Well folks. Here we are. Just as surprised and lost and shocked and excited and afraid as you. We brought in nearly everyone tonight to let it out on the podcast. Please forgive the mixed levels of audio quality. We here at STL are just going to work through this in real time - come listen and work through it with us. Coach Mendenhall has decided to step down from his position at UVA and there are a lot of emotions attached to that. We also talk a little about the tech game. Who knows, folks? Who knows.

Back this week on the pod: Caroline! Darns joins Pierce again to chat about the recent basketball victories over Georgia and Providence - what have we seen in these wins that give us optimism for the rest of the season? The offense is clearly running through two of the newer Hoos - will that continue? With all the early season tinkering and growing pains, it's clear the road to success is coming together for Tony Bennett's team. The crew (duo) also talk about the football team's loss to Pitt, how gosh darn amazing Brennan Armstrong is, and look at the big rivalry game coming up on Saturday. Seems like the only reason to predict a Hokie's victory is the ghosts of the Commonwealth Clash...and...well maybe something more concrete? We've got some notes, for sure.

Tune in to Pierce and Zach this week as they welcome Caroline back on the pod for thoughts on the basketball team's rough start and the daunting challenges facing the Virginia football team. The crew run through the ups and downs through men's basketball's first three games - we know in general what's gone wrong, but what could we see Coach Bennett employee to fix these issues? What in the personnel of this team lends itself to immediate adjustments or possible improvements? They also discuss football's loss to Notre Dame, continue to fret about the defense, and how the road games have been a bigger issue for that unit than game's in Scott Stadium. Remember...Pitt and VT are all that stand between the Hoos and another ACC championship game appearance. Can the Hoos claim the first of those wins this weekend? Oh, they also lament the VT football interim coaching appointment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Pierce and Zach are back this week with another very special guest: ESPN's Mike Golic Jr! Mike, of course, is a Notre Dame alum and he stops by the pod to help us detail Notre Dame's football season so far - their standing in the national landscape, the ups and downs of their season, and the strengths and weaknesses that they'll be bringing to Charlottesville. The crew chat about Brennan Armstrong, how doubtful they are in his availability for the weekend, and what that obviously means for the Hoos and the game. Mike shares a lot of great details on the ND team, what UVA fans can expect, and what the team would need to do to pull off the upset. They also get into the state of the ACC, the Coastal Division race, and how things might shake out towards the end of the regular season for both teams. Learn more about your ad choices.

Pierce and Zach are back this week - joined by ANOTHER ZACH - as their special guest. Zachary Carter (UVA alum and author of The Price of Peace: Money, Democracy and the Life of John Maynard Keynes) joins the podcast this week to chat about the Hoos' upcoming men's basketball season and share his thoughts on the football team's painful loss to BYU. The crew go over yet another deflating performance by the football team's defense, laud the gutsy display of Brennan Armstrong and the offense, and reflect on the the work in ACC play still ahead for the team. Certainly a lot hinge's on Armstrong's health of course, and they discuss what was so disheartening about that late game injury. In brighter news, the crew jump into deeper thoughts on the basketball team's roster - its litany of questions they're excited to see answers too and the way the ACC and its schedule could play out.

Pierce and Zach are back this week to talk about how smart they are. Ok ok really just to discuss the 4 game winning streak that they pretty much predicted and how Brennan Armstrong and the UVA football team's offense are rolling through ACC play after the pair of disappointing losses earlier in the year. Can the team keep it up? This week presents an unusual challenge in a road trip to BYU Saturday night. The duo break down what's going so well for the Virginia team and what fans can expect out of the Cougars (and their possible QB shuffle?) Additionally, there's a new name in basketball recruiting on the horizon...and perhaps some good news on the way pretty soon? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Pierce and Zach are back this week to breakdown the UVA football's big win over Duke last week and preview the Georgia Tech matchup coming up on Saturday. Now that the team really has a winning streak going, how do we see things shaking out as we get closer to the November (much more difficult) schedule? The Coastal title is very much alive (Go Clemson, Saturday) - but bowl eligibility is nearly here as well. If GT is the easiest remaining game on the schedule, then the Hoos have a big chance to solidify themselves as contenders again with a win this weekend. The duo also talk a little more about the upcoming basketball season - and breakdown the men's team's Blue and White Scrimmage held over the weekend. What can you really take away from it besides excitement? There's plenty to speculate on and the duo chat some about the different roles different players can bring in the front court as we count the days to next month's season opener.

Pierce and Zach are back today to chat about the recent streak of last-second wins for the Hoos! While the team owes plenty to opposing team's kickers - there's plenty to like about how the team has rebounded from the blowout losses to grab a couple of conference wins. Obviously the play of Brennan Armstrong at QB has had a lot to do with the wins, but the defense stepping up in critical moments has been a nice development as well. The duo discuss the depth at the wideout position, how the running game has come into focus a little, and where things stand for the team going into tomorrow's match against Duke. They also talk a little bit about the basketball team's upcoming season and starting lineup possibilities. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
