped up, and the NFL Draft in the rearview mirror, there was plenty of content for this episode. Robbie and Pete covered a lot of ground, breaking down the Galen Scott resignation, the history-making first night of the draft, and the spring game itself. The pod comes off the rails a bit around the hour mark, and is a little NSFW, but, hopefully, our more immature listeners find it enjoyable. Apologies in advance for those offended; just some goofing around after a couple beers... probably best to listen with a beverage of your own.

Jonathan French of thekeyplay.com returns to the podcast to discuss Virginia Tech's covert spring practices. Robbie and Pete prod him about position battles, emerging young talent, and what to expect from the Hokies in 2018. While the coaches have been cagey in response to recent questions, French was not, giving some real, up-front answers. Really good stuff in this one, enjoy!

The Hokies are going dancing, again! For the second straight season, coach Buzz Williams has Virginia Tech in the NCAA Tournament. In this episode, Robbie and Pete take an in-depth look at Tech's seeding and break down the opening round matchup vs. Alabama. Like last year, no. 1 seed Villanova will be waiting for the Hokies in the round of 32. Let's hope VT can get there this time.

The boys are back. After making you wait far too long for a new podcast, Pete and Robbie bring the heat recapping Virginia Tech's busy winter months. This episode covers the unbelievable stretch for the men's basketball team, National Signing Day and what it meant for our recruiting class, and takes an in-depth look at the 2018 football schedule. There's even a little combine/draft talk at the end (you know you're looking forward to Tim Settle's 40-yard dash). Enjoy!

This episode marks then end of the 2017 VT football season. Robbie and Pete recap Tech's performance in the Camping World Bowl and talk about the future of QB Josh Jackson. Since the game, multiple Hokies have announced an early jump to the the NFL; the guys discuss what it means for VT and where they may go in the 2018 draft. The men's basketball team is the subject of the final segment, and their recent play has, once again, raised the expectations of getting back to the big dance. It's going to be an interesting winter/spring for the Hokies, make sure to stay tuned to the podcast for all the latest news coverage.

Finally, stick around for a discussion about expensive beer and the last ATS picks of the season. Happy holidays to all of our loyal listeners out there, your support is much appreciated. Go Hokies!

Buzz Williams has the Hokies off to a hot start once again. With a record of 9-1 and dreams of getting back to the tournament, this sharp-shooting team will really find out what they're made of out in Lexington this weekend. Because of the magnitude of the matchup, Robbie and Pete felt it was necessary to preview the game in grand fashion. Downtown Crown Wine and Beer in Gaithersburg, MD provided the backdrop for this monster episode, and the results do not disappoint. Kentucky superfans Richard and Mike Drake help the guys breakdown the game in more detail than you ever could have wanted. They talk program history, Coach Cal, where this current UK team stands, and how they think VT will fair in Rupp Arena. Honestly, nothing gets held back; there's JMU bashing, Seth Greenberg bashing, Louisville bashing, Duke bashing, and, of course, UVA bashing. There's even a volatile beer break! It's really something, so, please, enjoy responsibly.

The committee has spoken. Virginia Tech finished the regular season at no. 22 in both the AP poll and CFP rankings. The guys recap championship weekend and react to VT's bowl matchup vs. Oklahoma State. They also officially announce that the VT-Kentucky Preview episode will be recorded at Downtown Crown Wine and Beer in Gaithersburg, MD on Saturday, December 9th starting at noon. Come on out and have a beer with us if you're in the area.

14 straight! The Hokies beat the 'hoos yet again, capping off a strong 2017 campaign. The guys recap the outstanding defensive performance and detail the sparse, but crucial, offensive highlights. Pete and Robbie also discuss their thoughts on the season as a whole, what next year's roster could look like, and potential Bowl destinations. Stick around for Championship weekend picks against the spread at the end, which includes four AP top-10 matchups. It was a season Tech fans should be proud of; the program is definitely trending up.

Goal-line stand FTW! Saturday's victory against Pitt produced one of the best moments in Lane Stadium history. Pete and Robbie recap every exciting detail before shifting their focus to Hate Week. That's right, the battle for the Commonwealth Cup starts at 8pm on Black Friday and the guys are just a little bit nervous. Here's hoping the Hokies can make it 14 straight over UVA.

The triple option strikes again. For the second year in a row, VT loses the Techmo Bowl in frustrating fashion. This episode is not for the faint of heart as the game provided plenty of unsettling moments for the guys to breakdown. Pitt is up next, and while the Panthers are not good, they are another opponent that historically gives Tech fits. It would be nice to see something from the offense going into the UVA game, otherwise the Hokies' winning streak could be in serious jeopardy come Black Friday. Buckle up, the 2017 season may have a bumpy finish.

That one hurt. Unfortunately, the Hokies have now contributed to "the U is back" narrative. Pete and Robbie recap the dismal showing against Miami and try to put it behind them before previewing Georgia Tech. There's no time to pout as the triple option demands our full attention. With plenty left to play for, let's hope the team comes out angry and pulls off the win down in Atlanta.

Here we go again. With a definitive victory over Duke, the Hokies are primed for their third big game of the 2017 season. Joe Lanza from The Key Play joins the guys to discuss the VT's 7-1 start, and preview the match-up vs. the undefeated Miami Hurricanes. Both teams have CFB playoff aspirations, and the Coastal title is very much on the line. This game could also act as a springboard for the VT-Miami rivalry to re-enter the national spotlight. Grab a beer and get your popcorn ready, this is going to be a good one.
