Two Deep | The Longest-Running Hokies Podcast

That one hurt. Unfortunately, the Hokies have now contributed to the "Notre Dame is going to the playoff" narrative. Don V, of the Don V Fridays podcast, helps the guys recap the dismal showing against the Irish before previewing UNC. The levity brought by Don in this episode was certainly welcome after a tough week on the field. With that said, VT still has plenty to play for; let's hope the team comes out angry and pulls off the win down in Chapel Hill.

That's how you respond. The Hokies bounced back in a big way with a definitive victory over Duke. Robbie and Pete recap the all the action from Durham before getting you ready for the gigantic contest vs. Notre Dame. Lane will certainly be jumping as Tech welcomes the no. 6, undefeated Fighting Irish to Blacksburg. There's a lot on the line for the Domers; their manageable path to the playoff has been at the forefront of the national conversation since their win over Stanford. However, the refocused Hokies will have something to say about that. The level of play should be high on Saturday night; grab a beer and get your popcorn ready, this is going to be a good one.

That sound you hear is the Hokies crashing back down to earth. After an impressive start to the season, Tech laid an historic egg, losing to Old Dominion 35-49. Pete and Robbie recap what went wrong and debate where the loss ranks among some of the Hokies' worst. Once the ODU game is put to bed, the guys turn the page to Duke. Will Fuente and the boys be able to pick up the pieces and get a win down in Durham? It won't be an easy task, but the bounce back spot has treated the Hokies well over the years. Here's hoping VT can right the ship.

VT football, how we've missed you. After an unexpected bye week, the Hokies should be recharged heading into their game against Old Dominion. Pete and Robbie recap all the college football action from last weekend before previewing the historic trip to Norfolk. The stadium will be small, but the crowd should be rowdy. Don't be surprised if ODU hangs for a quarter or two, but, hopefully, Tech will flex its muscles as the game progresses. Duke and ND loom, but taking care of business should be the focus on Saturday. As always, ATS picks at the end. Let's go, Hokies!

Well that was fun. Virginia Tech took William & Mary behind the woodshed on Saturday. Robbie and Pete recap the offensive explosion and praise a great game overall despite some mistakes on D. Unfortunately, next week's matchup vs. ECU has been canceled due to hurricane Florence. The guys try to fill the hole in their hearts with some extra picks against the spread. Everyone, please, stay safe and dry this weekend.

1-0! The Hokies went into Tallahassee and shocked the college football world on Monday night. The offense started off hot, the defense dominated throughout, and our special teams paid tribute to Frank Beamer with a game-changing play. It was quite a night. Robbie and Pete recap all the action, and discuss Bud Foster's legendary impact on our program. Before moving on to William & Mary, the guys stress the importance managing expectations over the next month. Stick around for ATS picks at the end. Man, does beating Florida State feel good! Enjoy it, Hokies.

Andy Bitter from The Athletic joins the guys to help preview the opener against Florida State.

College football season is finally here. Let's go, Hokies!

Supposedly, it's the offseason, but you wouldn't know it based on the flood of activity within the VT football program. Robbie and Pete rehash the Devyn Ford whiff, break down the now dire cornerback situation, and discuss the troubling rumors surrounding Josh Jackson. It's not all bad though, the recent success on the recruiting trail has helped swing momentum back in the right direction. A wild spring could turn into a crazy summer for the Hokies.

With spring practice wrapped up, and the NFL Draft in the rearview mirror, there was plenty of content for this episode. Robbie and Pete covered a lot of ground, breaking down the Galen Scott resignation, the history-making first night of the draft, and the spring game itself. The pod comes off the rails a bit around the hour mark, and is a little NSFW, but, hopefully, our more immature listeners find it enjoyable. Apologies in advance for those offended; just some goofing around after a couple beers... probably best to listen with a beverage of your own.

Jonathan French of thekeyplay.com returns to the podcast to discuss Virginia Tech's covert spring practices. Robbie and Pete prod him about position battles, emerging young talent, and what to expect from the Hokies in 2018. While the coaches have been cagey in response to recent questions, French was not, giving some real, up-front answers. Really good stuff in this one, enjoy!

