The Cardiac HOOS also look ahead at what’s next, what still needs improvement, and why UVA fans might have a lot more to be excited about after this one.

The Cardiac HOOS are back to preview the 2026 Virginia Cavaliers football season! Coming off an 11-win season and an ACC Championship Game appearance, expectations are higher than ever in Charlottesville.

The guys break down everything you need to know heading into the season, including season expectations, players to watch, the biggest questions facing the HOOS, and the toughest games on the schedule. They take a close look at the new-look quarterback room, a deep running back group, and an experienced offensive line as Tony Elliott and the Cavaliers look to build on last year's success.

With games against NC State, West Virginia, Florida State, SMU, Duke, Wake Forest, North Carolina and Virginia Tech, the schedule offers plenty of opportunities — and plenty of chances for things to go sideways.

Finally, the Cardiac HOOS put their predictions on the record: How many games will Virginia win? Who will be the breakout stars? Which game is the biggest trap? And can the HOOS make another run at the ACC Championship?

It's time to talk 2026 Virginia Football. It's time for the Cardiac HOOS!

GO HOOS!

The Cardiac HOOS are back, and this time it’s all about the ACC Championship aftermath. The guys break down what went right, what went painfully wrong, and whether this Virginia squad showed enough to inspire confidence when the lights were brightest. Was it a missed opportunity or a sign of something bigger brewing in March?

From questionable calls to cold shooting stretches, nothing is off-limits as the HOOS vent, analyze, and try to make sense of how the title game slipped away (or how it was earned, depending on your result).

Then, it’s all eyes on March Madness. The Cardiac HOOS dive into Virginia’s tournament outlook—potential matchups, bracket paths, and just how far this team can realistically go. Is this another classic UVA slow-burn run, or are we headed for more heartbreak?

Expect bold predictions, a little frustration, and just enough optimism to believe this team might still have some magic left.

After taking a beating from Duke on the court, the Cardiac Hoos are back behind the mics with a little therapy… and a lot of sarcasm.

In this episode, the guys reluctantly recap Virginia’s rough night against Duke basketball, try to find something positive in the chaos, and then do what any reasonable fans would do — scroll through the comment section. That’s right… the Hoos read and react to some of the most fired-up comments from upset (and very vocal) Duke fans from the last video.

Was the schedule weak? Did Duke fans completely miss the joke? The guys break it all down while taking a few playful shots at the Blue Devils along the way.

It’s part therapy session, part roast, and part comment-section chaos.

Grab a seat, laugh through the pain, and join the Cardiac Hoos as they prove that even after a tough loss… the rivalry — and the trolling — never stops.

This bonus episode of Cardiac HOOS, we dive into the latest stories shaping Virginia sports and the broader college athletics landscape. First up, we break down the high-stakes legal battle featuring Virginia quarterback Chandler Morris, who has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA seeking a seventh year of eligibility after his waiver request was denied — what it means for the Cavaliers' roster and for eligibility rules nationally.

Then, we shift gears to Virginia baseball, which has opened its early season with both big offensive outputs and tough losses. We’ll talk through the Cavs’ wins and woes as they try to find consistency early on and position themselves for success in ACC play.

Finally, we preview one of the classic rivalries in college lacrosse — Virginia vs. Johns Hopkins. From history and stakes to what to expect when the Cavaliers and Blue Jays collide once again on the field, we’ve got the story behind the matchup and what it could mean for both teams this season.
