Whew, that was a close one! Things got a little dicey down in Durham on Saturday, but the Hokies got the W.

Pitt Preview

October 25, 2016 16:08 - 28 minutes

Pete and Robbie both gush about James Conner, and give plenty of reasons to be fearful of Heinz field, which has proven to be too big a hurdle for the Hokies in years past. If VT can finally beat the Panthers at home, the rest of the season could be special.

Miami Recap

VICTORY! VT got a huge bounce-back win against the Hurricanes on Thursday night, 37-16. Pete and Robbie are beyond pumped in this episode, enjoying themselves quite a bit while recording on site at The Rivermill.

After recapping what went wrong, Pete and Robbie put lipstick on a pig suggesting that this loss can be used for motivation going into Miami.

October 11, 2016 17:50 - 1 hour

VT 34, UNC 3. In Chapel Hill. Wow. The guys are riding high after the blowout win over the Tar Heels. Tech loves the slop and it showed.

The picks ATS reflect that.

UNC Preview with Joe Lanza

October 06, 2016 16:49 - 1 hour

Liberty Recap / Tennessee Preview

September 07, 2016 17:13 - 1 hour
