  Very cool, Very cool. Tally.

  Oh, do we lose tally? We might have lost tally.

  Fucking Internet. Yeah, obvious.
• 3:32
  We'll. Get after you guys just.
• 3:34
  We'll get after. We'll try to.

• 3:42
  Tally, can you hear us? He's, we're just going to
• 3:47
  continue to put these up. Tally, what you got to say, man?
• 3:51
  Did you get to Did you get out the pregame show with Brian and
• 3:54

• 4:01
  Can you hear us? Tally shoot him a message all
• 4:08
  right, so he is off somebody jumped in give us a few seconds
• 4:14
  here We got to talk about a couple things and then we're
• 4:16
  going to let y'all talk give us a second don't if if you want to
• 4:19
  jump in that's fine just it it might be a few minutes before we
• 4:22
  put it on it's going to. Be a couple minutes, about about
• 4:25
  3:00 to 4:00. We're just going to get the the
• 4:27
  introductions, the the salutations out of the way.
• 4:30
  We got Tally back in here. Prize drinking buddies back in
• 4:34
  town. It's a shame he didn't get to go
• 4:37
  drink with him last weekend, but Tally, did you get to see Brian
• 4:41
  and all the knuckleheads on the pregame show?
• 4:44
  Yeah, man, I I got to watch it looks like they was having a
• 4:47
  good time. I was jealous.
• 4:49
  So Brian was definitely feeling good, tearing them up, turning
• 4:54
  them back. He didn't use the F word that
• 4:58
  much though, so he did. Pretty good.
• 4:59
  I think I I was down to two this year.
• 5:01
  I was down. That's pretty good.
• 5:04
  I did. I did sneak in a whale's vagina
• 5:06
  at the end. So, you know, that's not because
• 5:09
  somebody told they, they told me where Billy was for his birthday
• 5:12
  and they said he's in San Diego. And I mean, I'm not going to let
• 5:15
  that. You can't reference.
• 5:17
  Go by the wayside. Got to get it, got to get it,
• 5:20
  got to get it. But Tally, like me, we were both
• 5:24
  on the baseball fields for most of the day.
• 5:27
  Stream Spring game, not even stream.
• 5:30
  So we are depending on Brian y'all, I'll be honest, I've been
• 5:35
  so busy between work and everything.
• 5:37
  I've been trying to listen to a few podcasts, folks who went, I
• 5:40
  know like Ricky would from Hokey Hangover and some of those guys
• 5:43
  were out there, Tech Cylon, obviously out there.
• 5:46
  I ain't even got to do that yet. So I am really like, I'm not
• 5:51
  saying struggling, but I'm trying to catch up as much as I
• 5:53
  can with Spring game before we get into the Spring game.
• 5:57
  And yes, somebody has already joined.
• 5:59
  If you want to join that little QR code right up there, click on
• 6:03
  it. I don't know if Brian's going to
• 6:04
  pick one in the chat. Yeah, I'll be right.
• 6:09
  Now use that QR code. That's going to be the best way
• 6:12
  to get on there. That's going to take you
• 6:14
  straight to the link, baby. You'll be able to join us here
• 6:17
  jump in have a good time talk a little spring game.
• 6:22
  I'm hoping some of y'all got to check it out, whether even if
• 6:24
  you weren't able to make it in Blacksburg, got to look at it,
• 6:27
  you know a. Little bit it won't.
• 6:29
  It won't anywhere, that's the issue.
• 6:32
  I thought they had it on extra. Nope.
• 6:36
  It got kiboshed. Oh man.
• 6:37
  It got kiboshed at the end. They're going to do like some 45
• 6:41
  minute special. Not a fan of that.
• 6:44
  That was a pivot because like as of Thursday last week, it was
• 6:47
  still on. They had it.
• 6:49
  On the schedule. It sure as hell was all right.
• 6:52
  Well, before we start bringing people in here to get their
• 6:56
  thoughts on spring game, what they like, maybe what they don't
• 6:58
  like, we got a couple pieces of news here.
• 7:03
  Tally. I think you, I think you will
• 7:05
  this into existence. But Joseph Buck Buchanan, the
• 7:09
  four-star out of McDonough High School up in Owens Mill,
• 7:13
  Maryland, a top 247 player, a top 200 play, about 247 elite,
• 7:22
  elite defensive lineman, has committed 63 and a half, 260.
• 7:28
  Some people got him at 270 and is a big boy.
• 7:35
  What y'all think? Of him maintain and he maintains
• 7:38
  that he is a defensive end. He is not AD tackle.
• 7:43
  So he has been loud and proud about that and I'm all right
• 7:47
  with that. So again, haven't started seeing
• 7:52
  quite, you know the results. I think we're going to see just
• 7:56
  because when you start looking at high profile kids, sometimes
• 7:59
  it takes them you know, a little bit to jump into the boat.
• 8:02
  But to have the activity that we have to have, the visits that we
• 8:07
  have, the people on campus over and over that we've been having,
• 8:12
  it's a testament to the staff and the testament to James
• 8:14
  Franklin, what he's what he's doing.
• 8:17
  I do got to say I got my boy Will on here.
• 8:18
  If y'all don't know Will, man, y'all go follow Will.
• 8:20
  That's my guy. His wife's birthday maybe today
• 8:24
  or just past, but I see. Yeah, I know he said happy
• 8:29
  birthday to Lindsay. So.
• 8:30
  We. Do want to shout out?
• 8:32
  Yeah, we want to shout out. Happy birthday to my girl
• 8:34
  Lindsay and Will again. It's like family to me man.
• 8:39
  Always a good time being Will and hung out a couple times.
• 8:42
  He shows nothing but love to your boy.
• 8:43
  Nothing but love to BCP. So I did send you the link Will
• 8:49
  so you can hop on here and let us know kind of how you feeling.
• 8:51
  I know we going to hear from Phil.
• 8:53
  We got to hear from Phil and before we go forward, Curtis,
• 8:56
  I'm going to tell you this right here.
• 8:58
  I have been looking at games in Blacksburg and Airbnb's.
• 9:05
  It's ridiculous. 11 Airbnb it said 20 I think it said like 20
• 9:12
  yards from Wayne Stadium $2000. I thought it would be caught up
• 9:16
  in sleeping on the. Floor somewhere, by the way,
• 9:19
  Brian, I was. Going to tell you, I'll announce
• 9:21
  it over there. There have been discussions that
• 9:25
  some of the cruise crew and the ones behind us, the techs behind
• 9:30
  us, we might be, we are, we are, we are potentially going Georgia
• 9:36
  Tech. Like we told y'all, we said it
• 9:38
  right, we're Ted, Georgia Tech. Then we say that Tally, it's the
• 9:41
  perfect game there. There is, there is preliminary
• 9:45
  multiple families going down for that weekend getting something
• 9:50
  somewhere. So if we're going, we're going
• 9:53
  to get there, we're going to figure it out.
• 9:55
  Tally's locking back up because there's one other thing anything
• 10:00
  on Buck real quick, because I mean, he's.
• 10:03
  I mean, absolute stud, I mean, we talk about a guy that's
• 10:06
  that's that size, you know, regardless of where he ends up
• 10:10
  position wise for Virginia Tech, he's going to go out there and
• 10:13
  he's going to eat because the the dude is is big.
• 10:18
  He's quick, you know, does does the little things right even,
• 10:23
  you know, as a high school player.
• 10:25
  So like when you put those pieces together, he's going to
• 10:27
  be a tough guy to stop and a tough guy to keep off the field
• 10:30
  right away in my opinion. 100% Tally, you had been, you had,
• 10:35
  you had texted me and Brian say I'm going to get a list of like
• 10:39
  all the guys visiting and Tally, tell me what happened as you
• 10:44
  started making your list. It's too.
• 10:49
  It was too much, man. I got overwhelmed.
• 10:51
  I got what's the word that everybody's using now?
• 10:53
  I got overstimulated. I got overstimulated that.
• 10:58
  Many. Find out all the people that
• 11:01
  they had coming in. So y'all's job today chat is to
• 11:06
  tell us what y'all seen while y'all was there.
• 11:10
  From a couple of people that I heard, they said they had
• 11:13
  commits lined up on the field, you know, lined up down there,
• 11:17
  probably the biggest they've seen in a while or maybe ever.
• 11:23
  This was from a couple of season ticket holders.
• 11:25
  So I want to hear about it, man. I want to hear kind of what the
• 11:29
  boots on the ground, seen, smell, tasted, all of that good
• 11:33
  stuff. And so to do that, what y'all
• 11:37
  going to do? Hit that little QR code at the
• 11:39
  top and it'll take you straight in here with us.
• 11:44
  We're going to try to cycle you in as fast as we can.
• 11:46
  We got, you know, some people you know already waiting here.
• 11:48
  So we're going to, if you want to Curtis, we ready, we can go
• 11:52
  ahead and kick off. Well, let's let's say one more
• 11:54
  thing. We hit it up to a second, the
• 11:56
  parachute thing. Just see, I got multiple videos
• 12:00
  from people, not me and Brian. They got that.
• 12:04
  That was wild like and now reading the story, basically I'm
• 12:11
  a I'm a butcher's name. Y'all know me doing that right?
• 12:15
  Y'all put me in charge of this Pasha Falanker, obviously
• 12:18
  military veteran everything. And doing this a while the story
• 12:21
  coming out that basically the wind shifted so hard that like
• 12:24
  it was he had two choices. Either he was and again, my
• 12:28
  assumption Brian is because of where he was, he was probably
• 12:31
  going to go into North End zone is my assumption.
• 12:35
  And instead, he tried to clear the scoreboard, hit the practice
• 12:39
  field, Everybody that knows is right there behind lane, and he
• 12:42
  nailed the store. Luckily, he's OK.
• 12:45
  No one else was hurt. James Franklin had some weird
• 12:48
  happen. But I mean, he came out real
• 12:50
  positive. He was like, you know, there's
• 12:51
  been times I love what he said in his pressure.
• 12:55
  I've set through three hour delays.
• 12:56
  Weird stuff has happened in games.
• 12:59
  Having something like that happen is perfect.
• 13:01
  Like because you don't get a chance to talk through that
• 13:02
  stuff right? Y'all both play where they've
• 13:04
  been like lightning lightning. I mean, think about going back
• 13:07
  to the Purdue game, like nobody got ready for that.
• 13:10
  Like this situation where you know, you've got all this juice
• 13:14
  in the locker room and now all of a sudden you got to go out
• 13:17
  there later than you expect. Like you got to hold that juice
• 13:21
  in. You got to hold that juice in
• 13:22
  for another 30-40 fifty minutes before they, you know, they were
• 13:24
  able to get them down and get things, you know, set up for the
• 13:27
  game. It's it's a good way to kind of
• 13:33
  execute that without any stakes attached to it.
• 13:36
  So I mean it, it could be a blessing disguise.
• 13:38
  Everybody says this is this open?
• 13:40
  I'm like, man, we've been known for, for an entrance and not
• 13:43
  much else. You know, it's I, I think we're,
• 13:47
  we're maybe getting the monkey off our back here a little bit
• 13:49
  with this thing and, you know, we're going to keep it moving.
• 13:52
  Let's keep it moving. Let's get some folks in here
• 13:55
  again, hit the QR code. Whether you went to the spring
• 14:00
  game, you didn't go, you've been following it close Things you're
• 14:04
  excited about, things you noticed at the game, maybe
• 14:06
  questions you've got. And we got our first in here,
• 14:09
  Big Willy Beeman, who I see this.
• 14:12
  What up? Listen.
• 14:14
  What's going on, man? My dog's losing his fucking
• 14:17
  mind, but outside of that I'm good.
• 14:19
  How y'all? Hey man, happy birthday.
• 14:22
  To Lindsay. To Lindsay, sitting next.
• 14:25
  To you, What's going on, Lindsay?
• 14:28
  Just living my best life at 33 guys, just trying.
• 14:31
  To keep. Up with y'all.
• 14:33
  Hey, let it RIP, let it RIP. 33. How's life boys?
• 14:39
  Y'all recover from the spring game yet?
• 14:40
  Happy birthday. Happy birthday.
• 14:44
  Hey, I'm, I've, I've fully recovered.
• 14:47
  I had a all day conference today.
• 14:49
  So that'll that'll that'll get the alcohol out of your system
• 14:53
  real quick. Real quick now you know what?
• 14:56
  I missed the whole thing. I was down here.
• 14:57
  I was at the RBC Heritage golf tournament.
• 14:59
  I wish I could have been up there, but I had to host
• 15:02
  clients. You know that shit goes.
• 15:03
  But you know what I need is some highlights.
• 15:06
  Please Sir, someone. Not not a problem.
• 15:10
  It's nothing out there will. Dude, the RC shit that I'm
• 15:15
  looking at with the badass angles is not doing it, no.
• 15:19
  There is, so there is that. Everybody.
• 15:21
  There is currently really nothing out there.
• 15:23
  So we're depending on eyes like Brian and other folks who went
• 15:27
  to the game. And I mean, I've already bugged
• 15:29
  shit out, Brian. We're getting together here in
• 15:32
  my neighborhood on Thursday night to watch the draft.
• 15:35
  I'm going to bug the shit out of them even more about who what he
• 15:37
  saw. But well, let's just get your
• 15:39
  thing, man. You, you clearly you follow
• 15:41
  everything pretty close. And just what you've heard come
• 15:44
  out or just what you've been following.
• 15:47
  What what is it? What's giving you Jack?
• 15:48
  You know, first of all, I think it's 6:00.
• 15:50
  You got to go to the RBC Heritage because that's.
• 15:52
  Disgusting. Every year we do it.
• 15:54
  By the way, you boys are all invited next year.
• 15:56
  I got tickets for all of y'all. That's how we roll dawg.
• 16:03
  We don't walk around. That shit is way too hot boy.
• 16:06
  And then? That.
• 16:08
  Means that's one way. To do it.
• 16:12
  Hey, man. Hey.
• 16:13
  So what's what's exciting? Me man 2 that we can pass the
• 16:17
  ball and hopefully we can stop the pass.
• 16:19
  Honestly, we get those two things fixed from last year's
• 16:22
  team. What's our record last year in
• 16:25
  y'all's honest opinion? If we fix those.
• 16:29
  Yeah, those two things and nothing else.
• 16:31
  Just last year we were seven and five minimum with that roster, 7
• 16:36
  and five that roster. Mr. Talley.
• 16:42
  Yeah, I would say at least seven wins, you know, then that takes
• 16:45
  you to a bowl game and see what you can do so.
• 16:47
  Ryan's about to say 10. Watch him.
• 16:49
  No, I'm not going to go 10. I'm not going to go 10.
• 16:51
  I mean, I think 7 or 8 would be would be legitimate because I
• 16:54
  mean the biggest thing. Like.
• 16:56
  We we weren't efficient pass the ball.
• 16:59
  Like regardless of whether we were hitting explosives or not,
• 17:02
  we were not efficient passing the ball.
• 17:03
  We were hovering right around 50% completion for most of the
• 17:07
  year. Last year we weren't throwing
• 17:09
  the ball a lot at all. It was a time the.
• 17:12
  Fact that those numbers were that low with that few attempts
• 17:16
  was kind of wild and the all of the line was a big problem.
• 17:20
  Obviously we saw, you know, inefficiency at the quarterback
• 17:22
  position, but on the other side, that cornerback room was already
• 17:28
  a problem before the season started.
