  • 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.
