Two Deep: Hokies Under The Influence

IT'S GAME WEEK! Finally, the season has arrived and the guys couldn't be more excited. In this episode Robbie and Pete are joined by Jonathan French from thekeyplay.com to discuss VT's offensive and defensive schemes. After the interview, they tell you what to look for in the opener against Liberty, and if you can make it to the end, you'll hear picks ATS for this weekend's awesome slate of games. Here's hoping for 1-0, GO HOKIES!

The 2016 Season Preview marks the start of year two for Two Deep. Robbie and Pete provide all the latest Hokie news and analyze the roster position-by-position. Record predictions, points per game, and general goals for the O and D are also discussed. The expectations for this year have been mixed, but the guys are optimistic. It should be an exciting first year in the new era of Hokie football.

In this episode the guys speak with Athlon Sports' Braden Gall. Braden provides insight on the preview mag's creation process, as well as some predictions for the upcoming season. Other topics include the Battle at Bristol, VT's quarterback situation, and the ACC potentially going to 9 games. After the interview, stick around for some Hokie recruiting news and what to look for in fall camp, which starts Thursday 8/4/16.

In a continuation of last episode, the guys finish previewing VT's 2016 opponents. They cover Duke, GT, Notre Dame, and UVA.

With the 2016 season about 50 days away, the guys dive deep into the second half of the Hokies schedule. Recruiting is the hot topic on social media, and it's been a bit of a cruel, cruel summer for VT; Robbie and Pete offer some perspective before getting into their Miami and Pitt previews.

It's the slowest part of the offseason, but the Two Deep guys don't take the summer off. In this episode Pete and Robbie take a look at the first half of the 2016 Virginia Tech football schedule. If you stick around all the way to the end (it's a long one), you'll hear Robbie fail miserably at VT trivia.

The title says it all. Robbie and Pete cover all the latest Hokie news and then dive as deep as they can into Fuente's first spring in Blacksburg. The spring "game" gets broken down, and the guys discuss which players they thought took a step forward. If you're really bored, stick around for Hokie trivia at the end of the show!

Dan Wolken of USA Today joins the guys to discuss the state of the VT Football program and what Coach Fuente's impact will be. Topics included recruiting, player development, and on-field expectations for 2016. There was even some Buzzketball talk at the end. This is a must-listen episode, Hokies.

Spring has got the guys sprung! There's a lot of excitement surrounding both the VT basketball and football programs these days. Pete and Robbie discuss the incredible end-of-the-season run for Hokie Hoops, as well as the raised expectations for 2016-2017. Spring football practice is also officially underway. Who will step up their game and contribute next year? Who's our QB going to be? Why isn't the spring game on TV? You've gotta listen to find out the "answers" to these very important questions. 

The guys are back! Robbie and Pete cover all the things that have been going on with the Hokies this winter. From the Bowl win, to National Signing Day, to the 2016 schedule, no stone is left unturned. They even talk some hoops! Now grab a drink and turn up the volume.

In this episode, the guys discuss the new coaching staff, Fuente's recruiting, and the Hokies' bid to the Independence Bowl. It doesn't get much better than Shreveport, Louisiana in December... oh wait, I'm thinking of ANYWHERE else. From the disappointing Bowl to delicious winter beers, Pete and Robbie cover it all. Happy Holidays from Two Deep!

Pete channelled his inner Soulja Boy to celebrate the win over UVA. Turn your Hokie swag on, people.

Hokies win! Yes, that's right, VT beat UVA for the 12th straight year and the guys are pumped about it. Saturday also marked the hiring of a new head football coach in Blacksburg, Justin Fuente. Robbie and Pete offer their thoughts on the news and what it means for the Hokies going forward. Also, bowl possibilities are tossed around and championship game picks are made. Check it out, you won't be sorry.

IT'S HATE WEEK! The guys recap the tough loss to UNC, but, more importantly, talk about the matchup with rival UVA. A win means bowl eligibility; a loss would mean a sad ending for Frank. Just like your annoying relatives at the dinner table, Pete and Robbie don't hold anything back. Happy Thanksgiving, listeners!

This episode focuses on the big win down in Atlanta and previews Frank's last home game versus UNC. The Hokies can become bowl eligible with a win this weekend, and the importance of the game is not lost on the guys. Stick around until the end for ACC picks as well as "college story time", where Robbie gives us the final installment of the Brendon trilogy.

This song was obviously made in honor of Frank's upcoming retirement. The beat is from "Right Above It" by Lil Wayne and Drake.

In this week's episode, the guys take a look at VT's season stats before previewing GT. It seems Dogfish Head beers are the perfect compliment to cursing the triple option. ACC picks are also made. It's just Pete and Robbie this week (no fun guests), deal with it.

In part two of this monster podcast, Joe and the guys discuss the top candidates to replace Frank. They each give their favorites, as well as some sleeper candidates you may not have thought of. Robbie also interviews Joe about what's going on over at The Key Play, how he built and maintains that community, and what TKP has in store for its readers over the next few months. Really, really good stuff if you're a fan of the site.

In part one of this two part podcast, Joe Lanza, editor of thekeyplay.com, joins the guys to help them break down the win over BC and the announcement that Head Coach Frank Beamer will retire at the end of the season. They discuss what Frank means to the program, the legacy he leaves behind, and how the VT job looks to the outside.

Addazio, bad offense, and good defense; that's what BC is this year. The guys talk about their playmakers and give their keys to the game.