• 17:30
  You go one man down after pride goes down and.
• 17:33
  All of a sudden, huh? You said pride, Clark.
• 17:38
  That's what I'm. Saying when Pry got fired, we
• 17:41
  lost one to the portal immediately.
• 17:44
  We had a quarterback, one of our starter starting quarterbacks
• 17:47
  all of a sudden is in the portal for a unit that was already thin
• 17:51
  and not playing at the level we needed them to.
• 17:53
  So it it got ugly pretty quick. And I mean, you talked about a,
• 17:57
  you know, true freshman like JoJo Crimmin.
• 17:59
  There was kind of, you know, holding his own respective to
• 18:02
  kind of everybody else on the roster last year.
• 18:05
  Without a question, I I can't wait to see Joshua Clark this
• 18:08
  year. I think he's that.
• 18:10
  I don't want to use the word D'Angelo Clark, but damn, he's
• 18:13
  that type type of athlete, right?
• 18:17
  I think. I, I think he's, he's got the,
• 18:20
  he's got the build, he's got the size that you want, the athletic
• 18:25
  abilities off the chart. You know, if he, if he cleans up
• 18:28
  a couple things, I think he could be a really talented
• 18:30
  player. And hopefully the energy for
• 18:32
  what's it Jack? Chuck was white.
• 18:35
  I'm not getting that wrong. He looks like he he's Nick, but
• 18:38
  it doesn't look like it's a it's a long term thing.
• 18:42
  Yeah, we saw. Tweeted out today, tweeted out
• 18:44
  today. Blessed and everything and you
• 18:46
  know typically what you hear from guys who get banged up, but
• 18:50
  it's like you just ain't going to be able to do anything in the
• 18:54
  next six weeks you're going to have.
• 18:55
  To deal with I'll. Add to this, I'm actually from
• 18:58
  what I've heard from everyone, the linebackers look improve
• 19:02
  from last year. I saw you also, Brian on the was
• 19:06
  AACC network show, something like that.
• 19:09
  Yeah, yeah. Oh, Mr. Popular over here.
• 19:12
  I see you. Yeah.
• 19:15
  We did, we did that. We did that Monday morning.
• 19:19
  You popped out there today. That was a good time kind of
• 19:23
  recapping everything a little more big picture perspective
• 19:26
  just to kind of how things were. You know what I saw what I what
• 19:29
  I felt, I mean, it was it was a good time.
• 19:33
  Yeah. It's it's going to be
• 19:34
  interesting to see if this if this team can stay healthy with
• 19:39
  some of this new depth in there. Yeah, AC CS not really trending
• 19:43
  up outside of Miami. I think there's some opportunity
• 19:49
  for us. Just be physical, be fast, man.
• 19:52
  Play like a hair's on fire this year.
• 19:54
  That's what I want to see. Everything else I think will
• 19:56
  take care of itself in my opinion.
• 20:00
  It's true. And having a guy that can pull
• 20:02
  the trigger like Grunt can, and I think that's going to pay
• 20:06
  dividends. You know, the thing that I like
• 20:08
  the most watching him play is that he understands how to work
• 20:13
  in the offense. He was quick with getting
• 20:15
  getting rid of the football, getting it where it needed to
• 20:17
  be. That alone is going to take care
• 20:20
  of a lot of the problems because you're you're making those
• 20:22
  decisions quick before the rush can get to you.
• 20:26
  And that's going to open up things in the passing game.
• 20:27
  That's going to open up things for the tight end.
• 20:29
  And if you can pass the ball effectively, you're not going to
• 20:31
  have stacked boxes like we saw all year last.
• 20:33
  Year yeah. And you said that Brian, you
• 20:35
  you've mentioned a lot of quick hitters, a lot of quick out,
• 20:37
  quick out, quick out and every and and and and some people get
• 20:42
  upset about that. But if you get it out quick and
• 20:45
  guys, the whole goal is get it in guys hands who can make
• 20:49
  plays. And I don't care if that's a
• 20:51
  running back. I don't care if it's a tight end
• 20:52
  or a wide receiver. Get it where they can make a
• 20:55
  play standing back there and taking seven step drops unless
• 21:00
  you are any elite quarterback. Could Gronk and Meyer get there?
• 21:03
  Maybe. But you also have to have right
• 21:06
  tally. You got to have a line that can
• 21:07
  actually hold up for more than a second and a half.
• 21:11
  Like the honest truth. If anybody tells me like, we
• 21:14
  think Gronk and Meyer would have made this team like, 10 wins
• 21:17
  last year, no, he wouldn't have. No.
• 21:20
  Yeah, he would have. Yeah.
• 21:23
  Well, we got to run off. Like Matt Moore made that
• 21:26
  comment earlier this year, right?
• 21:28
  Well, we weren't as bad as we thought we were at that
• 21:31
  position, right, based on who we had a quarterback.
• 21:34
  And that's no no drag on Kyron at all.
• 21:37
  Love that dude. I think he played his hard out,
• 21:38
  right? But he was designed to be a
• 21:41
  certain type of player. He is not Jalen Hurts.
• 21:44
  It's much in comparisons that people want to make to that He
• 21:47
  does not see the field the way he needs to.
• 21:49
  He's got the arm strength for it, but then the freaking day
• 21:53
  you got to get the ball where it needs to be at the time it needs
• 21:55
  to be there, correct? That's true.
• 21:58
  That's it, That's it. And.
• 21:59
  And so so my thing was. Like he was running with
• 22:01
  Montgomery. Like timing is everything.
• 22:04
  Correct. And I'm not even put all that on
• 22:06
  on Kyron, honestly, part of his part of his offense, part of
• 22:10
  it's the the online part of it, it's it's it all plays a factor.
• 22:13
  And that's my whole thing is like this year.
• 22:15
  I just want to see a unit. I don't care if it's, you know,
• 22:19
  a plus or a -, b plus, call what you want, man.
• 22:22
  Just show me something that's efficient for what you can be.
• 22:27
  And I think, I think this year we're going to see, I don't
• 22:30
  know, I go 8 and four, nine. Part of me would say 930 but I'm
• 22:35
  getting funky. I got to see.
• 22:38
  If we see 8. That'd be nice.
• 22:40
  I, I just want to see eight that would, that would tell me that's
• 22:42
  a good start. And you start doing that in the
• 22:46
  ACC, you're only one or two wins away from, you know, back in
• 22:50
  that ACC tournament. Man.
• 22:53
  It's true, it's very true. And that's the that that that is
• 22:57
  the thing like right now, because I haven't seen anything
• 23:01
  and, and, and maybe I mean, no, we haven't.
• 23:04
  You're. The only one who saw.
• 23:05
  Anything so like I can't I can't ramp up like to 10 yet yeah
• 23:14
  maybe maybe a few drinks and reports out of training camp
• 23:18
  coming in. Maybe I can cause y'all know I
• 23:21
  can get stupid like that. Chad is like.
• 23:24
  I'll be right back. I'll be right there with you,
• 23:26
  Curtis. I get stupid real quick.
• 23:28
  That's. The hope that is the opium that
• 23:30
  happens. Oh, I believe that.
• 23:31
  I believe we all get stupid real quick when it comes to hearing
• 23:35
  things and then obviously seeing games and all that stuff, but
• 23:39
  what, what else? What else will we got?
• 23:41
  We got Kent who's jumped in the the green room here.
• 23:44
  What else, man? Honestly, I don't think there is
• 23:49
  much else if we can pass the ball and stop the pass and and
• 23:51
  do everything else we did last year, which I mean, look at even
• 23:56
  if the talent isn't excellent, right?
• 23:58
  It's an upgrade from last year without question.
• 24:00
  I think we can almost all agree on that from a size and speed
• 24:03
  standpoint. If the linebackers are filling
• 24:05
  the gaps like Brian says he thinks they are, I'm OK.
• 24:09
  I'm OK. It looked, it looked much
• 24:12
  cleaner. It looked much cleaner.
• 24:13
  I know we're running a vanilla offense against that defense
• 24:16
  right now. You know, if, if we get some
• 24:18
  more misdirection in there, things could be different.
• 24:20
  But linebackers look decisive. They, they were where they
• 24:24
  needed to be, especially the guys that, you know, I, I think
• 24:27
  we're going to see the most of at that position.
• 24:31
  Safeties did what they needed to do to help it run support.
• 24:35
  There wasn't a whole lot of missed angles from kind of the
• 24:39
  front two guys, you know, we saw a couple, but some of that was
• 24:43
  just, you know, Overton being Overton and getting a little bit
• 24:46
  of an alley and and making some things happen.
• 24:49
  But. Speaking of which, before I get
• 24:50
  off because I know you got other callers, can we get Overton in a
• 24:53
  different number, Callie? Oh God damn bro 16 you don't.
• 24:59
  Like the 16? You don't like the, you don't.
• 25:01
  Like the teams on the running back?
• 25:03
  Single digits or 20s? He no, he needs the single digit
• 25:07
  or 20s period. I was going to say 32 but I was
• 25:11
  like Nah, fuck that. I think we're do have, I think
• 25:15
  we're do have an 11 at running back.
• 25:17
  I think we're due for that. 1111. 11.
• 25:21
  That's a tough one to get up. What you got to say, Tally?
• 25:27
  He don't care as long as he can fucking gain. 44 What about 44?
• 25:33
  At running back. Hey, listen, that's Rigo's
• 25:35
  number, man. That's white running back all
• 25:38
  the time. Give it to him.
• 25:40
  You run like Riggins did. Sure.
• 25:42
  Yeah. Give it to anybody that's not
• 25:44
  your back, that's not your back for that.
• 25:46
  Give him Brandon. He he runs more like hell than
• 25:49
  fucking Riggins bro. We we going to give Gray
• 25:51
  Peterson 44. Give Gray Peterson No, no, no,
• 25:55
  hold on, Hold on. Can't hold on with us.
• 25:57
  We've had to have a real nasty conversation.
• 25:59
  Listen, 34 is Ryan Williams and nobody ever ran like that.
• 26:04
  He can't have 34. But if he.
• 26:05
  Can't have 34 if he does again the shoes are big that have to
• 26:12
  be filled to run in like 34. Agreed, 2522 What?
• 26:18
  I'm saying bro, how much didn't you think he weighed last year,
• 26:21
  190? He's put on, he's put on.
• 26:24
  Some weight. And he was popping kids.
• 26:26
  I saw there was times last year and I was shocked by it, where
• 26:29
  he his skinny ass would go to that gap and put a shoulder down
• 26:33
  and run through people. And I was like damn, what a fuck
• 26:35
  90. That's what's going to do with.
• 26:37
  210. That's mentality that you, you
• 26:40
  run like that. That's mentality.
• 26:42
  That's not size or feel like you run over people.
• 26:44
  That's mentality. Like you don't know I'm here,
• 26:47
  you going to know I'm coming through.
• 26:49
  So yeah. Earn that paycheck.
• 26:52
  Earn damn right, Earn the paycheck.
• 26:54
  We get to say that nowadays. That's right, that's right.
• 26:57
  Hey Will, I appreciate you, man. We're going.
• 26:59
  We're going to get Ken in here. All love, brother.
• 27:02
  Happy birthday to Lindsay. Y'all have a good?
• 27:04
  Night, birthday, Lindsay. Thanks, guys.
• 27:06
  We'll see you soon, man. We'll kind of set a lot there.
• 27:11
  I I really appreciate what he had to say on that.
• 27:14
  Sorry we couldn't get Kent, can't go in there.
• 27:18
  Straightened out yeah, something with the and and it can happen.
• 27:21
  Stream Yard can if if you can't get the audio connected, like
• 27:27
  you won't be able to hear us and then that massive delay.
• 27:30
  I, I it's like 15 second delay. It's like radio delay.
• 27:33
  You don't even remember that. We're having multiple issues
• 27:38
  here, Brian with Stream Yard 276 was going to jump up in here for
• 27:42
  a second. Well, broke it.
• 27:46
  Well, it's your fault. I love you, but you broke Stream
• 27:49
  yard for Lindsay's birthday. Ron, you technical man.
• 28:00
  I'm I will drop the link in the chat in case if if y'all can
• 28:03
  join from the. That way.
• 28:06
  Yeah, we can try it that way. Hang on just a second, there is
• 28:10
  arguments. Let me grab that link.
• 28:18
  Well, if the link's messed up, Brian, we just me and Tally just
• 28:21
  going to ask you questions the rest of the night and you got to
• 28:23
  tell us what happened. Well, we know, we know the tight
• 28:28
  ends cost a whole bunch of passes.
• 28:30
  Holy God, all of them. All of them Tally.
• 28:35
  I was doing the math and I forgot about Saint Germain. 16
• 28:39
  catches for almost 200 yards amongst those four and those are
• 28:43
  the primary 4 from from what Brian told us and what
• 28:49
  everybody's saying Luke Luke Reynolds we we got him one year
• 28:53
  y'all this is the only year we going to have him I'm going to
• 28:56
  make a bet on that in my line let's.
• 29:01
  Let's make the most of it. On my line.
• 29:03
  All right, we got Justin. Let's see if Justin's works.
• 29:08
  Is it working? It is working, I just got to
• 29:11
  give me a second to figure out which one to mute.
• 29:16
  Mute whatever you're listening to us all because then it's a 15
• 29:19
  second delay because I've had that happen before trying to
• 29:23
  share links to. People, I can hear you and I
• 29:25
  can't hear anything else, so that's a good sign.
• 29:27
  That is a damn. Right.
• 29:27
  I think Justin doing good. Yeah, you good?
• 29:30
  Yeah, I had this. I've been.
• 29:31
  I've been here. Before SO I remember what this
• 29:33
  was like. So Justin, first of all, did you
• 29:36
  make the spring yet? I did not make the spring game,
• 29:38
  man. Like family things kind of took
• 29:41
  precedent. Kind of like you had the ball
• 29:43
  games to go coach. I had other things, but I tried
• 29:47
  everything I could to find any information I could get and the
• 29:51
  only thing that was on the Internet was the guy running
• 29:53
  into the the Jumbotron with the parachute.
• 29:57
  Haven't been there. And knowing what was underneath
• 29:59
  him, I know that all the angles from inside the stadium looked
• 30:02
  like, Oh, well, he just dropped right down into the into the
• 30:05
  bleachers. And I was like, no, it's 100
• 30:08
  foot drop right down. It's 100 foot drop and there's
• 30:10
  like there's a fence right below you.
• 30:12
  Yeah. It.
• 30:15
  Also, I do, I do think it's interesting that Blacksburg, it
• 30:18
  took two ladder trucks to get him down, but I'm glad they were
• 30:20
  able to get him down without it being a disaster.
• 30:23
  I. Understand.
• 30:25
  I. So.
• 30:26
  I'll go to what we talked with Will because we know Justin, you
• 30:29
  followed closely. Listen, listen, read as much as
• 30:32
  you can. Extract what's got you excited,
• 30:35
  what's got you happy. What for?
• 30:39
  Well, just after spring, post spring, whatever we want to call
• 30:42
  it. We got a quarterback that's not
• 30:45
  afraid to pull the trigger. So like, I haven't seen a whole
• 30:49
  lot, but I mean, I just been reading.
• 30:51
  I think there's a big, I think we already, it's fair to say we
• 30:53
  know who number 1 is and can feel pretty good that should
• 30:58
  something happened to him that there's a number 2.