The Hokies are going dancing, again! For the second straight season, coach Buzz Williams has Virginia Tech in the NCAA Tournament. In this episode, Robbie and Pete take an in-depth look at Tech's seeding and break down the opening round matchup vs. Alabama. Like last year, no. 1 seed Villanova will be waiting for the Hokies in the round of 32. Let's hope VT can get there this time.

The boys are back. After making you wait far too long for a new podcast, Pete and Robbie bring the heat recapping Virginia Tech's busy winter months. This episode covers the unbelievable stretch for the men's basketball team, National Signing Day and what it meant for our recruiting class, and takes an in-depth look at the 2018 football schedule. There's even a little combine/draft talk at the end (you know you're looking forward to Tim Settle's 40-yard dash). Enjoy!

This episode marks then end of the 2017 VT football season. Robbie and Pete recap Tech's performance in the Camping World Bowl and talk about the future of QB Josh Jackson. Since the game, multiple Hokies have announced an early jump to the the NFL; the guys discuss what it means for VT and where they may go in the 2018 draft. The men's basketball team is the subject of the final segment, and their recent play has, once again, raised the expectations of getting back to the big dance.

With so much going on in the world of Virginia Tech athletics, this holiday edition of Two Deep is jam-packed. Pete and Robbie recap the Kentucky game, react to the 2018 football signees, and preview the upcoming Camping World Bowl vs. Oklahoma State. The guys also talk donations and taxes (it's true). Finally, stick around for a discussion about expensive beer and the last ATS picks of the season. Happy holidays to all of our loyal listeners out there, your support is much appreciated. Go Hokies!

Buzz Williams has the Hokies off to a hot start once again. With a record of 9-1 and dreams of getting back to the tournament, this sharp-shooting team will really find out what they're made of out in Lexington this weekend. Because of the magnitude of the matchup, Robbie and Pete felt it was necessary to preview the game in grand fashion. Downtown Crown Wine and Beer in Gaithersburg, MD provided the backdrop for this monster episode, and the results do not disappoint. Kentucky superfans Richard and Mike Drake help the guys breakdown the game in more detail than you ever could have wanted. They talk program history, Coach Cal, where this current UK team stands, and how they think VT will fair in Rupp Arena. Honestly, nothing gets held back; there's JMU bashing, Seth Greenberg bashing, Louisville bashing, Duke bashing, and, of course, UVA bashing. There's even a volatile beer break! It's really something, so, please, enjoy responsibly.

The committee has spoken. Virginia Tech finished the regular season at no. 22 in both the AP poll and CFP rankings. The guys recap championship weekend and react to VT's bowl matchup vs. Oklahoma State. They also officially announce that the VT-Kentucky Preview episode will be recorded at Downtown Crown Wine and Beer in Gaithersburg, MD on Saturday, December 9th starting at noon. Come on out and have a beer with us if you're in the area.

14 straight! The Hokies beat the 'hoos yet again, capping off a strong 2017 campaign. The guys recap the outstanding defensive performance and detail the sparse, but crucial, offensive highlights. Pete and Robbie also discuss their thoughts on the season as a whole, what next year's roster could look like, and potential Bowl destinations. Stick around for Championship weekend picks against the spread at the end, which includes four AP top-10 matchups. It was a season Tech fans should be proud of; the program is definitely trending up.

Goal-line stand FTW! Saturday's victory against Pitt produced one of the best moments in Lane Stadium history. Pete and Robbie recap every exciting detail before shifting their focus to Hate Week. That's right, the battle for the Commonwealth Cup starts at 8pm on Black Friday and the guys are just a little bit nervous. Here's hoping the Hokies can make it 14 straight over UVA.

The triple option strikes again. For the second year in a row, VT loses the Techmo Bowl in frustrating fashion. This episode is not for the faint of heart as the game provided plenty of unsettling moments for the guys to breakdown. Pitt is up next, and while the Panthers are not good, they are another opponent that historically gives Tech fits. It would be nice to see something from the offense going into the UVA game, otherwise the Hokies' winning streak could be in serious jeopardy come Black Friday. Buckle up, the 2017 season may have a bumpy finish.

