Two Deep | The Longest-Running Hokies Podcast

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. Welcome to year three of the podcast, should be the best yet!

Joe Lanza from thekeyplay.com joined the guys last Sunday to discuss all things Virginia Tech. Topics included the coaches poll, Sam Rogers, Ty Outlaw, Buzz's hair, the new Cassell floor, #GAINZ, wide receiver depth, recruiting, offensive line play, WVU, Dana Holgorsen, Bud Foster's hair, the 2017 schedule, and The Key Play. With only a few more weeks until football season, you can hear the excitement in Pete and Robbie's voices (or maybe they're just drunk). Enjoy this last taste of the off-season!

College Football media days are upon us! No better time for the guys to finish out their 2017 opponent previews. This episode is pretty long, but if you make it to the end, Robbie stumps Pete with a mystery hip-hip song.

Pete and Robbie interview Chris Van Dine from Phil Steele's College Football Preview magazine. Chris provides insight on VT's upcoming season and lets the guys know how the staff over at the magazine believes the ACC will shake out.

In this episode, the guys update you on the latest recruiting news, preview the first half of the 2017 VT Football schedule, and enjoy some beers perfect for the hot summer weather. If you make it to the end of the pod, you'll hear them answer a couple twitter questions as well.

Another Spring Game is in the books... well, "game" is a bit strong since it was an offense vs. defense scrimmage again this year... nevertheless, there were some things to get excited about. 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!

VT BACK! 10 wins and it feels so good. What a wild game; down 24-0 at the half, the stage was set for an all-time comeback. The guys recap all the action, and have to come clean on their whereabouts for the second half. The discussion then turns bittersweet as our star QB, Jerod Evans, announced he's leaving VT early to enter the NFL draft. Pete and Robbie offer their thoughts on the matter and what it could mean for the offense in 2017. Make sure to stick around for National Championship Picks. It's really hard to believe the season is over, but what a season it was. Go Hokies!

It's the most wonderful time of the year... Bowl season! With the help of Jonathan French from The Key Play, Pete and Robbie preview the upcoming match-up against the Arkansas Razorbacks. 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.

Whew, that was a close one! Things got a little dicey down in Durham on Saturday, but the Hokies got the W. The guys give their thoughts on the narrow victory, and then get you ready for game against Georgia Tech. GT's triple option offense always makes for an interesting match-up, but their defense has a lot of holes, something Fuente needs to exploit. With only two ACC games left on the schedule, the Coastal crown is within reach; we'll see if VT can validate their no. 14 playoff committee ranking.

Ding-dong, the witch is dead! That's right, we finally beat Pitt at Heinz field! Virginia Tech is in full control of the Coastal and it feels so good. The guys recap the gritty performance and rail on Pat Narduzzi's sideline antics (what a clown). Now that the Hokies have cleared this major hurdle, they need to be in full take-care-of-business mode. The home stretch of the season starts with Duke and coach Cutcliffe. After the preview, Pete and Robbie make their weekly picks against the spread.

In the second portion of The Rivermill recording, the guys previewed Thursday's match-up against Pittsburgh. You can tell they're getting a bit toasty, but the content is still there. 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.

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. Ryan Dye of The Key Play was also kind enough to stop by, giving the guys a sideline report and providing some insight on the Coastal race. The loss to Syracuse seemed to get Tech's mind right; the rest of the division better watch out.

That sound you hear is the Hokies crashing back down to earth. After three impressive wins in a row, VT had a real clunker of game, losing to Syracuse 31-17. 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. Let's hope that Coach Fuente and the boys agree with that. A HUGE Thursday night game awaits this team on a short week. Can the Hokies pick up the pieces and remain in the driver's seat for the Coastal?! Here's hoping.

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. This weekend, the VT road warriors will head to the Carrier Dome, a venue that has magical powers according to Pete and Robbie. Though this game screams TRAP, there is reason to be optimistic. The picks ATS reflect that.

The guys bring in Joe Lanza from The Key Play to help them preview UNC. Both teams are in the AP top 25 after last weekend, and the game couldn't be bigger for the Hokies. All three guys profess their love/hate for Ryan Switzer before making their predictions on how the game will go on Saturday. As always, Robbie and Pete pick the remaining ACC games at the end. Hold on to your turkey legs, Hokie Nation; the season is about to get interesting.

