Welcome back to The Loyal Sons podcast, Presented by Capel Faithful (@CapelFaithful): a safe, sun-shiny place for your Pitt athletics fix.

0:53 - 6:13 - FBS Recap. Upsets, barn-burners and pumpkin rolls. Also, Penn State lost :)

6:14 - 14:40 - Around the ACC. An eventful week in ACC play sets the stage for Pitt’s massively important Coastal matchup against Virginia Tech this week. Also, have we seen the last of D’Eriq King?

14:45 - 29:34 - Christmas in October. All this national media attention, favorable FPI metrics, and Heisman hype has us in the Holiday Spirit a few months early, so we made a little Christmas list for the rest of the season. Hopefully NarduzziClaus comes through.

29:46 - 54:46 - Mike McDaniel from Sons of Saturday joins us to talk the latest with Virginia Tech: Braxton Burmeister’s injury status, the Hokies’ uneven 2021 campaign, and his thoughts about their chances against the Pitt Panthers. We also try to trade for Enter Sandman. The price is too high.

55:18 - 60:21 - Predictions. Can Pitt win in Lane Stadium for the first time since 2015? Is Braxton Burmeister too banged up to keep up with Pitt’s offensive firepower? God, I hope so…