• 31:01
  And then I think it's a drop off after that.
• 31:04
  I do think that Hewn was brought back down to earth a little bit
• 31:10
  from that scrimmage where they were saying he had 4 touchdowns
• 31:13
  and was slinging around like a gunslinger.
• 31:16
  So he, he's a true freshman and, and he needs to, he needs to be
• 31:21
  a true freshman. Learn right?
• 31:24
  It showed. It showed.
• 31:27
  We got a Q B1 and that's that's not afraid to throw the ball.
• 31:32
  From what I've been hearing on from different things tech
• 31:35
  sideline and other people that were there was that is that
• 31:39
  Gronk is the real deal and we're going to use the tight ends
• 31:44
  finally. Yeah.
• 31:47
  Can I, can I put Brian a question real quick?
• 31:50
  And then it's about grunk just because obviously if y'all Brian
• 31:53
  was there live saw it. What was the difference like
• 31:58
  when you you watched all four of them play?
• 32:00
  Yes, I know he might have been slightly inaugurated, but
• 32:03
  Brian's slightly inebriated. Still better than about 95% of
• 32:06
  people when it comes to football, but.
• 32:09
  What? We might be underselling it, but
• 32:11
  yes. No I'm not underselling it.
• 32:13
  We used to get craft based still correct.
• 32:15
  We used to get blasted in college.
• 32:17
  If he could still be like so and so didn't pull right, like like
• 32:21
  what Brian slapped over there and like now the guard, he just
• 32:26
  missed. He just missed the block.
• 32:27
  I'm like, so that LeBron, what was the difference, man?
• 32:31
  Like what was the biggest difference between Gronk and the
• 32:34
  other 3? You know, like I, I said it
• 32:37
  before, but you know, this is a guy from an offensive
• 32:40
  perspective of what we're doing schematically, he's coming in on
• 32:44
  second base compared to everybody else because he knows
• 32:48
  what this is all about. He knows where to go with the
• 32:50
  football. He is decisive with the
• 32:55
  football. I think it's the biggest thing.
• 32:57
  And, and, and some of that comes with comfort in the offense And
• 33:00
  some of that's just, you know, he's he's a guy that has already
• 33:03
  been thrown into the fire and has shown just that innate
• 33:06
  ability to get the football where it needs to be so you can
• 33:10
  keep matriculating the ball down the field.
• 33:12
  And that efficiency is what jumped off the screen for me and
• 33:16
  jumped off the page. And when I was watching, watched
• 33:19
  everything live, like he just knew what he was doing with the
• 33:23
  football and where he wanted to go with the football.
• 33:30
  That's it. That's.
• 33:32
  And if you can mix in some explosives with that, being able
• 33:35
  to get the ball down the field of the wide receivers, which
• 33:38
  they didn't really, you know, especially the in the first
• 33:41
  half, they weren't taking that many shots down the field with
• 33:43
  anybody. But one of the things we saw
• 33:46
  back in the offense is, you know, hitting the tight end up
• 33:49
  the scene. You know, those quick outs to
• 33:51
  the tight ends just to get, you know, those 5-6 yards, maybe get
• 33:54
  a little run after the catch. If you get a good, good little
• 33:56
  angle there, you know, we saw these things that are going to
• 33:59
  be so useful to get a quarterback comfortable running
• 34:03
  the offense. And when you start mixing those
• 34:06
  explosives in there, that's when you start putting some points on
• 34:08
  the board. I'm really curious to to know
• 34:14
  where the wide receivers are going to come into this
• 34:16
  offensive game plan. Like I've been sitting here just
• 34:20
  on the for two years now waiting to see some of these guys that
• 34:24
  that that came in these talented Virginia guys that I really want
• 34:27
  to see them get out there and, and show their stuff.
• 34:32
  You know, Keelan, Adams, Wiggins, I, I really want to see
• 34:36
  what they have to have to offer and what they can bring to the
• 34:39
  field. You know, I think, I think all
• 34:42
  the fans are waiting to see that.
• 34:43
  We're wanting to see somebody that can go over the top.
• 34:46
  Yeah. And one of the, one of the
• 34:47
  problems that I saw was, you know, you, you had the, you
• 34:51
  know, the, the primary 2 in that first maroon group.
• 34:56
  But when it came to the, to the second group there with, with
• 35:00
  the indecisiveness of hewn and the pass rush and protection
• 35:04
  issues that went along with that.
• 35:06
  Like there just wasn't a whole lot of opportunities to get them
• 35:08
  into the mix in that second-half on the maroon side.
• 35:11
  That's why you saw the white side really, you know, take some
• 35:14
  big jumps in the second-half. I mean, you look at the final
• 35:18
  score, 2112 White, but I mean it was, it was mostly Baroon in the
• 35:22
  first half there. And then when things swapped out
• 35:25
  and we started getting some of those second and third teamers
• 35:27
  in there, that's where the I think the overall depth on the
• 35:31
  white side carried the day. Whereas when you looked at the
• 35:35
  kind of the more, Maroon probably had a little bit more
• 35:38
  frontline talent but probably wasn't as deep as the White
• 35:41
  squad. And we kind of saw that play out
• 35:44
  in the first half and then the second-half, you know, the white
• 35:46
  kind of took over there. Excellent.
• 35:50
  How'd the line look? I hadn't heard anybody talk much
• 35:53
  about on on on the socials about the offensive line.
• 35:57
  I liked what I saw from the Maroon group in the first half.
• 36:00
  I mean they really had they had four guys that are kind of going
• 36:04
  to be in that seven or eight man rotation on the offensive line.
• 36:09
  So you know, from a first half perspective with most of those
• 36:12
  guys are on the field, you could see it, you could see a
• 36:15
  difference when things started getting shuffled in the
• 36:18
  second-half. Obviously we saw some protection
• 36:20
  issues coming there. And you know, they probably had
• 36:22
  more guys that were a little bit further down the stream on the
• 36:27
  on the maroon side as well. So when when the swap started
• 36:31
  there was a bigger drop off than you saw on the white side.
• 36:35
  Down 4. All right, well, I'll hop off
• 36:37
  here and let the next guy in. Awesome.
• 36:39
  Appreciate you, Justin. You guys have a great night.
• 36:42
  Thanks just as always man. Watch the rest in the lobby.
• 36:46
  Next up we have my third group panel host from the Hokies
• 36:53
  spring game, pre game show. He he was he was called into
• 36:57
  duty by yours truly at the end there.
• 36:59
  So we're going to bring him on now.
• 37:00
  Chris Lester. What up, Chris?
• 37:02
  Chris, I sent a message to you. You see it?
• 37:05
  You still look tired, man, because you went there all
• 37:09
  weekend, right? Yeah, well, First off man, good
• 37:14
  to see you because you've been Mia for like 2 weeks.
• 37:17
  I don't know what you've been doing.
• 37:18
  I. Am in the middle of some deep
• 37:20
  crap at work and I'm sorry. You, you can tell, you know, we
• 37:25
  understand. You know, you're busy, you're
• 37:27
  big time. You know, you've been doing
• 37:29
  things around you. You ain't, you ain't reacted to
• 37:31
  us and talk to us, you know, So I'm glad that you're back, you
• 37:35
  know, it's. Good to see you, Curtis.
• 37:37
  Hey, you, you come here in the middle of the week.
• 37:40
  I, I, I, I can always be entertaining here.
• 37:43
  That's in the middle of the day. Sometimes don't work.
• 37:45
  I hate you and Jonathan. Chris, I miss you.
• 37:49
  Chris I. Miss you too, Curtis, you know,
• 37:52
  and Jonathan Prometheus. Tally some, homie.
• 37:57
  Hey, Tally got the shout out at the end of the spring game
• 37:59
  there, Chris. Chris had to try.
• 38:01
  To make. I know you, man.
• 38:03
  I know. That's good to hear.
• 38:05
  B, what's going on, baby? You know, me and B are, me and B
• 38:08
  are one, you know, we've been hanging out kicking it.
• 38:11
  I've been kicking it with his son and stuff.
• 38:13
  So it's good work, man. And yeah, I, you know, he called
• 38:16
  me in and, and he, he got me at the end because we had, had a
• 38:20
  couple of lively drinks and we were smoking cigars and we were
• 38:25
  having a good old time. So I, I think a lot of people
• 38:28
  have a, a couple of different questions.
• 38:29
  I, I heard, I think it was Justin.
• 38:32
  He was asking questions about the online and, and what he saw.
• 38:38
  I, I had the opportunity, you know, go up the week before and
• 38:40
  take a look at some things. I, I, I was, I was pleasantly
• 38:44
  surprised that Big Bang James hadn't lied to us.
• 38:48
  You know, he hadn't lied to us. He had said he wanted to have a
• 38:52
  guy he could win with in the starting.
• 38:55
  He wanted a second guy he could he could win games with and have
• 38:59
  a guy he was excited about. I was most pleased with what the
• 39:03
  defense was able to do. The secondary.
• 39:07
  You know what, last year where we had the huge drop off when
• 39:10
  Josh Clark, you know, got hurt, it was like we went downhill
• 39:14
  quick. And you don't have that problem
• 39:17
  this year in the secondary from my man Jack was White to
• 39:21
  Palador, Josh Clark coming back. Your safeties are nice.
• 39:26
  I'm I'm incredibly excited about knowledge.
• 39:30
  Harold Tyrell, Grant Junior, Twenton Reddish's back and
• 39:37
  Jordan Bass is showing us he's that he can go from being a late
• 39:43
  hit miss Reed and letting a guy from South Carolina run wide
• 39:47
  open. He's learning.
• 39:49
  So definitely happy with that situation, the linebackers.
• 39:54
  Did anybody talk about the linebacker play?
• 39:57
  Yeah, I talked about a little bit like I I was especially the
• 40:01
  guys that are going to play the most snaps.
• 40:02
  I was, I was very, very happy with what they showed on
• 40:05
  Saturday. Yeah, Gabe Williams played.
• 40:09
  I love what Spencer brings. Noah Chambers is showing he's he
• 40:14
  can beat that guy. Oh, and also big, big shell.
• 40:17
  You know, big shell, big shell, though, as his Mama calls him.
• 40:20
  You know, when she's at the games, he was, he was played
• 40:23
  well in the secondary. So I was, I was excited about
• 40:25
  that. The D line is probably going to
• 40:28
  be probably as explosive and nasty as ever.
• 40:34
  You know, we we already know about Kumari Cope and Elijah
• 40:36
  Fall. What he can do.
• 40:39
  I think it's Malik or Malachi Williams and you know, a guy can
• 40:44
  come off the edge. We did have a little, we had an
• 40:47
  injury with Zeke Chenowee, but I think he's going to be fine.
• 40:52
  So the defense was was awesome. It sounds like it's coming out
• 40:58
  that there were some bumps and bruises and guys that got
• 41:01
  nicked, but nothing that really is going to effectively
• 41:05
  everybody's making it to August. Nobody is like crap.
• 41:08
  They go on like, you know, you always hear that it's like guys
• 41:12
  getting nicked and Chris, I can remember something you put like
• 41:14
  so and so is Nick and it's like my head went was football.
• 41:19
  You still got your teammate, you still you, you still got to
• 41:23
  tackle them. You got to hit them, you got to
• 41:24
  block. That's going to happen.
• 41:27
  It's the big ones where it's like, you know what it was with
• 41:30
  Clark and over to a point last year and that's that's that's
• 41:35
  deflating. It's just like.
• 41:39
  Yeah, I mean, my, my biggest thing is I wanted to get, get to
• 41:42
  this point where we get through the spring game.
• 41:44
  We don't we get through spring practice.
• 41:46
  We don't have anybody who's majorly, you know, injured, not
• 41:50
  just hurt that they can't get back and be able to contribute
• 41:54
  during the season. The one thing that I took away
• 41:57
  from is that when people got hit, they stopped, you know, so
• 42:01
  many times when we had guys like so and you know, we here, we
• 42:04
  were family, you know, when they would hit Kelly Lawson, they
• 42:08
  would keep going. You know, when they would hit
• 42:11
  Jaden Keller, if you know, if he got to tackle somebody, they
• 42:15
  would, they would keep going forward.
• 42:17
  You didn't have that happen Saturday.
• 42:20
  Guys hit, got hit and they stopped.
• 42:23
  And then and that's a big that's a big that attributes to what
• 42:30
  Jared Ferguson did the year before with the strength and
• 42:32
  conditioning and then carrying on with Coach Lucy Lucy and
• 42:37
  doing what he did. So I was I was excited about the
• 42:39
  defense. So everybody was like, question
• 42:41
  about what? I mean, Justin said he was
• 42:43
  worried about the white or wondering what was going on, I
• 42:46
  guess with the wide receivers. Was that a big thing that that
• 42:48
  people were asking? What was y'all question about
• 42:50
  that? Yeah, I think, I think Justin
• 42:52
  said. Like, you know, what was the
• 42:54
  wide receiver production like? You know, we look at the stat
• 42:57
  sheet, you know, a lot of a lot of tight end receptions, little
• 43:01
  smattering after that. You know, we were both there.
• 43:04
  Chris, give me your take on that.
• 43:05
  I know you got a, got a, got a good, good breath of knowledge
• 43:08
  on that position. Well, I, I, I want, I want y'all
• 43:11
  to understand is that the quarterbacks are taught right
• 43:13
  now in spring, they're learning the playbook.
• 43:16
  So now they just want to do, they want to make the right
• 43:20
  decision. So if they've got a 2, you know,
• 43:23
  they got a high, low situation. What they've been taught is this
• 43:31
  Coach Franklin made a a statement in in one of the
• 43:35
  meetings, even say, listen, don't miss out.
• 43:39
  And and this we're the family. You know, if you were out back
• 43:42
  in the day when some of you guys are out here wildcatting in the
• 43:44
  streets, that was never my deal. I was always been a one woman
• 43:47
  man, you know that type of thing.
• 43:50
  But if you, you know, if you can go get this 5, don't pass on the
• 43:55
  five shooting for the 10 and then the 10 ain't there and the
• 43:59
  five is gone, right? And that's what you saw a lot on
• 44:02
  Saturday. You're going to hit the the the
• 44:05
  sure thing. So the sure thing is going to be
• 44:08
  dominating the middle of the field.
• 44:09
  That's what they don't want to do.
• 44:11
  You're going to hit a Luke Reynolds.
• 44:12
  And Luke Reynolds is an absolute monster.
• 44:15
  He's going to be that guy in the middle of the field.
• 44:17
  But as teams go in the middle of during the year, they're going
• 44:20
  to try to take that away. But you've got capable guys on
• 44:23
  the outside. Aidan Green is a guy who can get
• 44:26
  it done. Q Caso Brown can get it done.
• 44:31
  Tysha I always mess mess my man's name up.
• 44:34
  Tysha Denmark. He he can get it done.
• 44:38
  Chance Wiggins had a good day. And I was so excited for him
• 44:41
  because he's been battling with a little bit of a little bit of
• 44:43
  injury and you know, he was pushing through and that's what
• 44:46
  he did and scored there. And so I'm excited about him.
• 44:51
  I'm always excited about the kids.
• 44:53
  So I mean, that's that's I'm, I'm just glad he's running
• 44:55
  around free and he was out there open and things of that nature.
• 44:58
  So that's going to happen. That's the maturation.
• 45:00
  So they're going to go from being I'm going to be, it's
• 45:04
  going from being awkward to mechanical to being natural.