That one hurt. Unfortunately, the Hokies have now contributed to "the U is back" narrative. Pete and Robbie recap the dismal showing against Miami and try to put it behind them before previewing Georgia Tech. There's no time to pout as the triple option demands our full attention. With plenty left to play for, let's hope the team comes out angry and pulls off the win down in Atlanta.

Here we go again. With a definitive victory over Duke, the Hokies are primed for their third big game of the 2017 season. Joe Lanza from The Key Play joins the guys to discuss the VT's 7-1 start, and preview the match-up vs. the undefeated Miami Hurricanes. Both teams have CFB playoff aspirations, and the Coastal title is very much on the line. This game could also act as a springboard for the VT-Miami rivalry to re-enter the national spotlight. Grab a beer and get your popcorn ready, this is going to be a good one.

"Let the punishment match the offense." Forget the NCAA's ruling, Fuente and the boys gave UNC the beating they deserved. Pete and Robbie recap all the action from an amazing Homecoming game. Duke is up next and will provide a much stiffer challenge. Is this a trap game? That's up for debate. What's not is how well VT has played against lowly competition this season. Hopefully, the team can keep the momentum going into the Miami game. Let's go... Hokies!

What a time to have a bye. With the Hokies home resting, the college football world got turned upside down by unranked opponents. Now, let's hope Tech can avoid the same fate against an ailing UNC team this Saturday. The guys tell you everything you need to know about the 2017 Tarheels, and probably a bunch of things you don't. Pete is leaning towards a homecoming blowout, while Robbie is a little more conservative in his prediction. This is your standard take care of business game; a focused VT does just that. Go Hokies!

A win is a win. In a weird environment, the Hokies took care of Boston College and head into the bye week at 5-1. Pete and Robbie recap the game and discuss upcoming opponents with the help of some Pumpkin beers. It's time for VT to get healthy before the Coastal race really gets going next weekend. As usual, the guys give their picks ATS at the end. Rest up, it's going to be an interesting second half of the season.

So that didn't go well. Clemson played like the 2nd best team in the nation and VT... um... did not. Despite the loss, there were plenty of fun things from the weekend to talk about. In fact, this pod is jam-packed. The guys recap College GameDay, the bars, pregame festivities, Enter Sandman, along with the game itself. Pete and Billdozer even recorded a drunken postgame pod that has been heavily edited for your enjoyment. Robbie's favorite opponent, BC, is up next and you'll get a full preview for that game as well. Stick around for ATS picks at the end and general college football talk. Oh yeah, this was also our first of two pumpkin beer episodes. The Hokie fans repped hard this past weekend, everyone should be proud.

The stage is set. Virginia Tech did what they had to do against Old Dominion and now the match-up we've all been waiting for is just days away. The guys could not be more excited. After moving quickly through a recap of the ODU game, they turn their full attention towards Clemson. The Tigers boast a dominating defense and a reloaded offense; beating them will be no small feat. However, as you would expect, Pete and Robbie provide reasons for optimism despite the talent discrepancy. This is the game Fuente and the boys marked on their calendar after last year's ACC Championship; here's hoping they pull off the win. LET'S GO, HOKIES!

Well that was a beatdown. Virginia Tech took ECU behind the woodshed on Saturday and Josh Jackson put the rest of the ACC on notice with 5 pass TDs. Robbie and Pete review the offensive highlights and praise the D for a great team performance. Next up is ODU. Will this be a speed bump or a trap before Clemson? The guys get your minds right before discussing the all-time best Lane Stadium match-ups. ATS picks at the end. Go Hokies!

The thrill is gone, for now at least. While VT did pitch a shutout, the win over UD won't be a game many remember. The guys break down what they saw on Saturday, and then move on to ECU; another tune-up before Clemson at the end of the month... hopefully. ATS picks at the end. Go Hokies!

1-0! After ten straight season opening losses against ranked opponents, Virginia Tech finally gets one. And what a game it was! Robbie and Pete recap all the action from a memorable night, and discuss Josh Jackson's immediate impact. Before moving on to Delaware, the guys stress the importance of this win and what it could mean leading up to the Clemson game. Stick around for ATS picks and a VT score prediction at the end. Man, does beating West Virginia feel good! Enjoy it, Hokies.

