Speaking the Lawn

Pierce and Zach are back this week and welcome in STL contributor Hayden to the podcast! The trio discuss the UVA Men's Lacrosse team, the big win over Hopkins, and what to look out for in the Final Four matchup this weekend against Maryland. Go Hoos!

Zach is back with Pierce this week for our first summer episode of the pod! The duo breakdown the entire men's basketball roster for the Hoos, all the transfer additions (and departures), and what the story lines will be throughout the summer. Vibes are certainly very different than they were to end the season (thankfully). They also give some spring sports updates and look ahead to this weekend's lacrosse game. Wahoowa!

Pierce is back this week and bringing back a friend of the pod: UVA alum and author, Zach Carter! In this elder-millennials-only show, the duo talk about the UVA men's team recent woes (after celebrating a HUGE win from the women's team). Can Tony Bennett reset things to a winning level before the ACC and NCAA tournaments? How has the string of blowout losses completely shaken the perception of the program and the mood of the fanbase. Isn't it funny that they're still likely to finish top 3 in the conference? There's much to discuss...

Ben and Pierce are back to discuss the Wahoos and their winning ways. After big wins against Clemson and Miami, the UVA men's basketball team finds itself 2nd in the conference - and just behind a UNC team that lost shortly after this episode was recorded. What do the Hoos need to do to keep up this strong streak of performances? How does the rest of the schedule shake out? What in the heck is up with these data rankings? The STL crew discuss this and more...

Pierce and Ben are back to discuss all the winning basketball has done against agricultural schools recently (and how it will hopefully continue on Wednesday). The duo break down the emergence of Jordan Minor, the importance of Dante Harris' return to the floor, and how the roster shakes out now with a little more depth. They discuss the season so far, the ACC standings, and how the schedule begins to play out for the Hoos. There's plenty of conference slate left to finish where we want them to finish - go get it, Hoos!

Pierce is back with Paul this week to talk about football recruiting's National Signing Day and the incoming class of first year and transfer players. With the recent changes to the transfer portal, college football has seen transfer recruiting soar to an equivalent importance as building a class of high school recruits, and Virginia fans saw the fruits of those labors in full force with Malik Washington and this season's roster. What has Tony Elliott and the staff addressed in this year's class? Who is this year's Malik? We cover that and a lot more in this week's pod.

Pierce, Zach, and Ben are back to break down the big wins for the men's basketball team last week. What has improved on the court for the Hoos? What will beating A&M and Syracuse do for their resume and how do things project for the rest of OOC play? They also talk plenty about Elijah Gertrude, the rest of the ACC competition, and y'know...gush about Ryan Dunn a lot. This is a strong ep of Xs and Os on offense as well - join us!

Zach and Pierce are back this week to talk about the many goings on in the world of UVA sports. Mainly, the utter debacle in the Commonwealth Cup rivalry, where football goes from here, and how crazy the transfer portal will be. Then, the duo discuss the men's basketball trip to Florida, the rebounding issues (and bounce back win against WVU), and look to tonight's game against Texas A&M.

Pierce, Zach, and Ben are all back this week to discuss the wins to start the season for the UVA basketball season. We were so close to starting with another HUGE upset over Louisville in football - but we discuss the context of the football season after the Hoos dropped a close one on the road. Most of the episode focuses on men's basketball - the early standouts and surprises and what we're hoping in the next few out of conference games.

Pierce, Zach, and Ben are back to talk about the 1-0 start for the UVA Men's Basketball team. The crew discuss what surprised them about the opening win over Tarleton State, what roster decisions were the most interesting, and where they see minutes shaking out from here. They discuss how great Reece Beekman is at length - and what also really encouraging signs fans can take from this game? Get set for the Florida game tomorrow with today's episode!