• 45:09
  Does that make sense? Yeah.
• 45:11
  So the the so the the being awkward is I'm going to take the
• 45:14
  sure thing. You're taking a tight end.
• 45:16
  But as they get more comfortable, they'll start
• 45:18
  taking those shots down the field and you've got the guys on
• 45:20
  the outside to be able to do that.
• 45:24
  What I saw from the offensive line, you really didn't get the
• 45:27
  full, you know, taking the offensive line.
• 45:29
  Howlin hasn't practiced at all. You know, I saw we, I saw him on
• 45:33
  the sideline. He was on the white side.
• 45:35
  Those are the guys who were quote UN quote injured.
• 45:37
  But he hasn't, he isn't, hasn't played yet.
• 45:40
  Justin Terry, he's coming into his own.
• 45:44
  You know, I got a report for everybody.
• 45:46
  Tommy Wilder is 6 foot seven, 322 lbs right now.
• 45:51
  You're getting big, baby. He probably going to show up.
• 45:54
  He going to show up on campus 320-5330, so he'll be there in
• 46:00
  six weeks. So I think, I think you're going
• 46:01
  to have where you said 6 to 8. I I think you might have 10 guys
• 46:06
  who can play. And that hasn't happened at
• 46:07
  Virginia Tech since I've been here.
• 46:09
  I don't know when the last time we had 10.
• 46:11
  We finally got tackles in the building, Chris.
• 46:14
  Man, man, you finally got offensive lineman in the
• 46:17
  building, man. So you got 10 guys who can play,
• 46:19
  man. So I'm just glad.
• 46:22
  You know. Yeah, Big Franco didn't lie to
• 46:25
  us, man. We, we, we.
• 46:26
  I think we're good to go. I got Mr. Christopher.
• 46:30
  What's up, baby? How you doing?
• 46:31
  I'm trying to be like you when I grew up.
• 46:33
  I told you what I said, big fella.
• 46:34
  Listen. Man, listen, man, I'm always
• 46:36
  trying to be like you. What's?
• 46:37
  Up, stop it. I just want to say, hey, I
• 46:40
  didn't even want to say shit. I just want to say what's up to
• 46:42
  Chris? What's up, man?
• 46:44
  I heard y'all saying I fucked up somebody's shit earlier.
• 46:46
  I didn't do nothing. I went inside.
• 46:49
  I was mind my damn business. Next thing I know, we'll mess
• 46:53
  somebody up. Oh man, it's all good.
• 46:55
  But yeah, man, I was, I was excited about what I saw.
• 47:00
  As you can see, man, Coach Franklin's got his finger on
• 47:03
  everything and he knows that people are looking, looking at
• 47:08
  him to say, hey, how do we get these guys to to move further?
• 47:13
  Because I think the knock on him is that he's got a guy who's
• 47:17
  going into the draft, Drew Allen, and everybody feels like
• 47:19
  he didn't get the most out of him.
• 47:21
  He's had the knock on him and he hasn't had that quote, UN quote
• 47:26
  break out wide receiver, but you got guys around them.
• 47:28
  I just think if everybody's patient and allow this thing,
• 47:32
  though to just develop, we'll we'll get to where we want to
• 47:36
  get to. I'm officially on the USS.
• 47:38
  I'm lying and you know I'm I've, I've already took the mooring
• 47:44
  lines off and I'm ready to get this thing out in the out in the
• 47:47
  water Tally, you awful dag on quiet, man.
• 47:49
  Come on, man. I was.
• 47:50
  Going to say that earlier. I'm glad I'm back on being.
• 47:53
  All cute over there, man. What's up, man?
• 47:56
  Hey, I I wasn't able to go to the spring game.
• 47:58
  So I'm just listening to the to the experts and seeing what the
• 48:02
  seeing what the what the fields was, how people was liking it.
• 48:06
  Like I said at the beginning, I was trying to get the lay of the
• 48:08
  land and you know, all I got to see was a couple of videos from,
• 48:12
  you know, different people, parents and stuff like that.
• 48:15
  What I can say is there was some lineman that was ducking to get
• 48:19
  off the bus. I haven't seen that in a long
• 48:22
  time. Not sure who.
• 48:24
  I'm not sure who all of them was, but I know there was some
• 48:27
  people ducking to get off the bus so.
• 48:29
  Yeah, yeah, real quick. Who was it?
• 48:31
  Y'all seen that YouTube video today?
• 48:33
  Or the D lineman? Was it Malachi?
• 48:36
  Was it Williams? Yeah, Malachi Williams.
• 48:38
  Yeah. And this is no pun on Cunningham
• 48:41
  at all. That man was putting Antoine
• 48:45
  Riley moves on people in that video.
• 48:49
  So I'm kind of curious to see what the D line really looks
• 48:52
  like. I've heard what, 6 deep at the
• 48:55
  end? I've heard there might be an
• 48:58
  injury on the D tackle line. But outside of that, I mean, you
• 49:01
  got to be 4 or 6 deep competitive, at least 4, right?
• 49:05
  Yeah, you got. You got Elijah Falls, you got
• 49:08
  Kamari Copeland, you got Gerard Johnson, you got you got Eric
• 49:12
  Mensa, you got those guys inside.
• 49:14
  What's the kid? Ereka.
• 49:16
  Ereka. Yeah.
• 49:17
  Randy Ereka. Yeah.
• 49:18
  Ereka, yeah. I think real quick, Willy will
• 49:23
  let me just say this, just from conversations that we've had not
• 49:26
  only with Chris but other people it, it's the way the floor has
• 49:31
  been raised. 100% I. Agree.
• 49:34
  I mean, the way the floor has been raised is because you, you,
• 49:40
  we, you feel right now like when you know, we used to say what
• 49:44
  you want to say, we could say man, maybe 4 or 5 deep, yadda,
• 49:47
  yadda. And you kind of felt like, man,
• 49:49
  that's, that's like perfect case scenario.
• 49:52
  I don't feel like saying 5 or 6 deep at the end is like perfect
• 49:57
  case scenario. I think that's legitimately can
• 50:00
  happen. I think we talked last week,
• 50:02
  Chris, I know you were listening.
• 50:04
  We're talking about being 6 deep at wide receiver.
• 50:07
  I, I think it's going to and it's not going to be a blink.
• 50:09
  It's not going to be like as long as these kids develop and
• 50:12
  this happens and this happens, it's like, no, I, I, I think
• 50:16
  we're just going to be this deep.
• 50:18
  Like I don't, I don't, I think there's, the floor is raised so
• 50:21
  much. It's like there's enough, hey,
• 50:24
  there's enough places you can play on, you know, those
• 50:28
  specific positions, but it's like it's not pipe dream
• 50:32
  anymore. Like you just feel like just
• 50:35
  looking at the tape on these guys and seeing their
• 50:37
  backgrounds. It's like it's truly when we
• 50:41
  start talking depth, it's like I, I, I don't think I'm pipe
• 50:44
  dream anymore. Like I truly think that this is
• 50:46
  actually going to happen for numerous positions where it's
• 50:49
  going to be like, well, you know, so and so and so and so
• 50:51
  got banged up. And it's like, I don't care.
• 50:54
  The next two are just as good. And they're going to be able to
• 50:57
  continue to carry it on where last year and for the last few
• 51:00
  years, maybe in the last decade, it's just felt like so and so
• 51:03
  got hurt. Oh.
• 51:04
  Crap, Yeah, I mean depth. Depth is real.
• 51:08
  And when when you talk about college football, if you don't
• 51:11
  have depth, you don't have a whole lot because there's only
• 51:14
  so much that frontline can do, especially on defense.
• 51:18
  You talk about the the amount of stats of these guys are going to
• 51:21
  have to play. You got to be almost too deep in
• 51:24
  every position on defense to feel really good about your
• 51:27
  defensive situation. And that's even before you start
• 51:30
  factoring in injuries just cuz you got to have bodies that are
• 51:33
  rolling in and out of there. You know, a little bit different
• 51:36
  on the offensive side, you know, you're going to have, you know,
• 51:38
  some kind of primary Subs, but when we talk about that side
• 51:42
  wide receivers, where you're going to see most rotation
• 51:44
  there, you're going to see those guys work in and out.
• 51:46
  You know, when they're running, you know, two or three long
• 51:49
  routes in a row, you're going to see guys moving in and on and
• 51:51
  off the field. So I mean, that's really
• 51:53
  important. And obviously we know what we
• 51:55
  got with Hawk. We got Overton in there as well.
• 51:57
  So you know, you at least got two really good running backs
• 52:00
  you can rely on when the when the fall rolls around, you know,
• 52:03
  you mix in a couple other guys. That's going to be a pretty deep
• 52:06
  room as well. So feeling good there.
• 52:08
  I mean, there's not really a position that I feel bad about.
• 52:12
  And the depth has been raised across the board.
• 52:15
  So I mean, it's, it's really all about going out there, executing
• 52:18
  the game plan and making sure you, you know, you don't fall
• 52:21
  into that pattern of letting some of those close games get
• 52:24
  away from you at the end. I, I and, and you're, you're
• 52:27
  spot on with that. You you're spot on with that,
• 52:29
  Brian. I think if you come off the
• 52:30
  field, when you get your opportunity to get on, you're
• 52:33
  going to be you're going to know your assignment, you're going to
• 52:36
  go want to go make a play because you don't know when you
• 52:38
  might not, you might get back in.
• 52:40
  I mean, you know, if and you know, if Jeff goes out, yeah,
• 52:45
  Jeff goes out, Hulk will come in.
• 52:47
  We still haven't seen Messiah Mickens and you know, he's going
• 52:51
  to come in and he's going to come in and play and like, and
• 52:54
  like Coach Franklin said, you know, Bill Davis in the past, we
• 52:58
  would get a transfer guy in and we'd be looking for that guy to
• 53:02
  be he's going to come and bring a loaf.
• 53:04
  And Bill Davis got to fight to get to get snaps.
• 53:07
  He going to fight to get snaps, man.
• 53:08
  And that's what that's what you want to have.
• 53:11
  So you're right. If you go, if you go 10
• 53:14
  personnel, you can walk out Aiden Green Brown on one side.
• 53:19
  You put Snook Peter Ken on the outside and then you can turn
• 53:22
  around and put put the kid in the slack or Takai heat.
• 53:26
  If somebody gets nicked up, you don't feel like, Oh my God,
• 53:29
  Brown goes out, but the guy he's right there and he's ready to go
• 53:33
  out there and produce, right. We haven't seen Marlon Jackson
• 53:37
  yet. You know it, it is.
• 53:38
  So it like you said, they have raised the floor so high and now
• 53:45
  you're looking at the, the signal before we like, hey, if
• 53:49
  our frontline guys go down, we're in trouble.
• 53:53
  That's not the case. If I, if one of our frontline
• 53:55
  guys go down, you got a guy just as good.
• 53:58
  Just say and and go and go. Go to work.
• 54:01
  Or to say, I'm going to cut you off, Chris, my bad dog.
• 54:05
  I was just going to say, too think about from this
• 54:07
  standpoint, like Hawkins and Overton do the thing all game.
• 54:10
  We're actually up by 6-7, whatever, call what do you want?
• 54:14
  And then all you got to do is have Bill Davis just pound up
• 54:17
  the middle and actually get some push for the first time in
• 54:19
  years. Right then I hit the.
• 54:22
  Stonewall hit 2 yards in the back in the backfield.
• 54:25
  Because. They're fresh on the O line in
• 54:27
  the 1st place. You know you can close out games
• 54:30
  for the first time in years. And I don't have to worry about.
• 54:33
  Passing it for three yards an out or 4 yards an out to get
• 54:36
  that first down. Then we had to hope Kyron would
• 54:39
  hit. I don't mean that to be sound
• 54:43
  like shit talking, I'm just saying it from a standpoint of
• 54:45
  physical football. Yeah, because but this is the
• 54:48
  thing though, I know we talking a lot about players and
• 54:50
  personnel and depth and stuff like that, which is great.
• 54:54
  You know, all the discussion is great because that's what I
• 54:56
  want. But guess what?
• 54:57
  Let's address the elephant in the room because that shit don't
• 54:59
  matter right now. It don't matter.
• 55:01
  I want to know what the fuck was Coach Pride doing on that
• 55:04
  sideline? He got fired and he back in the
• 55:08
  building. This was his first time being in
• 55:10
  front of that many fans since he got his ass ran all over by ODU
• 55:17
  and ran out of town but really didn't leave town.
• 55:19
  So all of the players being healthy or not healthy or who's
• 55:23
  going to play, we don't know what team we're going to see
• 55:25
  going in the fall camp. So we got a lot of stuff that
• 55:28
  still got a transparent for the end.
• 55:30
  I want to know from the people who was there, what did that
• 55:34
  coaching staff look like? And specifically, what did that
• 55:37
  defensive coordinator look like going through the pregame, going
• 55:42
  through, you know, warm ups going through.
• 55:44
  That's the stuff that that that, you know, if I was there and
• 55:47
  that's what I would be looking at because again, I like coach
• 55:50
  Pryor. I think he's a great guy, you
• 55:52
  know what I'm saying? He's came on the show a couple
• 55:54
  times and he's very charismatic, but I don't care about that.
• 55:57
  I want to win. So my my question to the chat to
• 56:01
  Chris Bryant. I know you guys was yeah, what
• 56:04
  we getting out of the defensive coordinator right now?
• 56:08
  You want to run it Brian? Or I can run it from what I see.
• 56:10
  You can run it go for. It listen, he looks absolutely
• 56:15
  comfortable in his skin. I had a chance to see him and
• 56:19
  talk to him and he he seems relaxed.
• 56:22
  He's like back in his element. I think the one thing that he
• 56:25
  ended up doing for us a couple of years is he was away from
• 56:28
  what he likes to do and he just wants to coach football, man.
• 56:32
  He just wants to be able to coach guys get get tell them
• 56:35
  what they need to be able to do, you know, and walk them through
• 56:38
  it. And he's just back in his
• 56:40
  element. Some guys are meant to be head
• 56:43
  coaches and some guys are just meant to be great coordinators.
• 56:47
  And I think Brent Prize is meant to be a great coordinator.
• 56:50
  And that's what he did. He had, you know, his guys were
• 56:53
  on point. They didn't make mistakes.
• 56:56
  The guys that he's got in his in his different places, coach
• 56:59
  midgets, you know, don't coach. It's Nick.
• 57:06
  I can't. I don't I I want.
• 57:07
  To say Nick, Nick Perry. Yeah, Nick Perry.
• 57:09
  Yeah, Nick Perry. I was going to call him another
• 57:11
  name, but those guys are just coaching their guys up.
• 57:14
  And he was fine, man. He was fine being in the
• 57:18
  building, you know, didn't pull his pen pad out, had his shades
• 57:22
  on, you know, You know, And man, you're looking refreshed, man.
• 57:27
  And so I think, I think Brett Pry, you're going to get the
• 57:30
  best out of Brett Pryde, and that's what we want.
• 57:34
  From the standpoint, imagine if you got demoted, still made the
• 57:38
  same money and half the responsibility and then only the
• 57:42
  amount of effort you put. The amount of.
• 57:44
  Effort you put in that job to make your name again, because
• 57:47
  you know life goes on after this, right?
• 57:49
  Listen. And then Franklin, it said, it
• 57:51
  told us before I was going to take jobs elsewhere and I was
• 57:55
  taking Brent Pride with him. You take Brent Pride with him.
