This week we Tell the Truth about a victory against NC State that none of us we saw coming. There was a different Hokies team that took the field in Raleigh that looked like they were genuinely having a good time taking the field together. We also discuss the BOV meeting that formally approved the budget increase for athletics and make our Big Screeners picks of the week.

This week we welcome Cam Lemons Debro from the Demon Deacon Digest and the Inside the Forest podcast to help us get to Know the Enemy ahead of Saturday's tilt against Wake Forest in Blacksburg.

In this episode we take a deep dive into the BOV athletics department budget proposal and the implications it has for the program, the athletic director, and Virginia Tech's place in the college football landscape. We also briefly recap the Wofford victory and make our Big Screeners picks of the week.

This week we welcome our friend Evan from the Red & White Podcast to breakdown the Hokies road matchup with the NC State Wolfpack in Raleigh.

The Monarchs came into Blacksburg and smoked the Hokies in an embarrassing low point for a once great program. While the program officially died last week against Vandy the Pry regime came to an end Saturday, a regime bookended by unexpected losses to the Monarchs. This week we close the Brent Pry era and start looking towards the future and whether the BOV and hiring committee can find a Lazarus Pit to bring this program back to life.

We regret to inform you that, after a 12 year battle with mediocrity and irrelevance, the Virginia Tech football program was pronounced dead on September 6th 2025 at 10:57PM in Blacksburg, VA. The program is survived by living legend Frank Beamer, Bud Foster, and a myriad of football alumni that helped build a rough around the edges but beloved team into a perennial ten win program and Championship contender. Wake will be held September 9th 2025 at 9PM. Bring booze and, if you wish to eulogize this once great program, a mic and camera. See you there!

We now turn our attention to Vanderbilt with the specter of last year's opener still blazed in our memory banks. Will the Hokies get right against their second SEC opponent of the early 2025 season or will Diego Pavia and Company work some magic in Blacksburg?

This week we recap what was both a hopeful and frustrating outing for the Hokies down in Atlanta. Virginia Tech matched South Carolina blow for blow for four quarters but a couple big plays and consistent execution errors by the Hokies led to a 24-11 loss. We Tell the Truth about a game where the Hokies never looked outclassed yet still came out on the wrong side of a two score loss.
