Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 44 ratings
  • Great Content but…

    Great content and would give it 5 stars if each episode wasn’t broken into several smaller PODS with the same intro/outro and large amount of ads. A lot of ffwding needed to get to the actual content. Can this be fixed? Hoping to stick w/ the show…

  • In-Depth Knowledge

    I was looking for shows this summer to learn more about G5 programs and this show was an excellent find. The host is very knowledgeable and the Worker Bee series I’ve been listening to that previews each program has been very informative and fun.

    If you want to expand beyond the Power 4 schools, this show is the perfect place to start.

  • Great Intel; But Mics Need Upgrade

    First off the guests they’re able to get for every G5 football program is really superb. The fantasy forward answers that the G5 Hive guys get for us CFB fantasy degenerates is excellent and comes in handy. Maybe better than anybody else out there in podcast form.

    My only critique would be the mics that they use be upgraded especially the guy who starts off each episode. Just really hard to discern what he’s saying…

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Old Dominion Monarchs Football Team Preview | G5 Hive Worker Bee Series
Q: Who should start game one against Norfolk State according to the guest?

San Jose State Spartans Football Team Preview | G5 Hive Worker Bee Series
Q: What went wrong in 2025, and what are the main questions heading into 2026 besides quarterback?
Vic points to defensive struggles, especially in third/fourth down stopping and the kicking game, plus turnover creation and offensive timing, as the key issues carried over into the 2025 season and the focus areas for 2026.
San Jose State Spartans Football Team Preview | G5 Hive Worker Bee Series
Q: Do you think Luke Weaver is the quarterback1 at San Jose State, or is there another quarterback pushing for that starting spot?
Vic indicates there's competition and a daily rotation during spring and early fall, with Luke on the radar but notes that the coaching staff is evaluating, so a clear starter has not emerged yet.
San Jose State Spartans Football Team Preview | G5 Hive Worker Bee Series
Q: For those tuning in to the G5 Hive for the first time, can you tell us a little bit about yourself and how long you've been covering San Jose State football?
Vic explains a long tenure covering the team, with roots in 49ers coverage, Mercury News, and SBNation, dating back to the mid-2010s, and notes how the school's access has shaped his reporting.
Akron Zips Football Team Preview | G5 Hive Worker Bee Series
Q: What is the quarterback situation and who is expected to start?
The guest expects Reese Poffenbarger to start, with Ben Finley as a strong competitor; Poffenbarger is seen as having the quicker decision-making and potential to move the ball efficiently, while Finley's experience remains valuable for game planning, and there may be a gadget package involving Taj Bullock if needed.
