Two Deep: Hokies Under The Influence

After a bit of a layoff, Billy Ray was itching to get back on the mic. So in this Sons x Two Deep crossover episode, he and Pete came up with some of the biggest questions for ACC football heading into the next season and let them rip. The guys also came up with some half-baked "fixes" for college football - some common sense things, things that could help generate interest, and maybe some extremely implausible things that would be just plain fun.

Pete and Robert Irby break down the most difficult matchups on VT's 2025 schedule before talking Quarterbacks. At the end of the show, the guys give their favorite over/under plays on ACC win totals.

Pete is back from vacation and the guys have a lot to catch you up on. From the 9 football transfers, to Metallica's epic visit to Blacksburg, to the diamond sports competing for the postseason, and even to what's happening in Hahn Hurst, there's been a ton going on within VT athletics this month.

Sam fills in as the main host with contributors Robert Irby and Brett Smith. The fellas talk spring portal news for football and men's basketball, some college football hot takes for next season, and Metallica coming to Blacksburg. TWODEEPVT at Rhoback.com for 20% off your order when you sign up!

Pete and Sam host a live-stream of the NFL Draft with special guests. In addition to draft updates, the guys discuss the Hokies prospects in great detail. There's also in-depth analysis on the Browns, Panthers, Steelers, Commanders, and Eagles from our Sons team members.

Sam goes into the recap blind and asks Pete to explain the Spring Game to him. From the atmosphere, to the players that stood out, to the schemes, the guys cover it all before getting into the On3 article from last week. You know, the one that skewered the last 15-20 years of VT football infrastructure? Yup, that one. Finally, the Nico saga is discussed, along with some big picture CFB stuff. Packed episode.

The boys were back in town! That's right, voices from your favorite Hokies podcasts once again gathered at a Blacksburg watering-hole to talk about the Spring Game. This time, it was a post-game show, which may have been a bad idea as a full VT game day will get after ya. Despite a couple of the boys being tipsy, the show was a blast! They, of course, discussed what happened in the game, but they also voiced their concerns about QB1, and they had to get into the scathing On3 article about Tech football's decline that came about last week. Fair warning: there's quite a bit of foul language in this one - it's not Pete and Sam's normal buttoned-up show - which some people out there might like. Hope you enjoy it.

Kolby Crawford from VT Scoop and 247Sports.com joins Pete and Sam to break down all the latest news coming out of Hokies Spring Practice. With the Spring Game just days away, the boys ask the tough questions about QB1 and get progress updates at every position. There are so many new faces it's created a bit of a different feel around Merryman... though, it's still unclear whether the vibe change will lead to results this fall.

In this episode, legendary color analyst Mike Burnop joins Pete, Sam, and Pat for an in-depth interview. Mike discusses the current state of the VT football team, what's at stake for Pry in 2025, his career in broadcasting, and, finally, the guys ask Mike about his playing days. It's a must listen for any Hokie die-hard.

In this episode, Pete and Sam discuss the reports coming out of spring practice. The guys get you updated on everything Coach Pry had to say after the first few sessions, and Pete asks Sam 5 burning questions about the roster. The conversation then shifts to basketball, where AD Whit Babcock had some interesting comments regarding how the program was funded. You're going to want to stick around for this.

Pete and Sam welcome multiple guests to get you up to speed on Hokies Athletics. First Ed gives his thoughts on the Cal game and what's next for Mike Young and Co. as they approach the offseason. Next up, Brian goes in-depth on what the Hokies did down in Durham on Sunday - winning their first ACC wrestling tournament in 6 years!

In this episode, the guys cover the newest additions to the football staff, what Tuten and Co. did at the NFL Combine, the settlement between the ACC and their problem children, along with basketball, baseball, and softball. It's a packed show!

It was a great weekend for the Hokies! Pete and Sam are joined by Ed Williams to go around the horn on VT sports. The boys cover just about everything - wrestling, basketball, baseball, softball, and yes, even some final notes on the offensive coordinator hire. They even squeeze in some beer reviews. Cheers!

Bill, Pete, and Sam are back with another crossover episode to break down the hiring of Philip Montgomery. This news threw Hokienation for a bit of a loop as the rumors around Christian Taylor had been swirling for days. Montgomery brings a ton of experience to Blacksburg, both as a play-caller and a QB coach.

Sam and Pete talk with Billy Ray Mitchell to discuss the surprise departure of Virginia Tech OC Tyler Bowen to Ohio State.

Robert Irby joins Pete and Sam to discuss the hiring of Sam Siefkes as VT's defensive coordinator. A relative unknown, Coach Siefkes is a bit of a risky hire with high upside. The full 2025 football schedule was also just released this week and the guys share their observations.
