Two Deep: Hokies Under The Influence

It's been a great week for the Hokies on the recruiting trail. The staff has landed four commitments since we last recorded with more, potentially, on the way. Pete and Sam break down the additions and discuss how the class is shaping up overall.

When QB1 and the Head Coach talk, we listen. In this episode, Pete and Sam discuss last week's interviews with the two most important Hokies before breaking down summer recruiting and the 2024 Athlon CFB Preview.

Hokies Analyst Jeron Gouveia-Winslow joins Pete for a Monday convo about everything going on behind the scenes in Blacksburg. From his days playing in the orange and maroon to coaching at VT now, JGW provides insight on how his personal football experience helps him teach the game to today's athletes. This was a lot of fun - Hokienation is lucky to have a coach like Jeron on our side.

Despite the Virginia Tech related news slowing to a trickle, the boys are pumped for the beginning of Preview Mag season. Pete and Sam tear into the Lindy's preview after talking about the recently released kickoff times for Vandy, ODU, and Marshall.

Sam is back from vacation and there's plenty to catch up on. Baseball and softball fell off a cliff, but some transfer talk quickly changes the tenor of this episode. Later in the show, the boys get into Bill Connelly's newest SP+ rankings before turning their attention to the ACC slate for 2024. With 17 conference teams, there are more games than ever to get excited about.

As finals wrap up across the country, we are reaching the slowest part of the offseason. Nevertheless, Pete and Sam are back to get you up to date on all the latest from Hahn Hurst, Merryman, English Field, etc. After hitting all the sports, the guys discuss Sam’s personal ACC power rankings.

It's draft day! Round 1 of the NFL draft starts tonight, and Pete and Sam are going live to talk Hokies as they follow along. The guys will get you up to date on VT's scholarship numbers and who they're targeting in the portal. They're also going to discuss which of our current players could be taken in next year's NFL draft.

Spring game weekend, or as it's known locally, Hokie Hi Weekend, is a celebration of Hokies athletics. In addition to the football program, so many of our teams are in action and being showcased - making it one of the best weekends on the VT calendar. In this episode, Pete and Sam chat with Coach Mike Holmes of the Hokie Hitter YouTube series. Mike provided great insight on the standout performances, offensive and defensive schemes, as well as position battles. His perspective, as a coach, was refreshing. This is a can't miss episode for any Hokie football junkie.

The second annual Spring Game Pregame Show was a blast! Two Deep, Boundary Corner, Tales from the Terrordome, VT4L, Treadmill Horse, Main Street Pharmacy, and, of course, the Sons of Saturday came together to break down every aspect of Hokies football prior to the 2024 VT Spring Game. Segments 1 & 2 were more business-like, getting into the nuts and bolts of the roster and the game. Segment 3 was a different story - Jeremy and the boys were letting it fly and hilarity ensued. Thanks to everyone who participated and to those who tuned in live. We appreciate your continued support.

Kolby Crawford from VT Scoop and 247 Sports joined Pete and Sam to discuss everything that's been going on at Hokies Spring practice. Position battles, stand-out players, guys who may be slipping down the depth chart, it's all here in this episode. After the conversation with Kolby, the guys turn to basketball, where things have been turned upside down for both the men and the women. Pete and Sam attempt to make sense of everything, and maybe even turn hopeful by the end of the show. Also, VT baseball rules.

It was an action-packed weekend for Hokies athletics. Our ladies were in action hosting the NCAA tournament, our wrestlers were battling for championships out in Kansas City, and our football program got a boost on the recruiting trail. Pete was joined by Mike McDaniel to get you up to speed on everything VT, and provide some perspective on the run Kenny Brooks and the women's basketball team have put together these past few years.

We did our first on-location pod of 2024 and it was a blast! Founder of Commonwealth Brewing Co., Jeramy Biggie, joined Pete for an interview about his life in the beer industry. From his start, to how he builds out his tap list, to what's next in craft brewing, he provided amazing insight. Next up was Ed Williams for thoughts on our basketball programs, and we finished the show talking football with our two Dans (Treadmill and Terrordome). All in all, it was a great time. Enjoy!

It was a busy weekend for Virginia Tech athletics - both basketball teams, wrestling, the diamond sports, etc. Pete and Sam get you caught up on everything before discussing their beers, as well as some of the football hype the #Hokies been getting the past few months.

After setting the field and deciding on the no. 1 seeds for VT's best win since 2000 in the previous episode, Pete, Sam, and Clark were joined by Pat, Hack, and Brett to finish assigning the bracket seeds. With so many different opinions, this was extremely difficult, but a ton of memories and fun stories were shared along the way.

It was a tough scene in Charlottesville on Sunday night. Georgia Amoore did her best to pick the team up after Liz Kitley had to leave the game, but it wasn't quite enough. Pete and Sam recap the week that was for Hokies basketball, from the highs of Gameday and the men coming back against Wake Forest, to the heartbreak against UVA.

The Hokies have had a lot of great wins over the past 23 seasons, but which one is the best? That's what this Memory Lane episode is all about. Pete and Clark compiled a list of 44 "big wins" for Tech from the post-Michael Vick era, and with the help of Sam and Devon, they trim that number down to 32 to fill out a Best Win bracket. Once the bubble is sorted out, the contenders for the four no. 1 seeds are revealed and the opinions start flying. We hope you have as much fun watching this episode as we did discussing these classic VT victories.

This was a huge week for Hokies basketball. The men's team smacked around Virginia, and the women earned a visit from ESPN's College Gameday thanks to their recent run. Pete and Sam were joined by Clark and Devon to cover all the latest news and drink some delicious brews.