• 58:00
  Because even if that was a pitch, Even if that was a pitch,
• 58:04
  can he coach linebackers? Oh, he can coach, Absolutely,
• 58:09
  yeah. That alone won't make us OK.
• 58:12
  He he's got, OK, we, we could say it.
• 58:15
  He's got better linebackers than he's had before.
• 58:18
  Let's just be honest, man. Money's a hey.
• 58:21
  Hey, let's talk a little bit one one thing I want to say, Tally,
• 58:25
  I don't know if you noticed this, It's not, it's not full
• 58:29
  price. Got a little bit of a mullet
• 58:31
  going on and, and he's got the shades on and he's got he, he,
• 58:35
  he looks like a different human being from a comfortability
• 58:38
  standpoint. He's rocking the.
• 58:41
  Bullock, he's got a little bit of a Bullock going over the
• 58:43
  back. Like not not.
• 58:44
  Not a lot, but just. But not like, yeah, yeah.
• 58:47
  Yeah. Yeah, just just just South of
• 58:49
  normal. Just South of normal.
• 58:50
  You know what I'm? Saying so, we are CC football
• 58:54
  team, OK? Listen to me.
• 58:56
  Listen, if Denzel Washington can fly a plane drunk.
• 59:03
  Going to say but I like. It I.
• 59:10
  Don't care what he is, but I need to see.
• 59:13
  I just need to see some life on that sideline, you know what I'm
• 59:17
  saying? Like.
• 59:20
  I think I said this earlier when I before I bounced off, I was
• 59:23
  like just fly around and not to share people, be physical.
• 59:27
  I mean, the thing that we knew about James Franklin was that
• 59:31
  he's going to get people in the building.
• 59:34
  I did a job of it. I would say, you know, no
• 59:37
  discount to what he did. He let he raised the level of
• 59:40
  talent that we getting in blacks.
• 59:41
  With less money. With less money.
• 59:43
  With less money and then you get James Franklin, so the talent
• 59:47
  and the recruits and things like that.
• 59:48
  I'm like that. That is great.
• 59:50
  I'm glad that we doing it because I love to get into
• 59:52
  recruiting. Even though I try to like stay
• 59:55
  out of it and Curtis keeps on pushing me back in it.
• 59:58
  I know that we going to get the guys there.
• 1:00:01
  But I want to know once we get them there, what are we going to
• 1:00:04
  do? How we like?
• 1:00:05
  We can't keep. We got to beat Miami or Clemson
• 1:00:10
  this year one way or the other. And we're going to be one of the
• 1:00:13
  two, I promise. I promise we'll be one of the
• 1:00:15
  two you got. I'll put something on that.
• 1:00:20
  You got, you got four games. You got four to five games that
• 1:00:24
  will, you know, you can officially say you're back.
• 1:00:27
  You go, you go to Maryland. If you can go beat, you beat
• 1:00:29
  Maryland on a field, you do your thing.
• 1:00:32
  You come back on a Friday night in Blacksburg and beat
• 1:00:36
  Pittsburgh. That's a statement.
• 1:00:38
  Then you turn around and you take a trip down to SMU, play
• 1:00:41
  SMU, get a dub there and Clemson.
• 1:00:44
  Then you know, you get down to the last two games of the
• 1:00:47
  season. You know you you know you 8, you
• 1:00:50
  know you 8 and one nine and O go to Miami.
• 1:00:54
  You've you've already beat Miami before.
• 1:00:57
  I don't care what nobody say. When I got to get Charlotte to
• 1:01:00
  help you beat me, I whooped your ass.
• 1:01:02
  And I told every Miami fan when they went to go play Indiana
• 1:01:07
  this year, y'all weren't going to be Indiana.
• 1:01:09
  So I believe if you get me to that point and I'm starting to
• 1:01:12
  get everybody filled out and you got to defend.
• 1:01:15
  You got to defend the middle of the field with both of my tight
• 1:01:17
  ends and my wife received. My wife received is going to
• 1:01:20
  win. So you know, listen man, I've
• 1:01:24
  done this for the last three years.
• 1:01:25
  I've booked the room in Charlotte for the past three
• 1:01:28
  years. It ain't going to be no
• 1:01:29
  different this year. I'm going to book a room in
• 1:01:31
  Charlotte until they prove me wrong that I got to cancel it.
• 1:01:34
  So that's why I'm at with it. Well, Chris, will, I appreciate
• 1:01:38
  y'all we got. We got somebody else in the
• 1:01:40
  green. Room we got to get.
• 1:01:41
  On here, man, I'll get out, man. But hey, man, it's always, like
• 1:01:44
  I said in the back, man, it's always a great time to be a
• 1:01:46
  hokey and man, I'm. I'm glad.
• 1:01:49
  I'm glad to see you guys, Curtis, Thank you.
• 1:01:51
  I know you're live now. You're not in the witness
• 1:01:53
  protection program. Yeah, I know.
• 1:01:56
  You alive. So that, yeah, that.
• 1:01:57
  Was more important to me. I will listen, Chris.
• 1:01:59
  I will. I will.
• 1:02:00
  I will make a promise, I will. I will respond at least once a
• 1:02:04
  day when I get a message from you.
• 1:02:05
  Once a day you know I'm alive. That's all I need man.
• 1:02:10
  Driving to Richmond trying to be like, I'm worried about you.
• 1:02:14
  Before y'all shut us out of here, I just wonder, hey, I'm
• 1:02:17
  going to be at Clemson. I know Chris is going to be at
• 1:02:19
  Clemson. I'll be at.
• 1:02:21
  Clemson, y'all come on down here.
• 1:02:22
  Me, me and me and Chris already got it hooked up.
• 1:02:24
  We already talked about it. Yeah, so.
• 1:02:27
  You coming? Good.
• 1:02:30
  No shit. Hey, don't, don't.
• 1:02:32
  Don't shake the head. You don't mean it.
• 1:02:35
  You wouldn't like you better be there, bro, because my wife can
• 1:02:39
  be pissed the fuck off. I want to have to deal with
• 1:02:41
  that. I'm shaking with y'all right
• 1:02:50
  now. My wife, you know, my wife has
• 1:02:52
  actually been the one that's been looking for the looking for
• 1:02:55
  the tickets for. So she's got a discount thing
• 1:02:58
  through her through her hospital she works for so.
• 1:03:04
  Hit me up, We'll figure it out. So we get tickets together near
• 1:03:07
  Chris because Brian, I know you're going to be there, right?
• 1:03:10
  Let me see what I can do. I've never met you bro, but you
• 1:03:16
  go ahead and bring your ass. That's it man.
• 1:03:19
  Hey man, good night. Hey man.
• 1:03:20
  Good seeing y'all man. I'll talk to y'all soon.
• 1:03:22
  Y'all be boy. Appreciate y'all, y'all be here.
• 1:03:26
  All right, from these knuckleheads.
• 1:03:29
  Let's let's get him in here, the Godfather himself.
• 1:03:33
  We clicked at the same time. There he is.
• 1:03:36
  Hey now, when somebody talks about a man missing in action
• 1:03:38
  when? It's true.
• 1:03:42
  The white has been all over the place.
• 1:03:46
  How you doing? Hey, what's up?
• 1:03:47
  What's up? What's up, Dee?
• 1:03:49
  White What's happening, man? Hey man, I'm blessed man.
• 1:03:53
  I've been between my business and between my son and my
• 1:03:57
  youngest daughter. I'm getting ready for my oldest
• 1:03:59
  daughter to graduate. I mean, my 3 kids and my
• 1:04:03
  clients, I've been swamped. I've been busy, man.
• 1:04:05
  So things are slowing down just for these next few weeks, you
• 1:04:08
  know. So I was like, you know what?
• 1:04:10
  I'm in my, I'm in my Home Office.
• 1:04:11
  I was like, let me jump on here with my guys, man.
• 1:04:14
  The best podcast in the game and run my mouth a little bit about
• 1:04:19
  Virginia Tech football this year in my office where I watched
• 1:04:22
  Tech. Yeah, I got like a little
• 1:04:24
  stress, a little stress ball. I'm getting older, I'm getting
• 1:04:28
  older. So I got to make sure I got
• 1:04:30
  something to calm me down. Hey, look though, I just want to
• 1:04:33
  speak on a few things man. And then I'm going to let I know
• 1:04:35
  y'all got other people that want to jump on.
• 1:04:37
  I was listening to Chris do an excellent breakdown and some
• 1:04:40
  stuff. I just wanted I I literally took
• 1:04:43
  it back to like the presidential debates and took some notes.
• 1:04:46
  So one thing, one thing he was saying about, you know, Virginia
• 1:04:50
  Tech being back, I'm part of that group that created the
• 1:04:54
  expectations that everybody wants to get back to, right?
• 1:04:58
  You'll know Virginia Tech is back with two things.
• 1:05:01
  And that's when they learn how to close and finish games and
• 1:05:05
  they're winning more than four or five games, meaning the
• 1:05:09
  standard for Virginia Tech was between nine and a half, 10 and
• 1:05:12
  11 games. So if Virginia Tech is winning
• 1:05:14
  10 to 11 games, then you know they're back.
• 1:05:18
  And then maybe 1/3 component is physicality.
• 1:05:21
  I feel like during the latter part of the Fuente years and
• 1:05:27
  here the last few years with pride, Virginia Tech just wasn't
• 1:05:30
  physical. And I don't mean like Caleb
• 1:05:33
  Woodson and my God, this what you call the safety from Phoebus
• 1:05:41
  that Chris was talking about hitting people out of bounds.
• 1:05:44
  Yeah, doing that. Yeah.
• 1:05:46
  I'm not talking about hitting guys late.
• 1:05:48
  I'm talking about physicality on offense and defence where you
• 1:05:51
  can get on 3rd and one, you don't get stuffed at the line of
• 1:05:54
  scrimmage oil, you don't stop the guy on 4th and one and their
• 1:05:57
  power gets pushed forward. So that's the combination of
• 1:06:00
  knowing what you're supposed to do and your strength and
• 1:06:03
  conditioning program. Another thing man too is like,
• 1:06:07
  you know, I keep the excitement is infectious.
• 1:06:09
  I do think that Franklin is definitely going to get some
• 1:06:13
  instruction and accountability to practice, but just from a
• 1:06:16
  standpoint of somebody has been in that locker room, somebody
• 1:06:18
  that has played this game at a high level.
• 1:06:21
  The one thing that's never talked about until we start
• 1:06:23
  winning or losing and you not going to really be able to tell
• 1:06:26
  from the spring game, but I'm curious to see who the leaders
• 1:06:29
  are this year. You can't really get an article
• 1:06:33
  about leaders and leadership when it comes to like a spring
• 1:06:37
  game or spring practice. But one big issue, 1 big issue
• 1:06:41
  I've seen is that we don't really, well, we haven't had
• 1:06:45
  leaders, you know, and I mean, that's also because, and this is
• 1:06:49
  no shot at any kid, because I know several kids at the
• 1:06:52
  Virginia Tech program, but you know, I keep it real.
• 1:06:55
  Nobody in this program as far as the players coming in or the
• 1:07:00
  players returning now, one hokey on this roster has ever really
• 1:07:04
  won at the collegiate level. Nobody on this roster has won.
• 1:07:08
  So as much as the vibes, the good, as much as we can talk
• 1:07:11
  about the depth and the DNS, they got to learn and show not
• 1:07:17
  just us as fans and media guys, they got to prove to themselves
• 1:07:21
  they know how to win. And that starts with beating the
• 1:07:24
  brakes off VMI and Boat Race in Maryland.
• 1:07:27
  You if you go to if you go to Maryland and you win 1914, you
• 1:07:33
  got problems. If you if you win a dogfight
• 1:07:36
  with VMI at halftime, you got problems.
• 1:07:39
  So to me, the measuring sick is coming out and knowing how to
• 1:07:43
  play physical football and understanding your your
• 1:07:45
  assignments. I mean, depth is one thing and
• 1:07:49
  money helps, but it's a lot of teams.
• 1:07:51
  I've said this before in our group chat.
• 1:07:53
  There's a lot of programs that don't have as much NIL money as
• 1:07:58
  tech and they had 9 to 1011 wins.
• 1:08:01
  So money gets you more talent. But you know, a lot of these
• 1:08:04
  guys we got bro, they got they got to show they know how to
• 1:08:07
  win. Like, and that's not saying
• 1:08:09
  because Jeffrey Owitz and junior I noticed to see was six years
• 1:08:11
  old. He's a he's always been a
• 1:08:13
  winner, but at the collegiate level, none of these guys in
• 1:08:16
  that locker room can talk about winning, you know what I'm
• 1:08:19
  saying? So I just want to hear, I just
• 1:08:21
  want to be a voice of reason. I know there's a lot of
• 1:08:23
  excitement, you know what I'm saying?
• 1:08:25
  But I just feel like we got to, we got to kind of be.
• 1:08:28
  A little of the expectations. Yeah, like let's let me calm
• 1:08:32
  down. Let's calm down not, and I'm not
• 1:08:34
  saying calm down with the energy, but I, I was watching
• 1:08:37
  Tally when I was in the waiting room in the studio and I was
• 1:08:40
  watching Tally. I said Tally is looking like how
• 1:08:42
  I'm feeling and thinking because he's he's at he brought up the
• 1:08:46
  fact that how is Prague going to handle the defensive coordinated
• 1:08:49
  position? You can't go off a spring game
• 1:08:51
  because it's a glorified scrimmage in a squad scrimmage.
• 1:08:55
  We'll know given the adjustments on the road in a hostile
• 1:08:59
  environment. We'll know if we get up 13 to
• 1:09:03
  nothing and we push the league to 2027 to nothing.
• 1:09:07
  That's how you know the not because of what we did last
• 1:09:10
  weekend. You can't.
• 1:09:12
  That's, you know, and my last point you guys can talk about, I
• 1:09:16
  wasn't at the spring game and they didn't televise it, but we
• 1:09:19
  got we got the running backs of the playmaker.
• 1:09:22
  I know we got a bunch of receivers, but we really don't
• 1:09:26
  have a, we haven't seen a consistent group of receivers
• 1:09:30
  that have made plays like the guys like Jared Boykin, Danny
• 1:09:34
  Cole. We need that.
• 1:09:36
  Like, you know, Tech's usually when Tech is usually balling,
• 1:09:39
  and I'm including the tight ends too.
• 1:09:41
  They usually have a tight end or two or they have a group of
• 1:09:44
  receivers that extend the field extend, you know what I'm
• 1:09:48
  saying? Like make plays down the field.
• 1:09:50
  We have not really had anybody you fear from a standpoint of,
• 1:09:56
  oh, this guy may break other than Khalil Herbert, you know,
• 1:09:59
  Jeffrey Orbison junior, he's been that guy.
• 1:10:01
  But you know, again, that's just my thoughts, you know?
• 1:10:04
  Yeah, and Dwight, you make some good points there.
• 1:10:06
  And, and one of the things that you talked about that stuck with
• 1:10:09
  me is like the guys, even the transfers, all all these guys,
• 1:10:14
  they haven't won at the Power 4 level.
