  • Fantastic

    Great podcast, the crew seems to really mesh well together. They root for the Hokies every week but still like to be realistic. They have solid analysis and I like most of the opinions I hear too. They could double the content and I'd still listen every time!

  • Great podcast

    My favorite podcast. While they want the Hokies to win, the analysis is absolutely top notch. The podcast was always top notch, but with Andy Bitter joining the team it’s even better.

Q: What has made Brie Kerraco so effective early in the season and how has her development progressed from redshirt to a key contributor?

Q: What would be your message to the fan base to get people out to Blacksburg this weekend to watch the Hokies and the Wolf Pack?

Friday Q&A With Chris Coleman: What Is A Virginia Tech Spring Football Practice Like?
Q: incoming freshmen which could make noise in spring ball this year

Friday Q&A With Chris Coleman: What Cheap Improvements Should Be Made To Lane Stadium And Cassell?
Q: What is the likely 10-year outlook for Virginia Tech's basketball venue?

Friday Q&A With Chris Coleman: What Cheap Improvements Should Be Made To Lane Stadium And Cassell?
Q: What is the long-term plan for Cassell Coliseum given its current design and constraints?
The guests discuss that Cassell likely cannot accommodate a center-hanging scoreboard due to the flying buttress design, implying that either gutting the interior or building a new arena would be necessary, with the argument that a long-term, single large project could be more cost-effective.
