Two Deep | The Longest-Running Hokies Podcast

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.

The guys are back! Robbie and Pete cover all the things that have been going on with the Hokies this winter. From the Bowl win, to National Signing Day, to the 2016 schedule, no stone is left unturned. They even talk some hoops! Now grab a drink and turn up the volume.

In this episode, the guys discuss the new coaching staff, Fuente's recruiting, and the Hokies' bid to the Independence Bowl. It doesn't get much better than Shreveport, Louisiana in December... oh wait, I'm thinking of ANYWHERE else. From the disappointing Bowl to delicious winter beers, Pete and Robbie cover it all. Happy Holidays from Two Deep!

Pete channelled his inner Soulja Boy to celebrate the win over UVA. Turn your Hokie swag on, people.

Hokies win! Yes, that's right, VT beat UVA for the 12th straight year and the guys are pumped about it. Saturday also marked the hiring of a new head football coach in Blacksburg, Justin Fuente. Robbie and Pete offer their thoughts on the news and what it means for the Hokies going forward. Also, bowl possibilities are tossed around and championship game picks are made. Check it out, you won't be sorry.

IT'S HATE WEEK! The guys recap the tough loss to UNC, but, more importantly, talk about the matchup with rival UVA. A win means bowl eligibility; a loss would mean a sad ending for Frank. Just like your annoying relatives at the dinner table, Pete and Robbie don't hold anything back. Happy Thanksgiving, listeners!

This episode focuses on the big win down in Atlanta and previews Frank's last home game versus UNC. The Hokies can become bowl eligible with a win this weekend, and the importance of the game is not lost on the guys. Stick around until the end for ACC picks as well as "college story time", where Robbie gives us the final installment of the Brendon trilogy.

This song was obviously made in honor of Frank's upcoming retirement. The beat is from "Right Above It" by Lil Wayne and Drake.

In this week's episode, the guys take a look at VT's season stats before previewing GT. It seems Dogfish Head beers are the perfect compliment to cursing the triple option. ACC picks are also made. It's just Pete and Robbie this week (no fun guests), deal with it.

In part two of this monster podcast, Joe and the guys discuss the top candidates to replace Frank. They each give their favorites, as well as some sleeper candidates you may not have thought of. Robbie also interviews Joe about what's going on over at The Key Play, how he built and maintains that community, and what TKP has in store for its readers over the next few months. Really, really good stuff if you're a fan of the site.

In part one of this two part podcast, Joe Lanza, editor of thekeyplay.com, joins the guys to help them break down the win over BC and the announcement that Head Coach Frank Beamer will retire at the end of the season. They discuss what Frank means to the program, the legacy he leaves behind, and how the VT job looks to the outside.

Addazio, bad offense, and good defense; that's what BC is this year. The guys talk about their playmakers and give their keys to the game.

Mike helps the guys pick this week's match-ups. Thursday provides the best game of the weekend in the ACC with UNC going to no. 23 Pitt, Clemson at NC State could be fun, and our beloved Hokies take on BC as a slim favorite on the road.

Mike McDaniel from insidetheacc.com joins the guys to discuss all things Hokie football. Topics included Beamer's potential retirement, poor coaching decisions, heartbreaking defeat, and how we'll attack BC's ferocious defense. ACC picks are made and Pete recalls an anecdote involving an unused condom in "college story time".

This week's song uses the beat from Kanye West's "Homecoming".

The Hokies take another loss and the guys vent about it. They tackle what went wrong and theorize on why the team seems to be playing with no emotion. In the second half of the episode the focus turns to Duke. The Blue Devils will bring a strong D to Blacksburg and have a bunch of playmakers, including safety DeVon Edwards, who leads the nation in yards per kick return. ACC picks get made as well. It's homecoming, so come back to the podcast, we've missed you.

This song is about Al Golden's tenuous grasp on his job. It uses the beat from Ignition Remix by R. Kelly.

This segment of our Cellar recording previews the Miami game. We were kind of drunk by this point and it was recorded before the Miami/FSU game. It should be noted that we failed to mention Miami WR Stacy Coley. He hadn't played the previous three games, but he broke out against FSU with 7 catches, 139 yards, and a TD; definitely another name to watch.

Mason Naumann of thekeyplay.com joins the guys at The Cellar in Blacksburg. Powder puff football, VT's offensive identity, and our "fake it until you make it" defense all get covered in this interview. Follow him @3rdand31 on Twitter.

Matthew Warner of the allsportsdiscussion.com podcast joins the guys for an interview at The Cellar in Blacksburg. They talk ACC football division races, what to look for against Miami, and even get ACC basketball predictions from Matthew. Follow him @hokiesmash on twitter.

Recorded at The Cellar, this week's episode recaps the big win against NC State and previews the upcoming Miami game. The guys were also joined by Mason Naumann of thekeyplay.com and Matthew Warner of the All Sports Discussion podcast. Many drinks were consumed and a good time was had by all.

This week's song uses the beat from Zac Brown Band's "Chicken Fried". It's a happier song than the last two and hopefully it changes our luck.

The guys lament yet another Tech loss, and have a brief state of the program discussion before previewing the matchup against NC State. Mike from Raleigh sent in some thoughts on the Wolfpack, and Pete remembers being a jerk during "college story time". You might say this episode is... packed... Sorry, we really hope you still listen.

This week's song uses the beat from "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth. A sad song for a sad week.

After the tough loss to ECU, Robbie and Pete turn to pumpkin beers for comfort; a little bit of sweet to go with their salty attitudes. The guys preview the matchup against Pitt and Robbie recalls an odd roommate in "college story time". It's the start of ACC play; a tradition unlike any other. #goacc

This week's song uses the beat from "What's The Difference" by Dr. Dre. Short song this week.

Ahoy, matey! This week's pod recaps the good showing against Purdue and previews the upcoming game against the Pirates. The guys drink nautical-themed beers, make their picks, and introduce a new segment called "college story time". Shiver me timbers, this one was good.

The Hokies head to West Lafayette, Indiana this week to face the Boilermakers and the guys tell you what to watch for. They also give their thoughts on the Furman win and make their weekly picks; it's the ACC/Big Ten Challenge: Football Edition!

Put to the beat of "Teach Me How To Dougie" this song is a silly attempt at describing a Hokie.

The guys recap the OSU game from start to finish, mourn the loss of Michael Brewer, and attempt to find positives after a tough opener. They also address the QB situation and why the match-up against Furman could be scary. Oh, and week 2 picks are made. Buckle-up, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!

Pete talks about how he started doing the VT preview songs and the Ohio State game song is revealed.