Jonathan French from thekeyplay.com joins the guys to help preview the opener against West Virginia. In typical French fashion, he articulately lays out every reason to be fearful of the Mountaineers, yet, he still likes Tech's chances. Robbie and Pete provide some additional thoughts and finish the pod with their first picks segment of the year. College football season is finally here... let's go, Hokies!

In this jumbo edition of Two Deep, Robbie and Pete preview every aspect of the upcoming Virginia Tech football season. Rankings, returning production, position groups, record predictions - it's all here. There's even some all-time great music to help get you through it.

Robbie and Pete breakdown all the action and give their thoughts on each position group. They also discuss VT's prospects for the NFL Draft and make their predictions for points per game in 2017.

Hope springs eternal. Well it does for Pete and Robbie at least. While there are plenty of reasons to be concerned about Virginia Tech's chances to repeat as Coastal champs in 2017, the guys provide just as many reasons to be optimistic. In this episode, the puzzle that is the spring depth chart gets discussed in great detail, with special attention paid to the brewing QB competition. Who will step up at WR? Who will fill the right side of the offensive line? What springtime beers should I be buying? The answers to all these questions are just a click away.

Finally! After a long hiatus, Virginia Tech is back in the NCAA Tournament. Pete and Robbie gleefully recap the historic season before breaking down the first round game against Wisconsin. It's a tough draw, but that doesn't stop the guys from getting ahead of themselves and discussing a potential match-up vs. #1 overall seed Villanova in round two. It feels so good to be back in the big dance; sit back and enjoy the ride!

Welcome to Blacksburg! The members of Virginia Tech's 2017 recruiting class have officially signed their letters of intent to play football for the Hokies. Pete and Robbie discuss the key commitments, provide analysis on the class as a whole, and even attempt some film review. Overall, it's a very exciting group of recruits; a handful of players could have key roles right away for Coach Fuente. The guys also go over the 2017 schedule and give their early predictions on next year's record. Is Robbie actually optimistic? Find out on the first episode of season three of Two Deep!

It should be a good time down in Charlotte, and the guys are optimistic about VT getting to 10 wins. Stick around for Bowl picks and VT trivia at the end. From your friends here at Two Deep, have a safe and happy holiday!

So close! Unfortunately, VT came up short on Saturday night vs. the Clemson Tigers. It was a valiant effort by the Hokies, one that most of the media didn't expect. Robbie and Pete recap the game while also talking Heisman, Belk Bowl, and some Buzzketball. It's been a great fall for Hokie sports; let's hope it continues throughout the winter.

We're going to Disney World! The Hokies destroyed UVA and are heading to the ACC title game in Orlando. The guys recap the beatdown and discuss the impact of ACC coach of the year Justin Fuente. Clemson's bevy of talent provides reason to be doubtful of VT's chances on Saturday night, but Pete and Robbie detail their keys to victory. Winning the ACC would be huge for Virginia Tech, but there will be no shame in a loss. Let's see if the boys from Blacksburg can pull the upset!

What a comeback! It was more dramatic than it needed to be, but VT got the win over Notre Dame. The guys break down the historic victory and talk about their trip to South Bend. More importantly, it's hate week and the Coastal crown is on the line for the Hokies against UVA. Win, and VT plays Clemson for the ACC title; lose, and the season is a disappointment. Pete and Robbie discuss the many reasons Tech should get the W, but they still couldn't be more nervous. Let's hope it's a happy Thanksgiving weekend.

During the second part of Monday's recording, the guys talked a little hoops. They recapped the opening night win over Maine, and Robbie prodded Pete with some big-picture questions about VT's prospects for the 2016-2017 season. Finally, the guys made their weekly ACC picks against the spread. Both are going with the Hokies, shocker.

Swing and a miss! The Hokies had a chance to clinch the Coastal against GT last Saturday, but whiffed in spectacular fashion. The amount of costly mistakes was mind-boggling, and the guys do their best to sift through the wreckage. After the recap, Pete and Robbie preview the match-up against Notre Dame, which, unfortunately, has lost a lot of its luster. Nevertheless, it's a chance for VT to get back on track before the UVA game, one they need to win desperately.