Hokies win! Another great game by VT last Saturday, crushing ECU 54-17. Robbie and Pete recap every aspect of the match-up and revise their expectations for Tech going forward. Colby Dant of the Sports Gambling Podcast then joins the guys for their weekly picks segment and gives some of his favorite plays for this upcoming weekend. No game for the Hokies, but Two Deep doesn't believe in bye weeks.

SHUTOUT! The Hokies destroyed Boston College this past weekend, 49-0, and Pete and Robbie bask in the win. Both the offense and defense showed up big-time. However, the celebration can't last too long with ECU looming on the horizon. The Pirates will bring a challenging passing attack into Blacksburg on Saturday. Can VT finally get over the hump, or will ECU win for the third year in a row? The guys make their picks ATS, and thank a listener for an awesome gift. Kept it under an hour this time, enjoy!

The guys survived Bristol! Though their livers are still aching, Robbie and Pete had a fantastic time tearing it up with the Tennessee locals. In this episode, some light was shone on the BaB, and the dreaded game against Boston College was discussed. As always, picks ATS were made; third time's the charm with VT giving points...

The Hokies took care of business against Liberty and moved to 1-0. Robbie and Pete break down the win, and then get you ready for the long-awaited match-up in Bristol vs. the Vols. While both guys like VT against the spread, they don't agree on the outcome. This game is huge in every sense; hopefully, Coach Fuente has Tech ready for the big stage.

IT'S GAME WEEK! Finally, the season has arrived and the guys couldn't be more excited. In this episode Robbie and Pete are joined by Jonathan French from thekeyplay.com to discuss VT's offensive and defensive schemes. After the interview, they tell you what to look for in the opener against Liberty, and if you can make it to the end, you'll hear picks ATS for this weekend's awesome slate of games. Here's hoping for 1-0, GO HOKIES!

The 2016 Season Preview marks the start of year two for Two Deep. Robbie and Pete provide all the latest Hokie news and analyze the roster position-by-position. Record predictions, points per game, and general goals for the O and D are also discussed. The expectations for this year have been mixed, but the guys are optimistic. It should be an exciting first year in the new era of Hokie football.

In this episode the guys speak with Athlon Sports' Braden Gall. Braden provides insight on the preview mag's creation process, as well as some predictions for the upcoming season. Other topics include the Battle at Bristol, VT's quarterback situation, and the ACC potentially going to 9 games. After the interview, stick around for some Hokie recruiting news and what to look for in fall camp, which starts Thursday 8/4/16.

In a continuation of last episode, the guys finish previewing VT's 2016 opponents. They cover Duke, GT, Notre Dame, and UVA.

With the 2016 season about 50 days away, the guys dive deep into the second half of the Hokies schedule. Recruiting is the hot topic on social media, and it's been a bit of a cruel, cruel summer for VT; Robbie and Pete offer some perspective before getting into their Miami and Pitt previews.

It's the slowest part of the offseason, but the Two Deep guys don't take the summer off. In this episode Pete and Robbie take a look at the first half of the 2016 Virginia Tech football schedule. If you stick around all the way to the end (it's a long one), you'll hear Robbie fail miserably at VT trivia.

The title says it all. Robbie and Pete cover all the latest Hokie news and then dive as deep as they can into Fuente's first spring in Blacksburg. The spring "game" gets broken down, and the guys discuss which players they thought took a step forward. If you're really bored, stick around for Hokie trivia at the end of the show!

Dan Wolken of USA Today joins the guys to discuss the state of the VT Football program and what Coach Fuente's impact will be. Topics included recruiting, player development, and on-field expectations for 2016. There was even some Buzzketball talk at the end. This is a must-listen episode, Hokies.

Spring has got the guys sprung! There's a lot of excitement surrounding both the VT basketball and football programs these days. Pete and Robbie discuss the incredible end-of-the-season run for Hokie Hoops, as well as the raised expectations for 2016-2017. Spring football practice is also officially underway. Who will step up their game and contribute next year? Who's our QB going to be? Why isn't the spring game on TV? You've gotta listen to find out the "answers" to these very important questions.
