This 90 minute interview focuses primarily on his most recent piece in the Roanoker Magazine highlighting his time spent around Coach Brent Pry and the Hokies over the course of this Spring and Summer through the prism of NIL and the modern college football landscape. We dive into more big picture questions for the Hokies beyond the 2025 season: Can we keep up in the NIL era? Is this sustainable for college football at large? Is Pry the right man for the task?

The Hokies are set to start their 2025 campaign in Atlanta in the Aflac Kickoff Game against the South Carolina Gamecocks. Storylines abound but the most intriguing is Shane Beamer facing off against his alma mater and the school where his dad became a legend. We look at this revamped USC team to see how the Hokies can pull off the upset. We also announce the Countdown to Kickoff Giveaway winner and give our Big Screener Picks of the Week.

We're back and this time we brought with us VHSL all-time leading receiver Keylen "Brodie" Adams. We walk through Keylen's first year on campus, adjusting to college life, persevering through a difficult injury, and how he's fairing so far through fall camp. He also gives us a peek into how he fuels up for practice and why the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel is the ultimate bane of his existence.

The first episode in a Boundary Corner double dip week features Hokie legend and Vicktory Life founder Dwight Vick along with friend of the show and everyone's favorite Hokie Pops Chris Lester.

This week the boys are back and joined by Hokies outside linebacker James Djonkam. James arrived in Blacksburg via the Winter Transfer Portal window after a breakout season at Eastern Michigan where he led the team in tackles in 2024. Before that he was a part of the Arizona State defensive front rotation and a standout on special teams.

The Hokies have recovered a bit in the recruiting rankings for the 2026 class after rough Spring of major de-commitments. We invite BCP favorite and VTScoop writer Matej Sis to help us talk through some the specific circumstances that led to this slow start. We also discuss some of the key commitments so far in this class and what we can look forward to in the coming months as this class continues to fill out.

The crew is back with part two of the Hokies Dream team. This time your boys are focused on the unit that put Hokies football on the map: DEFENSE. Special guest Coach Robbie Compton joins us to help layout the best of the best when it comes to Hokies defensive players.
