Monarch Nation, we’ve got a jam-packed episode!

We start with breaking news: Jason Henderson, the best linebacker in Old Dominion football history, announces his retirement. We reflect on his legendary career, share memories, and discuss what this means for the program.

Then, we recap ODU’s dominant win over North Carolina Central (54-6) — from Treyquan Jones’ record-breaking touchdown run to improved offensive line play and strong defensive depth.

Finally, we preview the huge matchup against Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. Can ODU take advantage of Tech’s struggles? We dive into key matchups, game planning, and what a win could mean for the Sun Belt race.

Special guest Jonathan Plisco joins us, plus Fade Gary’s Week 3 Picks, recruiting updates, and plenty of Monarch Nation energy.