• 1:10:17
  Like the best guy on the roster that's played Power 4 football
• 1:10:20
  has seven wins in one season that that's that's the best
• 1:10:23
  we're talking about. So you know, these guys are, you
• 1:10:28
  know, they played on Bolt caliber teams, but they haven't
• 1:10:31
  played the the the type of level that we want to get to what our
• 1:10:37
  aspirations are. And you know, to that point,
• 1:10:42
  they got to come in here and prove that that they can get it
• 1:10:45
  done and get it done against those teams.
• 1:10:47
  And I'm going to shout out Vito, our buddy Don V, because he's
• 1:10:51
  been on our pre season panel a few times.
• 1:10:55
  And Dwight, since you brought up being back and things like that,
• 1:10:59
  like one of the things he he he always talks about, we say, what
• 1:11:02
  are the key games on the on the schedule?
• 1:11:03
  What games do you watch? And you know he's going to say
• 1:11:06
  we need to beat the dog shit out of ODU.
• 1:11:08
  Thank you that first game two dog shit out of DMI.
• 1:11:12
  Like that's the things that like we need to go ahead and you know
• 1:11:15
  that that needs to not be a game by the middle of the second
• 1:11:18
  quarter. Yeah, hey, I'm on.
• 1:11:21
  I'm on that panel with y'all too.
• 1:11:22
  I said the same thing like to me, Clemson and Miami, I never
• 1:11:26
  worry about Tech, even when they we've been down against the
• 1:11:30
  teams that are like the standard.
• 1:11:32
  Because like I said, when the when Miami came to town last
• 1:11:35
  year, even when we were on the road a couple years ago when
• 1:11:38
  Felton couldn't hold onto that football, Virginia Tech's going
• 1:11:41
  to play those kind of games tough because kids look at their
• 1:11:43
  name, They know about who's really good.
• 1:11:46
  To me, when we get back to the standard, it's when you boat
• 1:11:50
  race a team that you are better than not pull away late in the
• 1:11:53
  fourth quarter against an inferior opponent.
• 1:11:56
  Because when you can step on somebody's throat, then you know
• 1:12:00
  that, OK, we got a squad. To me, it's like, you know,
• 1:12:04
  basically playing with a sense of urgency.
• 1:12:06
  And that includes the coaches. Tally touched on something him
• 1:12:09
  and I talked about many times in post game Twitter spaces.
• 1:12:12
  Energy, man, like energy like too many guys too much talk
• 1:12:17
  about like wings and and and dip and and French fries and
• 1:12:21
  traveling to the 757. And then when the lights came
• 1:12:24
  on, I saw coaches running back and forth almost like their
• 1:12:28
  headset and didn't work. Guys getting lost in coverage to
• 1:12:32
  me again, I I am anticipating and I have a level of
• 1:12:36
  anticipation and excitement for this season because I want to
• 1:12:40
  see if Franklin can bring the structure in the excitement
• 1:12:45
  regarding like knowing what you're supposed to do on 3rd and
• 1:12:47
  8th. Like, you know, we didn't we, we
• 1:12:50
  were very poor when it came to ball Hawking in the secondary.
• 1:12:54
  This is a program that was mentioned for decades as one of
• 1:12:58
  the top programs for defensive backs.
• 1:12:59
  Again, I know they're bringing in talent, but they got to show
• 1:13:03
  me and guys like me and women as well that understand you talk
• 1:13:07
  about achieving, you got to be winners.
• 1:13:10
  Like all this talk about talent and we got death.
• 1:13:13
  That shit is fun. I'm excited.
• 1:13:14
  But does the death know how to win?
• 1:13:16
  Does it, does it, does it not shoot itself in the foot?
• 1:13:19
  You know when we hold a team on 3rd down, but then there's a
• 1:13:23
  flag on the play because we've been holding it secondary?
• 1:13:26
  Or you got to wait for Wake Forest from the rocks on the
• 1:13:30
  ropes. Excuse me, but then you have a
• 1:13:31
  dumb penalty on special teams. Like think about the games we
• 1:13:34
  gave away last year against teams like Wake Forest, other
• 1:13:38
  programs because of not understanding time and football
• 1:13:43
  situations. So I know I didn't mean to come
• 1:13:45
  and rain on the parade. I'm I'm excited too.
• 1:13:48
  Don't let I'm just being real. Now that's what that's my
• 1:13:51
  questions and things too, Dwight.
• 1:13:53
  So the one thing that I can say kind of gives me hope.
• 1:13:57
  I don't even want to use the word hope.
• 1:13:58
  The one thing I can look at and just have some kind of, you
• 1:14:01
  know, constructive criticism or some things that we can look
• 1:14:04
  forward to is we'll go. I hate to bring up old coaches,
• 1:14:09
  but when you go back to the Fuente era, right?
• 1:14:12
  So for when they came in, when they had a.
• 1:14:17
  We had. We had a stack, we had AG five
• 1:14:20
  staff, you know what I'm saying? Like I think pretty good.
• 1:14:23
  X&X's and O's coach himself, but a lot of the people who he had
• 1:14:28
  on staff was kind of unknown and that's OK.
• 1:14:31
  It was a couple of good coaches out of his staff.
• 1:14:34
  I think Vince Weiss was a pretty good coach.
• 1:14:36
  But again, when you didn't, we ain't got to go into all of it.
• 1:14:39
  When you neglect the state that you're in and talk shit about
• 1:14:42
  that state, it's not going to work.
• 1:14:44
  So then you move on to the Pride era, right?
• 1:14:46
  So the Pride era, Pride's a great guy, but the coaches that
• 1:14:51
  he brought in, who was a certified winner, when Dwight
• 1:14:55
  talks about the players coming in and who you know, these guys
• 1:14:58
  haven't been winners on the collegiate level.
• 1:15:01
  Where that happens and where you make up for that is coaching.
• 1:15:05
  So now when you bring in James Franklin, what gives me a little
• 1:15:08
  bit of a promise is James Franklin's a winner, all right?
• 1:15:13
  We know that no matter who wants to talk crap about him, he has
• 1:15:17
  won. Go look at his record.
• 1:15:19
  You go look at somebody like Coach Chaos, that's a winning
• 1:15:22
  coach. Coached in the playoffs last
• 1:15:24
  year. You look at Anthony Midget, a
• 1:15:26
  winner. You go look at Jared Ferguson.
• 1:15:29
  You go look at Lucy. These are winners in the
• 1:15:33
  coaching staff. So I think the problem that we
• 1:15:36
  had is that we didn't have no winners and that I think pride
• 1:15:39
  can be a winner. I just don't think he's a
• 1:15:41
  winning head coach. He was a winning defensive
• 1:15:43
  coordinator. So that's that's what I'm
• 1:15:46
  looking at now. And that's what like I'm excited
• 1:15:50
  to see, but also a little bit anxious and nervous about like
• 1:15:54
  all these coaching staff going to jail together because that's
• 1:15:56
  a like when I was looking at everybody was looking at what
• 1:15:59
  teams players was on. I was looking at the bottom of
• 1:16:02
  that list and seeing the list of coaches.
• 1:16:05
  It's like 30 coaches on each team.
• 1:16:07
  If you got 30 coaches over here and 30 coaches over here, that
• 1:16:13
  mean you got 60 coaches or 60 people who help them with this
• 1:16:16
  program. Somebody got to know how to win.
• 1:16:20
  You know what I'm saying? That's.
• 1:16:21
  The way I'm with that's, that's I'm with you, boss.
• 1:16:23
  So I'm like, that's what I'm, I'm hopeful for because I'm
• 1:16:27
  like, I hope we ain't just up here because I feel like we've
• 1:16:29
  been up here country clubbing for some years and I'm tired of
• 1:16:32
  that. Like I don't want some.
• 1:16:34
  People to get to the business. Hey, hey, I want Hey, Dwight,
• 1:16:37
  first and foremost, man, good to see you.
• 1:16:38
  Big homie always love talking to you, man.
• 1:16:41
  You know we have some other conversations That's crazy.
• 1:16:44
  We was having that Hubert Davis conversation other other couple
• 1:16:47
  weeks ago, which is crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:16:50
  But but going back to this. So when I went up, I had I went
• 1:16:55
  up a week the week prior to watch the last scrimmage before
• 1:17:00
  the before the spring game. So I was there that Thursday,
• 1:17:04
  Friday and Saturday so that the the wide receivers in the
• 1:17:07
  offense was whooping the defense's ass.
• 1:17:10
  And on Saturday the offense, they had like an angle tackle
• 1:17:17
  drill. My kid did something a little
• 1:17:18
  crazy. But nevertheless, that was the
• 1:17:20
  last competition. The offensive won that day
• 1:17:23
  because the deepest came out and whooped their ass in that
• 1:17:27
  scrimmage. But this was kind of going back
• 1:17:29
  to what you're saying about changing the mentality of
• 1:17:31
  certain things. So the offense, the offense, the
• 1:17:35
  offense it got got to play the defense.
• 1:17:37
  It made a stop and two guys that got into a fight, right.
• 1:17:42
  So Franklin turns around, Dwight sends those two guys to the far
• 1:17:46
  end of the field. They got to do 250 damn up
• 1:17:50
  downs. They said if you want to
• 1:17:51
  fucking, it's a family show. If you want to fight, you want
• 1:17:55
  to fucking fight, go over there and fucking start doing up downs
• 1:17:59
  because that ain't going to win this football games.
• 1:18:01
  There was a play that the defenses had had stopped the
• 1:18:03
  offense, but then they had a penalty about it.
• 1:18:06
  He fucking lost it. He said that selfish kind of
• 1:18:09
  play is what loses us football games.
• 1:18:11
  We get a we're all getting ready to get off the field and then
• 1:18:14
  the defense makes a play that calls a personal foul and gives
• 1:18:17
  the offense 15 yards. And those are the things man,
• 1:18:21
  that like you were saying, the dumb plays at the end of the
• 1:18:25
  game that end up losing your game.
• 1:18:27
  That's changing. OK, that's changing.
• 1:18:30
  So and I've seen that first hand.
• 1:18:31
  So when I was watching it, not know watching it from your eyes,
• 1:18:35
  because like I said, Drew about legacy, But the one thing you've
• 1:18:38
  said for the last three years and me and you've been talking
• 1:18:41
  is you got to make new memories and you make new memories by
• 1:18:44
  having the habits of winners and having a championship mentality
• 1:18:48
  is what Franklin is bringing to the table.
• 1:18:51
  So you're right until you turn the set.
• 1:18:53
  We can be as happy as pigs in slot right now.
• 1:18:56
  But until you boat race like two or three teams that you supposed
• 1:18:59
  to walk and then go in and and me, you sit there and smoke a
• 1:19:03
  cigar because I'm going to make you smoke with me.
• 1:19:05
  And we beat the brakes off of Maryland.
• 1:19:07
  In Maryland, it really don't matter.
• 1:19:09
  Hey, look, I'm with you. So we'll be at Maryland.
• 1:19:12
  We talked about in the chat and I'm going to say this, you know,
• 1:19:15
  I got spoiled and I'm not talking about back in my day.
• 1:19:18
  I'm talking about post my day, Tyrod, those guys and Cam and
• 1:19:22
  macho and those guys, because I think we talked about this in
• 1:19:26
  the in the season thing, pre season thing.
• 1:19:28
  We always do a boundary is that one thing about Virginia Tech
• 1:19:32
  football. It was, it was a very comforting
• 1:19:34
  feeling to know that when you play whoever that was inferior,
• 1:19:39
  even if it was a powerful team, that you were better.
• 1:19:42
  You knew even if it was scoreless in the first quarter,
• 1:19:45
  you knew Tech was going to step on their throat.
• 1:19:47
  And you know, one of the things that we talk about is, but we
• 1:19:50
  have this guy, this guy, this guy from all of y'all have
• 1:19:53
  played and competed in some capacity in sports, right?
• 1:19:56
  Part of being dominant in the championship mentality is
• 1:20:00
  understanding not only how how to win and but it's also knowing
• 1:20:03
  what you're supposed to do on certain plays.
• 1:20:06
  And I feel like in the last handful of years we will show
• 1:20:10
  flashes, but we still don't really have an identity.
• 1:20:13
  I'm excited with the prostyle offense that we're seeing in the
• 1:20:16
  tight ends because how many times have I tweeted and said,
• 1:20:19
  not group chat, Please for the love of God use the tight end.
• 1:20:23
  Also to me in the prostyle offense, when you have lineman
• 1:20:28
  and you have depth and you have the running backs you do, it
• 1:20:32
  makes the receivers and quarterbacks job so much
• 1:20:34
  friendly. So it's a very quarterback
• 1:20:36
  friendly offense because it's not about misdirection,
• 1:20:40
  basically an attitude and the identity has to be there.
• 1:20:44
  And I know it's not sexy and exciting for fans, but you will
• 1:20:47
  love them wins a lot more than you will love that spread
• 1:20:51
  offense when you just chucking the ball down the field.
• 1:20:53
  So I am excited about that. I just want to, I just want to I
• 1:20:58
  just as a fan and an alumni from a player perspective, I want to
• 1:21:01
  see a disciplined yet nasty team like those teams.
• 1:21:05
  I'm not talking about back of the day.
• 1:21:06
  I'm talking about. Even.
• 1:21:08
  The Strowman and Edmund guys, those teams were nasty.
• 1:21:11
  And what's that? Common say We were better than
• 1:21:14
  Maryland. That coach was ready to fight
• 1:21:15
  Frank. It's true.
• 1:21:18
  It's. Very true.
• 1:21:19
  Yeah, but I mean, no, we but but again, I don't know if you know
• 1:21:23
  this Brian and Curtis, but you know, if you you guys have been
• 1:21:26
  covering Tech a long time tally, you've been as well watching it
• 1:21:29
  and being on the the show. But I I like when people hated
• 1:21:35
  hated tech. I like when the opponents hated
• 1:21:38
  us and the fan because we took over your stadium.
• 1:21:41
  The fans did and the field on the field, the players and the
• 1:21:45
  team took over their trap. So it was, it was one of those
• 1:21:48
  things where we were assholes. We were so physical.
• 1:21:52
  And I know you can't go back and talk.
• 1:21:54
  I'm not, I'm not trying to make it back.
• 1:21:56
  And I'm talking about just the identity, knowing and having
• 1:21:59
  comfort that even if I couldn't make it to the game when I put
• 1:22:02
  it on at 3:30, we knew what we're going to do.
• 1:22:05
  So I'm glad that you, you broke it down, Chris.
• 1:22:08
  I ain't going to talk too much longer.
• 1:22:09
  Curtis and B and Tally. I just wanted to share my
• 1:22:12
  thoughts because I I, I love the the feeling we have.
• 1:22:16
  I talked to Anthony and Midget and I talked to him and JF
• 1:22:21
  Ferguson at unfortunate situation, Ronnie Whitaker's
• 1:22:24
  funeral, and I asked about some guys, Peanut linebacker Lauren
• 1:22:29
  Johnson's son, Sheldon Robinson, a kid I've known since he was 8
• 1:22:33
  years old. Say Big Sheldo, Big Sheldo
• 1:22:35
  Sheldo's my guy, very good. And some other guys on this
• 1:22:39
  team. So there's talent.
• 1:22:41
  I'm just curious to see how it's going to come out so.
• 1:22:43
  And then listen, you, you, you talk.
• 1:22:46
  You talk this, man. But you know, I I can see a
• 1:22:49
  whole bunch of folks show up, man.
• 1:22:50
  But I need you back in the building, big dawg.
