In order to give this big game the focus it deserves, we had to do a two-part episode. In the first segment, the Monarchists sit down with Andy Bitter, Virginia Tech beat reporter for the Athletic. We discuss Brent Pry and what he's brought to the program, the Hokies' strengths and weaknesses, 757 recruiting, the series between the two Commonwealth programs and so much more.

In the second half, we have a roundtable discussion with fellow Monarchist Gary Williams and discuss ODU's strengths, opportunities for improvement, the possible breakout stars and our predictions for this big game and the 2022 season.
