Happy first day of college basketball! UVA, Tech, Richmond, VCU, JMU, ODU, Longwood, Radford, William & Mary, VMI and Liberty all open up tonight! Plus the Commanders fell in Kirk Cousins return to FedEx. And, begrudgingly, Matt talks college football in the state.

Mike Rhoades of VCU, Mitch Tischler of NBC Washington and Jeff Zona of the Nationals. And even a couple picks from Al and Robert the Bruce.

The Astros took a 3-2 lead and now it's time for the Phillies to try and force a Game 7 in Houston. Jeff Zona returns to Sports Phone

Kirk Cousins makes his debut in FedEx as an enemy. And Mitch makes his own on the Sports Phone. Let's talk the suddenly hot Commanders!

VCU has a plethora of young talent coming in. After a tough exit in the 2022 Atlantic 10 tournament, the Rams figure to make plenty of noise within the conference and in the country. Coach Mikes Rhoades makes his debut on 106.1 ESPN for the 2022-23 season, after a few technical difficulties...

It's the World Series! And the Eagles are 8-0 now. So it was a mixed bag for the City of Brotherly Love last night. How will Al manage to watch all of the great sports this weekend? Dennis Bickmeier joins.

A ton of breaking stories and massive upcoming contest. UGA and Tennessee could prove to be the game of the year.

We got the first edition of the CFP rankings Tuesday. It's early but there's plenty of room for debate. Heather calls into the studio with Matt to discuss the initial 2022 CFP rankings, primarily the top four.

The Dukes are having a fantastic year one in the FBS. Up next for Curt and the Dukes? ACC and Power 5 member, Louisville.

Hour two with Big Al. Scott Wachenheim joins to talk VMI football.