• 1:22:54
  I need, I need you to come down and and bless us with your
• 1:22:57
  presence, man. I know you're busy.
• 1:22:58
  I know. Yeah.
• 1:22:59
  No, no, hold on, hold on, man. I'm no, no, no, no, no.
• 1:23:03
  I'm busy. But I will, I look, I, I, I had
• 1:23:07
  let me tell y'all something and I know y'all got a lot of people
• 1:23:09
  watching so I don't care. Who is this when you talk about?
• 1:23:13
  And again, this ain't about me. This is y'all show, but y'all
• 1:23:16
  are my brothers. I, I have done so much.
• 1:23:20
  I'm talking about post career. I've done so much for this
• 1:23:22
  program. From speaking at the memorial
• 1:23:25
  service on 9/11, I mean, for the Yeah 911 honour those people
• 1:23:29
  that were brutally murdered at Virginia Tech, to writing a
• 1:23:33
  column for Rivals in 247, from doing a 2013 spring game
• 1:23:38
  broadcast on ESPNI. You know, my own podcast
• 1:23:42
  interview some of the greats when Virginia Tech fell to what
• 1:23:46
  we were before Franklin got here.
• 1:23:48
  It does something to me where it's unexplainable.
• 1:23:51
  It it ruptures my soul. So I cannot, I'm not avoiding
• 1:23:56
  anything. I just can't be around it Now
• 1:23:59
  Franklin and the guys there now I'm willing.
• 1:24:01
  It's it's a new regime, but I could not walk into that stadium
• 1:24:06
  and sit there and watch them play with their food and
• 1:24:11
  dismantle something that me and my brothers work so hard to
• 1:24:14
  build. Like anybody that's watching or
• 1:24:17
  anybody, I don't care if you do softball, baseball, if you
• 1:24:20
  parted something special, if you in the fraternity or sorority or
• 1:24:23
  you help lay down bricks and built your house and you see
• 1:24:27
  when someone comes in your house and they pissing on your toilet
• 1:24:31
  and they messing with your remote.
• 1:24:32
  Right. I don't want to.
• 1:24:34
  I don't want, you know, I'm old now, but I will still confront
• 1:24:37
  you. So I had to kind of take care
• 1:24:39
  back. So can we so, so can you get so
• 1:24:42
  when we, when we, when we because see VMI is like a
• 1:24:45
  glorified scrimmage. I, I, we all can.
• 1:24:48
  Can we agree that that's kind of like?
• 1:24:50
  A Well, no, no, no, no. We want to feel like a
• 1:24:53
  glorified. OK, so smoke once we smoke BMI
• 1:24:58
  throat punch ODU, come to Maryland and smoke Maryland can
• 1:25:03
  can we get here? But for the whole fan base, can
• 1:25:06
  we get you in the building on A and and they go to Boston
• 1:25:09
  College and win. Can we get you in the building
• 1:25:11
  on a Friday night against hit? Can I get you there?
• 1:25:14
  Can I get that from you? If my if.
• 1:25:16
  If when I when I watch it and the online is able to pick up TE
• 1:25:21
  stunts and we're picking up blitzes, even if the receiver
• 1:25:24
  drops the ball. If I see my old line picking up
• 1:25:27
  and showing some competency and understands the Downing distance
• 1:25:31
  is third and seven, it's going to be a sight of just make the
• 1:25:34
  quarterback makes the throw. If I see those things that these
• 1:25:38
  guys are supposed to be knowing how to do, I'm going to
• 1:25:40
  definitely show up. You guys understand until until
• 1:25:44
  until until two years ago. Let me tell y'all something,
• 1:25:47
  even when I got waved in the league before 2 years ago, I had
• 1:25:50
  made seventeen straight spring games.
• 1:25:53
  I never missed a spring game. I was, I went to home, I went to
• 1:25:57
  Rd. games when Jimmy Williams and those guys were playing.
• 1:26:00
  So I was, I was like carving out time.
• 1:26:03
  I, I still remember staying up till 4:00 in the morning when
• 1:26:06
  Matt Ryan broke my heart. You know what I'm saying?
• 1:26:11
  Like you know what I'm saying? So like, yeah, Chris, I'm going
• 1:26:15
  to show up. Hey man, I know, I know, I know,
• 1:26:19
  you ain't got another team. I know this is your only team.
• 1:26:23
  You don't root for nobody else but the Hokies.
• 1:26:25
  But when? When we.
• 1:26:26
  But when we do that, I just need to be able to get a picture with
• 1:26:30
  my big homie, even building that pit when we come in on a Friday
• 1:26:35
  night. That's all.
• 1:26:35
  Well, first of all, first of all, not first of all, but
• 1:26:38
  probably fifth of all, I've been talking.
• 1:26:39
  Nobody jumps, nobody jumps off. But look, hey, look, first of
• 1:26:43
  all, one good thing that you know, I'm a very philosophical
• 1:26:47
  and spiritual person. One blessing out of all this win
• 1:26:50
  or lose, is I got it tight with you, Chris, and tight with
• 1:26:54
  Curtis BI call him B Brian and Tally Y'all my y'all, my
• 1:26:59
  brothers. So like we got our chat, but I
• 1:27:01
  promote everything y'all do and I met some other good people.
• 1:27:04
  I just want to, I want, I want the vibes to be, you know, when
• 1:27:08
  you win, when you win, everything feels better, bro.
• 1:27:11
  Like I don't care. I don't care if it tastes
• 1:27:14
  better. And when you win, when you win
• 1:27:17
  everything. Look, y'all don't understand
• 1:27:18
  dog. When we used to beat Miami and
• 1:27:20
  we were winning the left, I used to walk around Northern
• 1:27:23
  Virginia. I got I was like Frank Lucas.
• 1:27:26
  You. Was lucky out there, right?
• 1:27:30
  You know what I'm saying? My man.
• 1:27:35
  American gangster when he walking and his brothers behind
• 1:27:38
  him. Right, right.
• 1:27:39
  Down the sidewalk. That's how I was walking when
• 1:27:41
  black, when we were winning in Blacksburg.
• 1:27:43
  But. Yeah.
• 1:27:45
  But but I know Curtis, you got his shoulder run.
• 1:27:47
  I'm a jump ball. I just want.
• 1:27:50
  To I just? Want to get.
• 1:27:53
  I want to get that out in the atmosphere because that's what I
• 1:27:56
  want because of all the things. That you've talked.
• 1:28:01
  I. Want to get the white back to
• 1:28:03
  black? That I can get the big, the big
• 1:28:06
  homie the the the godfather of Blacksburg that brought all the
• 1:28:10
  talent. So, you know, as people try to
• 1:28:12
  call me, I'm the godfather of someplace, you're the godfather
• 1:28:16
  of Blacksburg. And we got to get you back in
• 1:28:18
  the building, though I. Want you know what, man?
• 1:28:20
  For real? I y'all.
• 1:28:21
  And you know what I can say is now everybody know I recruited
• 1:28:24
  Mike and Marcus Detect. Yeah, yeah, but I, I, I I Greg
• 1:28:27
  Stroman, Tim Settle, Lee Suggs, Like what I I, you know, like I
• 1:28:33
  joke Bima every time I see Frank Bean, I say, yo, where my statue
• 1:28:37
  at? I'm like, no, I said what my I
• 1:28:43
  said what my statue at, man. You know what I'm saying?
• 1:28:46
  Like I carried the flag for a long time, man.
• 1:28:48
  But yeah, bro, like, hey, but I will say this man, I don't
• 1:28:52
  follow the recruit as much as I used to, but I will say the
• 1:28:55
  talent, it feels good. I saw somebody trolling that
• 1:28:58
  might have been Joe Rogers. Somebody was trolling saying it
• 1:29:01
  feels good to be competing against Big 10 in SCC schools
• 1:29:05
  and no longer Toledo and Akron I.
• 1:29:08
  Saw that earlier today. That's true.
• 1:29:12
  Brian, look at put up, put up Uncle Joey's comment.
• 1:29:15
  He says no championship. Put that up right quick.
• 1:29:19
  So Uncle Joey, thank you for showing, man.
• 1:29:22
  No publicity is bad publicity. It is a Tuesday night at either
• 1:29:27
  night and it is 11. O'clock 11.
• 1:29:29
  O'clock my wife, look at me watching, but you watching the
• 1:29:33
  Virginia Tech show with no championships and y'all still
• 1:29:36
  ain't got no ACC championships? Get the fuck out of here man.
• 1:29:41
  National Championship. Game.
• 1:29:42
  Was that one of the 2007 people at their bullshit spring game
• 1:29:47
  who commented that just. Here to a Virginia Tech show,
• 1:29:51
  talk about some no championship. We don't.
• 1:29:53
  We know it ain't no championships.
• 1:29:54
  Y'all ain't got no ACC championships and you didn't get
• 1:29:57
  no championship last year, so hey.
• 1:29:59
  Man, I just they were. Showing up.
• 1:30:01
  And then whenever Miami fans come and say something like
• 1:30:03
  that, I just always ask them, clean up all that red and white
• 1:30:06
  damn confetti that Indiana threw in your shit and and stumped
• 1:30:09
  your fucking couch out on national on national TV.
• 1:30:14
  Well, they was talking so much trash about how they were going
• 1:30:17
  to boat race that team and I told them that they coached so
• 1:30:20
  clean up. That goddamn confetti will be
• 1:30:22
  down there in November. Hey, your ass in the.
• 1:30:24
  Building but look, look, look real quick that right there and
• 1:30:29
  what Tally did Curtis with Curtis?
• 1:30:31
  I mean, what Chris just said and what Tally just did, that's what
• 1:30:35
  I want the players to do. I know I'm the OG.
• 1:30:37
  I'm the, I'm just telling you, like if there was one game in my
• 1:30:40
  5 years and even as a alumni when we played Miami, it was so
• 1:30:45
  personal. The reason why it became a
• 1:30:47
  rivalry because we were a thorn in their side.
• 1:30:49
  I give them credit, they got it, they got the chips.
• 1:30:52
  But that's a historical perspective.
• 1:30:54
  That's the history lesson. Because like, you know, at the
• 1:30:57
  end of the day, you know, I just, you ain't won the ACC.
• 1:31:00
  And to me, last time I won it, I want to start, I want to start
• 1:31:04
  beating them again when the last.
• 1:31:05
  Time Miami When the last time Miami won a championship. 2000.
• 1:31:11
  Bro, if I was still in high school when y'all won a
• 1:31:14
  championship, man, I'm 40 years old.
• 1:31:15
  You're in the same position with you.
• 1:31:18
  You ain't saying shit. You're like, we ain't saying
• 1:31:19
  shit and. And, and we got an opportunity
• 1:31:24
  to fuck up their their shit this year because they think they're
• 1:31:29
  running the ACC this year. Shoot.
• 1:31:32
  They said my. Dummy.
• 1:31:35
  OK, OK, bro. No, no problem.
• 1:31:38
  No. Problem man, you still.
• 1:31:39
  Lost. It Don't matter if you was
• 1:31:40
  underdog, overdog behind the dog, dog in style, you lost.
• 1:31:50
  Dog in style you lost yo-yo man hey the ball telling me to get
• 1:31:52
  off the phone man. Good talking to y'all brothers.
• 1:31:55
  Man, I'll talk to. Y'all too man.
• 1:31:58
  Hey, I see y'all man, y'all stay up.
• 1:32:00
  Appreciate you later, Dwight. Later, Dwight.
• 1:32:02
  Later, Chris. Phil Phil full of that was.
• 1:32:07
  Awesome, Phil Phil, am I looking at wings and nachos?
• 1:32:10
  Can't hear anything. That's the most high plate I've
• 1:32:13
  ever seen. Chips, celery and wings.
• 1:32:21
  Like what's going on, Phil? It's.
• 1:32:23
  Wings, man. Phil, can you hear us, Phil?
• 1:32:29
  He can't hear nothing. I don't think he hears shit.
• 1:32:31
  No, he can't look at Brian. HILL Hey, hey.
• 1:32:35
  My cat going at it. Hey, you, Phil.
• 1:32:40
  Phil. While we work on getting Phil.
• 1:32:46
  All right, so we had Dwight on, we had Chris on.
• 1:32:49
  That was some good discussion. Hey, you know, hey, that's
• 1:32:57
  because y'all ain't won one. We can say who cares about a
• 1:33:00
  championship if we want to say it.
• 1:33:02
  I mean, you care about winning, so you ain't wanted care.
• 1:33:07
  But it's the funny point you made there for a second.
• 1:33:12
  Hold on. We're going to kick this one
• 1:33:13
  off. I'm going to put this one on.
• 1:33:15
  Shout out to all my Miami fans out there.
• 1:33:17
  Can you hear us now, Phil? Yo, can you hear me?
• 1:33:20
  We can kill you now. Let's see you there.
• 1:33:23
  Let's go, let's go. Was that sweet to be in the
• 1:33:25
  middle of that right there? That was pretty sweet.
• 1:33:27
  I, I, I didn't get my chance to say when he said the freaking
• 1:33:31
  when he said Eddie Lucas, I was like my man, like that's the
• 1:33:33
  that. That's.
• 1:33:35
  In that movie, and I was like, that was it Dwight's a man?
• 1:33:38
  Because I was exactly what I was going to say.
• 1:33:40
  Like, man, there's a shit load of people drinking some orange
• 1:33:42
  can maroon. That sounds gross.
• 1:33:44
  Kool-aid and like, I, I, dude, I, I know we Got Talent.
• 1:33:48
  I'm, I'm not going to drink it. I refuse to drink the kool-aid
• 1:33:51
  until we beat the shit like you said, out of VMI.
• 1:33:56
  Like we got to beat VMI. We got to beat Old Dominion
• 1:33:59
  convincingly. Like I don't give a shit about I
• 1:34:03
  don't know, man. And I'm also disappointed in
• 1:34:06
  Brian for not coming up with a better name for the show this
• 1:34:09
  week. Not related to the parachute guy
• 1:34:10
  hanging from the scoreboard. Like like, like hanging with the
• 1:34:13
  crew or something. Like.
• 1:34:14
  That. Like come on, man.
• 1:34:19
  Like I don't that's OK, I don't. I'm not bad but but but my real
• 1:34:23
  question. Early in my my I was glitching a
• 1:34:28
  little bit when people was talking about the the parachute
• 1:34:30
  or I was seeing and they were saying, oh, that's a bad old
• 1:34:34
  man. I'm like, no, it ain't a bad, it
• 1:34:37
  ain't a bad omen because he almost died.
• 1:34:39
  Like it ain't trying to be funny.
• 1:34:41
  But like if he if the scoreboard didn't stop him, it may have
• 1:34:45
  been worse. If he lands on top of somebody,
• 1:34:47
  then what happens? Like if he's walking around, Hey
• 1:34:50
  man, that's just the Virginia Tech way.
• 1:34:52
  It don't go out. Sometimes it comes out OK, so I
• 1:34:56
  don't look at it as a bad omen, but go ahead.
• 1:34:58
  Well. No, that's a good omen.
• 1:34:59
  I heard too that we actually going to get an insurance
• 1:35:02
  payment on that. Curtis might be able to chime in
• 1:35:04
  on that, that, that basically like we get the insurance to fix
• 1:35:07
  the scoreboard that we're then going to tear down and replace.
• 1:35:11
  So we make some money out of it too.
• 1:35:12
  I think we I think we're going to sign a backups long snapper
• 1:35:16
  with that money. Hey, so, so basically we're the
• 1:35:20
  the demo is going to be free because whenever the insurance.
• 1:35:22
  Claim is. I do have a question though.
• 1:35:24
  Corner look, look, everything he's great.
• 1:35:26
  Everything's amazing. We're going to be so good.
• 1:35:28
  Unstoppable, like 6 O here we go.
• 1:35:32
  But like what happens one if Brooke Meyer gets hurt, OK,
• 1:35:36
  because there ain't shit behind him.
• 1:35:38
  Shit, there ain't shit. And I hope we have an offensive
• 1:35:41
  line that can protect the passing quarterback that we who
• 1:35:44
  was the last passing quarterback Virginia Tech has had.
• 1:35:49
  I was I was hoping shit, I was going to say drunken Miller.
• 1:35:52
  Like, yeah, I guess Glennon maybe.
• 1:35:54
  Yeah, Glennon, so. But but hold on, let me block.
• 1:35:59
  For him. But but grunt Meyer is not a
• 1:36:01
  statue, though Brian made the point on that.
• 1:36:04
  I can't if you did it here a couple hours ago or just some
• 1:36:06
  casual conversation like he's not a complete statue like he
• 1:36:11
  has wiggle. He has ways where we were
• 1:36:14
  talking like. If you run Wells, can he move
• 1:36:16
  like Grant Wells? He moves better than Grant
• 1:36:18
  Wells. From what?
• 1:36:19
  I'm running Grant Wells on options dude.
• 1:36:22
  There's no way he can move better.
• 1:36:24
  I was on options. Because they were running a
• 1:36:25
  Smash Mouth spread and you didn't have a fucking option
• 1:36:27
  unless you, you know, wanted to take that element of your
• 1:36:30
  offense completely off the table.
• 1:36:32
  Yeah, which was stupid at that point in time, but I.
• 1:36:38
  Can't hear Brian. That's weird.
• 1:36:39
  You can't hear Brian. No, just you were running a
• 1:36:42
  Smash Mouth. Spread.
• 1:36:44
  Yeah, and. Was like, can you hear me?
• 1:36:46
  Yeah, you great. Yeah.
• 1:36:47
  Basically, we were running Smash.
• 1:36:49
  Mouth. Spread and you.
• 1:36:51
  Had to do. You had to run Grant.
• 1:36:52
  Wells just to keep them honest, but it was that discussion.
• 1:36:55
  I asked Brian like basically, I said Brian.
• 1:36:58
  They run cover once in five. If Grunt Meyer, if the guy
• 1:37:01
  doesn't hit Grunt Meyer, what what happens?
• 1:37:03
  He's like he gets 10 yards first down he's got he showed it.
• 1:37:07
  He showed it in the spring. That's not a solid quarterback.
• 1:37:10
  That typically works. For us.
• 1:37:12
  Like we were screaming for. Kyron drones.
• 1:37:14
  We were screaming for Tyrod. We were.
• 1:37:16
  Screaming for these mobile. Quarterbacks, I hope all these
• 1:37:19
  tech fans are going to be OK with a guy who is not.
• 1:37:22
  I don't know that that's a big change to go from what we've
• 1:37:25
  always been, in my opinion, to help out the running game to now
• 1:37:30
  we're going to be a pro set. And man, I hear prostyle system
• 1:37:32
  and I'm like, holy shit, that's not good.
• 1:37:34
  Because that's what they brought to South Carolina last year and
• 1:37:37
  that was a pile of shit. Yeah, we need to win field.
• 1:37:39
  So 100% and what we've been doing ain't working.
• 1:37:42
  Then maybe. We need to train.
• 1:37:44
  Yeah, well, that's. What I exactly?
• 1:37:45
  No, I'm with you. So I hope I, I hope it all comes
• 1:37:48
  to fruition on the. Field because it it sounds
• 1:37:50
  really pretty right now like Franklin is winning.
• 1:37:53
  He's winning the the the presentation contest for sure.
• 1:37:58
  So it's true. I'm I'm, I'm like Dwight, and I
• 1:38:02
  hope that I don't get my opium up.
• 1:38:04
  By August. But I'm like so many of us now,
• 1:38:08
  it's like we want to see it. We want to see crushing teams
• 1:38:12
  you should crush going to somebody's house, take their
• 1:38:16
  turf, take their lunch money in Maryland.
• 1:38:20
  That's a big game for recruiting, too.
• 1:38:22
  You know he's going to have a can you have recruits?
• 1:38:25
  On the road. How does that work?
• 1:38:27
  I don't know how I'm sure. You can.
• 1:38:29
  Hell, be smart. Really piss off.
• 1:38:31
  Let Mike. Loxley really want to punch
• 1:38:33
  James Franklin, Like, hey guys, go visit there, but come to our
• 1:38:37
  sideline or maybe show Marilyn what they didn't, what they
• 1:38:41
  missed out on. Exactly, exactly.
• 1:38:44
  So it'll be, yeah. It's like don't.
• 1:38:47
  Get the hope up. But I think what we've discussed
• 1:38:50
  here, what we're seeing all along is what we're seeing right
• 1:38:54
  now is just in general, just in general, the floor of the talent
• 1:39:01
  level has raised, the floor of the coaching level has been
• 1:39:04
  raised and like, and now it's what are they going to do on the
• 1:39:10
  field? What are they going to do when
• 1:39:11
  the other team will actually try to get you and try to rip your
• 1:39:14
  fucking head off? What do you do?
• 1:39:17
  And that's going to be what is it going to be?
• 1:39:21
  What's the exact, what's the official first date this year of
• 1:39:26
  September? How many, how, how, how was our
• 1:39:28
  time out usage in the spring game?
• 1:39:30
  Do we? Do we call you dumb ass time
• 1:39:33
  outs for no reason by chance or leave any in the pocket?
• 1:39:36
  I'm just wondering that's my that's my question so I don't I
• 1:39:41
  just we will. We will start finding out.
• 1:39:43
  Everything. September 5th.
• 1:39:46
  And that's. When you know it's it's either
• 1:39:49
  sunshines and rainbows are not again.
• 1:39:53
  Well, I'll tell you right now, like the rest of the sports that
• 1:39:56
  are coming wrong with tech right now, I don't think.
• 1:39:58
  Anybody should get too excited about what's going to happen at
• 1:39:59
  the end of the year of a softball or definitely not
• 1:40:01
  baseball. A baseball 1 today they beat VCU
• 1:40:03
  at the diamond. That was awesome.
• 1:40:06
  Ten 1:00 game. Damn.
• 1:40:07
  And no lights at the diamond. They're moved across the street,
• 1:40:11
  but. Man, I dude, if football starts
• 1:40:14
  like if we went if we beat VMI like 24 to 7 and then beat Old
• 1:40:19
  Dominion like 24 to 14 or something, man that those those
• 1:40:24
  happy go lucky James Franklin press conference is going to
• 1:40:26
  change real quick. Hey, I can't even I can't even
• 1:40:29
  put the word ODU and beat in the same sentence.
• 1:40:32
  I've never. Had beat myself.
• 1:40:34
  No thank God we dropped JMU shit good Lord.
• 1:40:38
  So I can't. I just.
• 1:40:39
  Got to see, hey, I just we got a long time for the season to get
• 1:40:42
  here, but not. Really a long time.
• 1:40:44
  So it's going to be a lot that's got to transpire.
• 1:40:46
  I need to see some people get healthy.
• 1:40:47
  I need to see what our offensive line looks like.
• 1:40:50
  And like you said, the happy go lucky stuff, that's great.
• 1:40:53
  But we got to have some production on that field, some
• 1:40:57
  production out of the coaching staff before me, myself, I'm
• 1:41:00
  going to get excited. One of the things I want to see
• 1:41:03
  is let's go makes me drink beers he really can't hear.
• 1:41:06
  You. He really can't hear me, Kenny.
• 1:41:08
  He really can't hear. You.
• 1:41:09
  I can't hear you for some reason.
• 1:41:10
  That's so great. I I.
• 1:41:12
  Agree with everything you're saying.
• 1:41:13
  Though 100%. 100% I mean because they don't got no picture up
• 1:41:17
  there. That's what the problem is.
• 1:41:19
  So wait, so tally if you want to come up to any.
• 1:41:21
  Game you let me go that that Lexington place.
• 1:41:23
  Going to be a hell of a lot. Cheaper than $2000 20 yards from
• 1:41:26
  the stadium, that's for damn sure.
• 1:41:27
  You can pay a pay a high school kid to drive you up there man.
• 1:41:30
  There we go. Great.
• 1:41:32
  It'd be great. I mean just pay like 200.
• 1:41:34
  Dollars each way. Damn, you saved your money.
• 1:41:37
  That. Is for real so Curtis one of the
• 1:41:39
  things I want to see rent that place during the tech.
• 1:41:41
  Camp, I hope we get going where you got to start renting.
• 1:41:44
  Lexington Houses, that's that would be.
• 1:41:45
  Sweetest that's that's that's what we need to get to.
• 1:41:48
  Alright, Brian, you got one more thing before we close it out.
• 1:41:50
  Yeah. So like Dwight's talked about a
• 1:41:52
  little bit, Phil talked. About a little bit tally.
• 1:41:54
  You've hit on it a lot. I think the thing that we need
• 1:41:58
  to see when the when fall rolls around, one of the things the
• 1:42:02
  the hallmarks of the pry regime was that when the the energy on
• 1:42:09
  the sideline always match the. Flow of the game, it's.
• 1:42:13
  True. So when when we were looking at
• 1:42:15
  the flow of the game. If we jumped out.
• 1:42:18
  Early it was, it was all happy, all go lucky.
• 1:42:21
  They fed off that energy. If things were tight or we
• 1:42:24
  dropped down early there was this tightness.
• 1:42:27
  You could feel the tightness on the sideline.
• 1:42:29
  The air came out. The booty hole was like this on
• 1:42:32
  the sideline. It was clinched.
• 1:42:34
  It was, it was tight. It won't let nothing in or out
• 1:42:37
  and and and that became a hallmark of the Pryor regime
• 1:42:41
  because that they weren't that even keel or always bringing
• 1:42:47
  their own juice on the sideline. It always was very game flow
• 1:42:50
  dependent. So we got to get to a point
• 1:42:51
  where from the staff and it's going to trickle down to the
• 1:42:54
  players that you know, one thing goes wrong.
• 1:42:58
  Don't let it snowball. Bring your own.
• 1:43:00
  Juice make sure that the. Sideline is ready hype in the
• 1:43:03
  game, ready to do the things they need to do regardless of
• 1:43:05
  what's happening on the field. Because if you do, if you're, if
• 1:43:09
  you're dependent on what the game is doing, you're playing
• 1:43:12
  down to your opponent. You always are facts.
• 1:43:16
  Agreed, Agreed. So that that will be the first.
• 1:43:21
  Hopefully. It's not the BMI game, it's the
• 1:43:24
  BMI game. God.
• 1:43:25
  Get get the cigarettes. Ready get to get to get to get
• 1:43:28
  the hard liquor ready because man listen, man, I'll be.
• 1:43:32
  I. Cannot wait to meet Phil in
• 1:43:34
  person because I know well feels.
• 1:43:35
  Great. I know he's going to be a
• 1:43:38
  handful. Yeah, you're awesome. 20 years
• 1:43:43
  now. Look.
• 1:43:44
  Just like Dwight said, like it hurts his heart, like these past
• 1:43:48
  whatever, 10 years. Aside from the Fuente flash in
• 1:43:51
  the pan, man, it's hurt my heart like so I just we got to we got
• 1:43:54
  to get this fixed because I I don't have any hobbies.
• 1:43:57
  So no, I don't know Yeah, I wish.
• 1:44:01
  He ain't. He ain't.
• 1:44:02
  I don't like model airplaning or.
• 1:44:05
  Civil War reenactments or just. Yeah, that's going to be really,
• 1:44:10
  really, really bad next. Year like unless we.
• 1:44:13
  Somehow hit lightning. In a bottle with some division
• 1:44:15
  NAIA transfers and JUCO AA division two stars.
• 1:44:22
  Like man, it ain't going to happen.
• 1:44:23
  Come on, man, it ain't going. I I can't believe Ben Hammond
• 1:44:27
  and those guys are even coming back.
• 1:44:29
  Like come on, like they, I don't know.
• 1:44:31
  So we're going to find out they doubled their pay.
• 1:44:35
  Well, they doubled their pay, OK?
• 1:44:37
  And then we're going to hire your son to play small forward.
• 1:44:40
  Like, I don't this is insane. Like, I don't know, that's me.
• 1:44:44
  And but I get it. Like I talked to a really good
• 1:44:46
  prominent hokey today at the baseball game and he's like,
• 1:44:48
  look, football wins one year. We get this thing rolling.
• 1:44:53
  Eight wins is great. But like if we somehow pull off
• 1:44:55
  9 to 10, the money will come in and that'll come out and they'll
• 1:44:58
  be that'll all somehow come out in the wash.
• 1:45:00
  And I agree with that. I just it's a big ass risk, man.
• 1:45:04
  It's a it's a big only one coach has ever won attack
• 1:45:07
  consistently. So we're going to find out.
• 1:45:10
  We are going to find out with all the resources and the money
• 1:45:12
  being applied to it. But I I hope I don't know.
• 1:45:15
  So, but I I get it. Football's what pays the bills.
• 1:45:18
  Like nobody gives a shit with Phil likes like everybody cares
• 1:45:20
  what people who put watch football like it it doesn't
• 1:45:23
  matter. It cares what the masses are.
• 1:45:24
  So it it is it is the IT is the the rising tide, right?
• 1:45:28
  If football does good, everything.
• 1:45:30
  Can do good because it brings the most money, the most eyes,
• 1:45:32
  the most people. It always has.
• 1:45:34
  It always will. And at least right now,
• 1:45:40
  regardless what you feel about James Franklin, at least they
• 1:45:43
  are fucking going for it. At least they're not fucking
• 1:45:45
  trying another coordinator or some G5 coach.
• 1:45:50
  It's like, you know what? This guy who's taking out lunch
• 1:45:54
  money in multiple recruiting battles, he is available.
• 1:45:58
  He is available. Decisive decisions.
• 1:46:03
  He's going to be able to bring better.
• 1:46:04
  Coaches in he's. Probably better bring better
• 1:46:06
  players in. At least we're going for it
• 1:46:09
  again because I don't think we all could have dealt.
• 1:46:11
  Would have been like, well, this guy from the guy that went to
• 1:46:15
  Auburn, was it P Dom who now Golish went to?
• 1:46:20
  Yeah, Golish went to Auburn. Golish.
• 1:46:23
  Went to Florida, Golish went to Auburn.
• 1:46:25
  Yep, Golish. Went to summer all.
• 1:46:26
  Went. To summer.
• 1:46:27
  All went to Florida. So the guys went to yeah, I
• 1:46:30
  mean, but as much as we want to say like, oh, we don't love to
• 1:46:33
  have those guys. We would have been like, you
• 1:46:35
  know, their G. Five guy, right, Their G5 guy.
• 1:46:38
  So we've been another fucking coordinator.
• 1:46:41
  God damn. Well, you know, he's a good
• 1:46:43
  coordinator at least got a head coach is our defense
• 1:46:46
  coordinator. We're a big fucking deal.
• 1:46:48
  You're a big damn deal A. Big damn deal.
• 1:46:50
